After many years the infamous Mark of the Devil is being released uncut in the UK. Arrow Video have put it out on blu ray, and they asked me to write an essay for the booklet. I was honoured to have been asked, and the fact that I love all that censorship stuff combined with the international angle meant it was pretty much a perfect fit. It was released this week, and I'm still eagerly awaiting my copy. It's a fascinating film, as these old shockers always are. If there was ever any doubt as to the exploitation value of torturing sexy ladies, this cheesy promotional image of Udo Kier and potential victim ought to settle the question.
If you too are interested to know how the film was treated by the BBFC, simply click on the cover above and order yourself a copy! Only be warned, this is not one for the kids.
