Releases Reviewed:

Unholy Terror is available from different distributors under at least two titles, the other being Crucible of Terror.

There are a few different releases under both titles. There are at least 2 stand-alone DVD's and 3 multi-packs: the 4 movie Born in Hell, 6 movie Terror Pack, and 10 movie Night Chills.

I got mine in the Night Chills 10 pack.

Video:

1.33: This is the “full-screen” ratio. The picture is extremely smudgy and so dark it’s often difficult to make out what’s happening.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The audio is only slightly better than the terrible picture. It can be a struggle to follow all the dialogue.

Packaging:

The set has each disc in a multi-tray plastic case. You can read more details about the whole set in the Night Chills (10 pack) guide.

The runtime on this version is 84 minutes meaning it's shorter than the other versions and therefore likely missing some scenes.

Extras:

There are no extras of any kind.

Other Editions:

The company Geneon offers one of the stand-alone DVD's and the Terror Pack 6 pack both with “Cinema Deluxe” written across the top. 2 different comments mention the video quality of their version being superior to others they've seen. Another comment mentions the inclusion of an additional 10 minutes worth of cut scenes that fill out the story a bit more. The ratio is listed as 1.33 (“full-frame”)

The Severin Films release lists the same run time at 91 minutes (supposedly the longer, superior cut of the film) and is the only one listing a widescreen presentation at 1.77 (not a huge difference from the 1.33 ratio but it should be enough to be noticeable).

None of these list audio specs which means you can probably count on them all being mono. None lists any extras.

Final Thoughts:

If you're wanting this movie the Night Chills pack I have is probably the least desirable version available on DVD. One of the two Cinema Deluxe releases would be a better option.
