is this great movie available on DVD anywhere? i have a region free player so any options available, please let me know. and if not, why is this not on dvd? legal tie ups or something?
if anything, this movie takes the top prize for oddest way to kill off a bad guy.

There's a really crappy looking version available on some of those "10 movies for $5.95!!!" sets they sell at Best Buy- it looks like it was mastered from a battered 16mm print (complete with splices and frequently missing footage) and recorded directly to VHS tape using a 1980s-era camcorder pointed at a wall the image was being projected onto. It's REALLY that bad...

As I understand it, Don May was (is?) trying to do this title with Synapse, but was having a really hard time tracking down original film elements, which the rights holders have seemingly let go missing. Hopefully, somewhere in a vault somebody will find the original elements for this film and we can have a good DVD release, since the scenery is so great. Properly mastered, this should look SUPERB on DVD, and it's a damn good flick, too. Maybe if the proper elements turn up, the early Brad Fiedel score can be remixed in stereo, too.

thanks, i appreciate the info.

*******an eerie, rising-pitch whistle wafts over the deserted Mobius Board posting*****One of the better slashers, yes....

Wow, this is superb news Vincent, I hope Don can rocate the elements and put out a super deluxe edition of this classic!
