Region 4 Winners and Losers

    There are three different versions of Blood Feast 2: All You Can Eat released by a company called Media Blasters in Region 1. These being:

    • An ‘R’ Rated version which removes nearly all of the gore.

    • An unrated single-disc edition containing Media Blasters trailers plus a 30-minute behind-the-scenes featurette of one of their titles called Flesh for The Beast.

    • An unrated, uncensored Director’s Cut 2-disc edition with the second disc containing bonus features, including an Easter egg (which simply re-plays all the nudity).

    The good news is that we seem to have been blessed with the unrated, uncensored Director’s Cut and the bonus features from the unrated 2-disc edition - minus the Easter egg. From what I can gather the Region 1, 2-disc edition is a bit of a money grabbing exercise (it retails for around $35 US) as the combined running time for the bonus features is around 30 minutes and our Region 4 disc comfortably places the film and the extras on one dual-layered disc.

    It also seems we have the same non-enhanced, soft, murky print and flat Dolby Digital 2.0 mix that Region 1 fans were subjected to.

    So, unless you’re titillated by a couple of minutes of nudity that you can replay yourself or want a featurette of a totally unrelated film (available on the unrated single disc edition) Region 4 is the way to go.
