Title Best
Fiend Without a FaceR1

    The transfer on this Region-free Umbrella disc appears to be the same restored version released in Region 1 by the Criterion Collection back in January, 2001. In comparison to the Region 1 Criterion disc, the Region 4 misses out on:

  • Original Mono soundtrack
  • English subtitles
  • Slideshow of stills and ephemera with commentary by Richard Gordon and Tom Weaver
  • Illustrated essay on British sci-fi/horror filmmaking by historian Bruce Eder
  • Trailers for The Haunted Strangler and Corridors of Blood
  • Lobby cards and Vintage Ad Mats
  • 6-page booklet featuring notes by film professor and author Bruce Kawin

    There is also a Region 2 disc available, but this should be avoided at all costs. It is presented in an incorrect 1.33:1 (full screen) aspect ratio, is reportedly very grainy and contains no bonus features.

    Although the Region 1 Criterion disc does not contain a Dolby Digital 2.0 mix as found on the Region 4, those with a spare $40 US to spend will want to invest in the Criterion edition for the original mono sound and additional bonus features.
