The DVD release from Rhino Video is censored, with all nudity and graphic violence removed. The old VHS release on the Media Video label is the uncut version.
The 2006 DVD release of the film from BCI Eclipse is the uncut version of the film.
The original UK cinema version was cut by around a minute by the BBFC with edits made to 3 scenes:
The murder of the woman in the bedroom lost all footage of her being bound and her nightdress ripped open (shots of her breasts being scorched with candle wax were not present in the original submitted cinema print).
The strangling of the model was heavily reduced and the shot of the killer placing a coin in her stocking was removed.
The killing of the prostitute lost a shot of a coin being placed in her stocking and tied. The UK Anchor Bay DVD reinstated the shot of the coin in the prostitute's stocking though the print itself had been pre-edited by around 4 minutes and the other original BBFC cuts were not available to restore.
