Barely released anywhere outside of a minor British run from Satan's Slave distributor Brent Walker and U.S. TV airings, Foes got the special edition Blu-ray treatment in June 2019 from Garagehouse Pictures. It includes two versions of the film; both never before available in the United States. One is an original Director's Cut, which is approximately 73 minutes long (01.12:47), and the other is the Theatrical Version, which is approximately 91 minutes long (01.30.18).
