Hi, i have seen the 93 min version and i can't think of it having cut scenes, as it was really explicit...
If anyone knows what those 5 minutes included pls let us know
thank you

"Did you know I like to dissect girls. Do you know I'm utterly insane?"

Did you see it in PAL and then in NTSC format? That could account for the time difference without seeing any cuts.

There are two versions. From what I can gather, the cuts were done by Borowczyk himself for pacing reasons and whatnot. There's a three disc release by "Cult Epics" which contains both versions.

Bestness!

5 minutes less of boredom.

The pacing is different and some of the plot is revealed in a different manner and some a storyline was also "resolved". I dont think it is anymore explicit, but I think some of the scenes are rearranged.

The sex scene is different.
In the 93 minute version you get a quick from the rear shot of the beasts balls.
and a few different angles in the sex scene, in the 98 minute version you get the beast splooging on the womans tits and her rubbing it around.

Im curious to what the Swedish 103 minute version is all about, I see that listed here on IMDB.

" in the 98 minute version you get the beast splooging on the womans tits and her rubbing it around."

That same scene is in the 93 minute version I own.

The 98 min version was slightly longer.
