DO NOT FOLLOW THESE DVD REVIEWS
The reviews on this page are for the DVD. The Blu ray version coming out on 10/8 is the complete uncut version of SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, all 149 minutes of it. It is also WIDESCREEN 2.35:1.

I agree with Mr Glass this is a bad copy of a great movie. To bad there are no better copies. The movie was cut and the quility of the dvd is bad. DO NOT buy this dvd.
NOT the longer, un-edited version as claimed
Unfortunately this feels like a bootleg version of a very fine movie. The movie gets 5 stars, the DVD gets one. Despite what is claimed in the technical description, this version runs about 114 minutes, well short of the original 150 minute original film. Also, the DVD is a very grainy copy of a pan and scan film, making it very apparent you are missing about half of each scene. The real tragedy is that there isn't another version of this film on DVD at the present time. I'd only consider buying this DVD if you really need any version of this fine film. In the meantime, all we can do is dream of an un-edited, anamorphic widescreen transfer of this classic movie. Evergreen Entertainment, who released this version says on the back of the box that the DVD is only authorized for sale in Hong Kong and Macau. Must be because no one else would be happy with such a poor effort.
