Different versions?


On the comments page one reviewer mentions there was quite a lot of nudity in this film. The version I watched, The Loreley’s Grasp, ran for 85 mins but there was hardly any nudity to speak of whatever. So I was wondering, are there different versions of this film, versions with uncensored nudity? I know it appeared in America as ‘When The Screaming Stops’ but I had always been led to believe that this was a poorer version. Can anyone help?

I have what's officially being sold as an uncut version and the nudity is more often implied than actually shown. For example, in the scene where one girl is in the bathtub and another one enters the room and starts splashing her with water, the bathing foam covers most of the naked body.

I don't think there are different versions of this. Or at least not a version other than the 85 minute one. Nudity is relative, and when someone says "a lot" that may be nothing at all. Some prudes are super sensitive about nudity, and consider anything more than a microsecond view of tit to be "a ton of nudity".

This being a Spanish production during the Franco era, there couldn't be much, unless there is an export version made.

I watched this today, and there is very, very little. In the opening scene you get a very quick (under a second) glimpse of one part of a woman's breast as she pulls her shirt on. There is a gore scene later that is supposed to be a woman's breast being torn by the monster, but it's just a closeup quick scene, and not even a real person, obviously. Then later there is a girl in a tub with bubbles over her chest, and you get a very brief glimpse of some side-boob. That's it.

See this image of an old promotional poster for the US version, talking about it supposedly getting an X rating for violence. No mention of nudity.

The version I watched was 85 minutes and under the title "The Loreley's Grasp" on the Shout Factory blu-ray.
