Fantasm - DVD - Uncut - Richard Franklin with Dee Dee Levitt and Stan Stratton .

great

The US DVD is NTSC Region 0 so UK viewers may need a multi-region player to watch it. The UK edition is cut by about 10 minutes but more of that later. This 1970s romp is a series of vignettes exploring womens' sexual fantasies, each scene introduced by faux psychologist Prof. Jurgen Notafreud, played by John Bluthal. The international cast which includes John Holmes, Candy Samples, Renee Bond, Uschi Digart and Serena, play out various female sexual fantasies such as group sex, stripping, lesbianism and S and M. This film is not hard core although it does come close, especially the underwater scene with John Holmes. The transfer is taken from original 16mm negatives so the image quality is good. The aspect ratio starts off as 1.33:1 for the start credits, then goes to 1.66: 1 for the rest of the film. Run time is 87 minutes. Extras include a Fantasm featurette, audio commentary and trailer.The UK edition has been cut by about 10 minutes. According to the BBFC website, cuts were made because of a scene of sexual violence and references to incest, definitely no-go areas for the BBFC. Even the end credits have been cut for Renee Bond's scene. Extras on the UK disc include several trailers for other exploitation films, audio commentary and Fantasm featurette. Whether you watch the full version or the UK one, the film shows its age but it is a bit of nostalgic fun when women looked natural, not the pumped-up plastics of today.

avid collector so great

Absolute rubbish

A real snoresville of a film. Yes John Holms is in it but DO NOT expect ANY hard core.Better off getting ANYTHING by Russ Mayer. Super Vixen, etc.Or the great Tinto Brass.
