Throughout his career, director Pete Walker was no stranger to controversy, but his 1974 film Frightmare sparked a firestorm of criticism from the protectors of public morals, who deemed it "despicable" (London Observer).

4:3 Vollbild ist das Originalformat! Bildqualität: mehr Schärfe als die US-DVD, dafür durch das Vollbild weniger Kinostimmung als die 1:1,85-Version aus den USA!
