As mentioned in the Poe-News, a remake of this came out in '05 and it has Robert Englund in it. Not on my "must see" list, but if I saw it at Hastings for 6 bucks I'd grab it.
I saw an abridged version of this on Network One several years ago. I say abridged in the sense that it was 15 minutes long. All of the good violent scenes were intact and unedited.
The barrel thing. I loved the barrel thing. That has got to be the best way to kill someone ever.
