- Alternate versionsThe Dutch version is the only fully uncut one. All other versions (Greek, Japanese, Australian, US, German, UK...) are cut in gore scenes, basically because they are based on the R-Rated US-Version. The Australian Rental Tape, the German and the UK Version are even more cut than the USA R-Rated version.

Featured review
George came back from the dead...and he's not alone...
Manic depressive artist George Miller snaps one Halloween night, decides he wants to end it all and jumps from the top of the inner-city fleabag motel he calls home. Across town, small-time gangster Vito Minelli finds out the hard way, what happens when you don't pay off your gambling debts, as his vengeful cronies blow out his kneecaps, then douse him in gasoline and set him on fire.
Somewhere between life and death, George's and Vito's lives intersect, and both will be changed forever. This is not a good thing for George, and even worse for Vito's assailants, as they will each discover to their horror and dismay...
As low-budget supernatural thrillers go, RETRIBUTION manages to strike a nice balance between the yen of those horror fans who like character-driven stories, and the gorehounds who like to see "folks git blowed up real good." TV and movie vet Dennis Lipscomb, who very rarely gets to carry a picture, delivers a scary and sympathetic performance as the troubled George. He has the chameleonic ability to disappear into his character, which is both a blessing and a curse to the best character actors. They make it look so easy, most people don't even consider what they do to be "work," and that's the trouble.
Another out-of-print, hard-as-hell-to-find but worthy entry into the B-movie hall of fame.
