Redux is not good, the added scenes add nothing except a little soft-core porn and just make the film even more unwieldy than it already was. (I'm wondering whether director's cuts are
as good as the original, except in flagrant cases of studio-butchering).
Although on reflection I accept all that, I still think those scenes work. Some of the campness in fact makes it all the more menacing.
