The official blurb on this new release reads:
A hard-hitting psychological thriller, Assault (aka In the Devil’s Garden) stars Frank Finlay as a career policeman willing to employ unorthodox methods to catch a sleazy murderer and Suzy Kendall as a plucky teacher willing to put her life in jeopardy to help him do so. Tautly directed by Sidney Hayers (Night of the Eagle), this controversial drama is presented here as a brand-new High Definition transfer remastered from the original 35mm camera negative.
When a schoolgirl rapist escalates to murder, Det. Chief Supt. Velyan (Finlay) faces an agonising choice when the girl’s teacher – who saw the maniac in pursuit of his second victim – offers to put herself in harm’s way in an effort to catch the killer.
Assault has been newly scanned to 2K resolution from the original 35mm camera negative in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The restoration carried out involved careful grain management, both automated and manual removal of film dirt and damage, and correction of major instability, warping WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY DEBUT 27 AUGUST and density fluctuations.
