For years, it was hard to find the movie in an uncut version - mostly only low-quality bootlegs offered the uncensored version of the film. Finally, in 2004, the US-Label Synapse Films released the DVD in its uncensored version and completely digitally remastered as a "Limited Edition" (limited to 25000 copies) with the title Thriller - A Cruel Picture. 2005, the same label released the so-called "Vengeance Edition". Unlike the Limited Edition, this DVD offers no bonus material except a trailer and a censored version - in fact, this could already be assumed due to the fact that the "One Eye"-title was used for the shortened version in the 70's. However, the "Vengeance Edition" is only 3 minutes shorter and therefore not at all as heavily cut as the old theatrical versions. Most of the cut-out footage is hardcore sex material. Unfortunately, the famous "eye-stabbing"-sequence was shortened as well. Along with the hardcore scenes, the scenes of the real Lindberg (showing her pain and suffering) that are cut in between the hardcore close-ups were taken out as well.
