I've seen a terrible bargain-bin cut version of the movie under the title The Grim Reaper. I believe it was lifted from an R-rated US print of the film, which replaced the original synthesiser soundtrack with a cheesy one lifted from an old B-movie, and is missing two extreme gore scenes - i.e. the fist-abortion-cannibalism scene (yes, it's not a very nice film) and the intestine eating at the end - which sort of removes the only notable parts of the film, leaving a rather boring adventure/murder mystery with just a couple of eerie visuals to recommend it (the scenes where the lightning illuminates the Anthropophagus killer standing in the darkness was quite cool).
The copy I had was, I believe, the one distributed in the UK by Hollywood DVD. I would not advise anyone to purchase this version, not only due to the cuts, but because the print was so hideously muddy; the daytime scenes looked washed out and faded like an old newspaper, while most of the night scenes are so dark as to be virtually invisible.
