While I can\'t help with info on theatrical releases (if any), this troper remembers \'\'[=HtS=]\'\' being shown in the UK on ITV and being heavily promoted in \'\'TV Times\'\' (the Independent TV channel\'s listings magazine), despite its decidedly non-film-of-the-week status. And yes, this troper remembers watching it, aged 8 or 9, and feeling his critical faculties being shaken awake for the first time - getting flickers of awareness that bits of what he was watching, while neither \'\'boring\'\' nor \'\'too-nasty\'\' (his original, juvenile criteria for TV not to watch), were somehow, indefinably \'\'wrong\'\'. And age and experience have brought an increasing and clearly defined awareness of just how bad this film was.

And age and experience have only brought an increasing and clearly defined awareness of just how bad this film was.
