OVERALL: Draw
Each edition has exclusive extras.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film exists in a number of cuts based on local censorship; however, the three principle versions are:
- the Italian version (~84 minutes at 24fps/~81 minutes at 25fps);
- the English export version (~88 minutes at 24fps/~85 minute at 25fps) including a five minute scene in which Lori falls into a pit and Peter fights off a pair of cannibals who find her (this scene has been reinserted into some transfers of the Italian version and remains in English since it was never dubbed into Italian);
- the U.S. "Doctor Butcher M.D." version (~82 minutes at 24fps/~79 minutes at 25fps) which trims several expository sequences, replaces the Italian score with an electronic one by Walter Sear, a shortened credits sequence, and adds zombie footage from the unfinished New York anthology film "Tales That Will Tear Your Heart Out" to the opening. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL 4-Disc Collector's Edition America- Severin Films - No cuts - export version (89:13) with "The Pit" scene restored from film and the US "Doctor Butcher, M.D." version (81:50)
- Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom- 88 Films - No cuts - export version (89:08) using the Italian version master with "The Pit" scene restored from another film source.
