 Buying uncut dvds
When I first bought dvds many years ago, being a horror film especially, I have bought a vast majority of uncut dvds.
Some of which are permanently cut e.g. THE CONVENT, Tobe Hooper's TOOLBOX MURDERS (R1 dvd has some extra gore on the special features), JASON X, FRIDAY THE 13 parts 2-8. I have since sold the F13 dvds. But it's a shame, in this day and age we are not allowed to see the films in their entirety. I check on DVDcompare.net IMDB etc. but there is always some film that the greedy studios will not release uncut. SCREAM, if I'm not mistaken was released on laserdisc in the unrated directors cut. But when released on dvd, they cut 20 or so seconds out it. I know there are uncut versions of SCREAM around, but it's a case of pleasing the 'Blockbuster crowd' in America.
My first R1 dvds I bought were De Palma's DRESSED TO KILL (R rated & unrated with great features), Fulci's THE BEYOND & THE NEW YORK RIPPER and Argento's TENEBRE. Who else agrees with buying only uncut dvds?
