Does the directors cut differ greatly to the original version?

It does.More gore,more sex!

I think I must be one of the few here who found Bad Moon more than a little underwhelming as a lot of folk seem to rave about it. Maybe I need to give it a re-watch, but as I recall it has a solid opener but then fizzles out very quickly and turns into some damp melodrama about a man, his family and his dog...

You really need to go Blu Ray mate.

BAD MOON is one of the best examples the format has to offer.
It's what it was made for.....especially when you watch the unrated opening from a VHS tape!

The Eureka release of COCOON is great.

Might have stuck Cocoon The Return on there as an extra though....

Wolf. Jack Nicholson is a tired middle aged book editor who finds he's been replaced at work and in the marital bed by his backstabbing young protege (a slimy James Spader, who becomes as creepy as hell by the end). An accident on a lonely, icy country road that results in a bite from an apparent wolf sees him unexpectedly regain his spark and drive and he sets out to win back his job, destroy his treacherous protege and win the affections of a much younger woman (Michelle Pfeiffer). But every silver lining comes with a cloud... This 1994 werewolf flick is more of a supernatural drama/thriller than an out and out horror flick, and was deliberately old fashioned even then, but I've always thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very underrated. The leads are all great, with a fine supporting cast including Christopher Plummer and David Hyde Pierce (and spot a (just) pre-Friends David Schwimmer in a small role as a cop!). Well made, well acted and just a good story, well told.

Watched the new anthology HOLIDAYS last night. Wasn't expecting much, but I really enjoyed it! The really good segments outnumbered the not-so-good and there were some genuinely unsettling moments even in the ones that were just middle-ground. I might have to pick up a copy, if I can find it cheap. It's worth it just for the extremely creepy EASTER segment.
