Uh oh, better read this before buying:

Apparently it's a terrible transfer with 10 minutes missing.

Well it's not a terrible transfer but ten minutes are definitely missing! My old Vestron VHS tape runs 83 minutes but this new Lion's Gate DVD is 73 minutes. After having waited more than twenty years for a crisp transfer, something is definitely amiss!

Lionsgate is apparently recalling their DVDs!

Their website states:

All consumers who purchased a copy and wish to receive the new complete version should do one of the following:

• Email [email protected] with mailing address and a scan/attachment of the purchase receipt

• Fax (310) 222-5562 with mailing address and copy of purchase receipt

• Snail Mail purchase receipt along with mailing address to: Lionsgate "The Dead" Recall, 20102 S Vermont Ave, Torrance, CA 90502-1361

Please call (800) 650-7099 with any additional questions.

Hope this helps!

I just wanted to update everyone. I spoke with Lionsgate today (Dec 8, 09) and, although there press release says that they would begin shipping the week of November 23rd, they currently have no release date set for the corrected DVD. Who knows how long we will have to wait. It would be nice to get it before Jan 6 so we can view it on its proper day but there is no reason to hold our breath.

If any of you get updated info please post it here to help the rest of us. Thanks

I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon!
