Dubbed or Original?


So, to the brave and few that have watched this both in French w/ subtitles as well as in dubbed English, which is more enjoyable? Normally I'd just assume that the original w/ subtitles would be the way to go, but the fact that Gary Oldman does the English voice over has scrambled my priorities.

Any feedback?

Mine is dubbed, and IMO, the best part of it is Gary Oldman's voice, if that's really him. I imagined myself watching Session 9 and I enjoyed the hell out of this one, lol. The movie is actually better than I'd expected.

...a little fantastic, and fleeting, and out of reach.

Gary Oldman isn't in this...

Stay 5/10
Reincarnation 8/10
Dead Birds 4/10

Yeah, he is. He provides the voice on the English dub, just uncredited

I'm french so I've only watched it in french. I wondered how this movie could be understood by french learning people because it's a very "realistic" french that is used (maybe a bit 90's) I just love these quotes
If you're studying french try to listen to it and see if you can understand

I have the dubbed version, and it's okay dubbed.

Better than the dubbings on the 1980s Italian zombie movies.

English dub is the way to go imho unless your native language is french or german

I only watched the French version, and despite not getting most of it (my French is only rudimentary) I really liked the 'tone' of the conversations between the mother and... whatever it is inside of her. In general I prefer to hear the real voices of the actors... reading subtitles is a small price to pay.
Having said that though, based on what I read here I think I'll go back and watch the dubbed version now... though I'm still doubting there's any Gary Oldman going on.

It's Gary Oldman alright. The director says so on the extra's of the German DVD.

I just watched the dubbed version, and it's absolutely horrible, as dubbed versions usually are. I didn't realize it was Gary Oldman's voice until now.
