Thanks to you both for serious answers to my question. I've checked DVD Compare, but I couldn't get Rabid grannies to pull up. I'll try again.
Incidentally, I do think the movie in it's uncut form is pretty good. Cheesy, bad acting, but pretty bloody and mean spirited as well. Unfortunately, all I have is a bootleg version in French with no subs. I'd love for this to come out legitimately in the U.S. fully uncut.
Thanks again!
i bought the dutch release(shock dvd), and watching the extra's on that disc i learned that that release is the only true uncut version in the world.
In fact the dutch DVD contains all the gore scenes intact but have a few dialogs scenes edited out. I think that the French VHS had all but it was dubbed in french (the original language is french but it has been dubbed in english by Troma, than redubbed in french (??). So in fact there's no actual completely uncut DVD yet. The dutch one is also at the good ratio, The Troma DVD is fullscreen. The dutch DVD is in eng with nremovable dutch sub. Make your choice.
shareThe dutch one is also at the good ratio, The Troma DVD is fullscreen.
Wasn't this one filmed in 2,35:1?
The dutch release it's around the 1,85:1, but... still looks cropped to me. And I think I heard the director or the producer say that the OAR was 2,35.
If that's the case, I believe there's no original aspect ratio release. The 25th anniversary edition has that beep beep beep cropped beep beep producer's recut to look like a 2,35:1 (and to get rid of the subttles) and it's really uncomfortable to watch. The fullscreen Troma release might be fullscreen, but the transfer is soooooo much better. Sadly most of the gore is out.
There's no ideal release. share
**SPOILER**
I don't think so. The scene where the heavy set man is stuck in a vestibule and murdered by one of the possessed aunts seems to be edited for a less extreme gore . At least that's what I noticed on the version I just saw on Hulu.
If you love and support Michael Jackson 100%, copy & paste this into your signature. We love MJ!
Yeah, I noticed this too.
A big, sizeable chunk was cut right out.

looked pretty chopped up to me...and not in a good way.
