Is this IMDb entry actually for the Tales of Terror movie, or..?

I have the Tales of Terror from Tokyo boxset, which includes all four volumes of the Tales of Terror from Tokyo series. That I can find online, the only Tales of Terror from Tokyo DVD I don't have is the movie, and IMDb lists this one as the movie.

But Amazon lists the DVD release of the movie as being 93 minutes long. IMDB says this is 165 minutes long. But this can't be a mistake for the boxset, because it's much longer than that. Each individual DVD in the set is less than 165, however.

Now that I look at each DVD from the box set separately (and I'm pretty sure there is zero difference between the separate DVDs and the box set DVDs; they're just put in one box), I believe I realize what the problem is. Tales of Terror from Tokyo Volume 3 comes in two separate volumes: 3-1 and 3-2. One of them is 100 minutes and the other is 65 minutes. So, I figure this is NOT the movie, which is something different from the series, but volume 3-1 and 3-2 together. Additionally, there are 13 shorts on 3-1 and 20 shorts on 3-2... which adds up to 33, the number given in the review for this.

So... anyone know whether I'm right or wrong, and if I'm right, any reason this might have been mislabeled this way? Because I'm really confused.

This is a very late response, I hope it helps anyways.

The entry on IMDb is correct. Now it has the correct lenght and title,
for those who can read japanese, it's easy to check it out on japanese Wikipedia.

The cast and crew, the name of the "segments", coincide with the "Tales of Terror from Tokyo: The Movie".

Now, the reviews are NOT from this movie, as OP as noticed. Maybe the reviewers got confused by the old data, and thought this entry was for the DVD collection of the series, or they just made a mistake, getting lost in translation...

Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native
language.
