Saw - EIV UK version - picture/audio quality?

[nitin]

anyone able to shed some light on specs and comparison vs US release?

[groundgamer]

I think Saw has a fantastic audio track, it's loud and clear, but the image quality is pretty ugly, with a lot of added grain and video noise, as well as some awful colour tones, but it also comes with some good special features. I recommend.

I would have picked this up long ago, but i hated the way the director removed scenes from the uncut dvd for the special edition.

thanks for the responses.

So this is cut then compared to the dvd? And any idea how it compares to the US release at all?

Yes, I belive so, but I can't remember the DVD version very well. The UK version has loads more special features than the US version though, so it's worth a purchase mate!

1) Are there English subtitles on the feature film?
2) Is it 1080p?
3) What version of the film is featured on the disc? You can just write the runtime.
4) What are the special features exactly? You can compare to German edition
Thanks in advance!

It's not classed as 'cut' so to say, a couple of scenes were removed on purpose by the director.

Sorry, no input on the UK version, but if you decide not to buy it, the German version (VC-1, 7.1 DTS-HR) is great and I think the Japanese box set (AVC, 7.1 TrueHD) is also great. I think the individual Japanese releases might be different than the box set.

Just a heads up, the old Entertainment in Video discs for Saw and Saw II are rotting on me.
