I checked the page, but I don't see if it's one cut or both cuts. Just says "main feature".

Pretty sure it's just the uncut version, just like the US 4K.

I figured, but I was kinda hoping for both to make it worth upgrading over the US edition. Still might.

Got excited thinking Possession was up for pre-order lol. Possessor's a brilliant film, though. I don't own it in any form so this'll be mine.

Still haven't seen this one but it's on my list. Second Sight is killing it lately.

[Darmok1004]

I don’t have Green Room which is the other film Second Sight is releasing at the same time so I think I’ll get that one, I’m pretty happy with my 4K Atmos uncut steelbook version of Possessor so I think I’ll pass.

[Filmmaker]

Up at Atomic Movie Store! $1 cheaper than Diabolik!

[RevolverOcelScott]

Second Sight confirmed it's the Uncut version.

Would have liked both, but it is what it is.

[VIDEOgameDROME]

Does this have Atmos like the German edition?

[StingingVelvet]

Wish the movie disc was in a normal case, since I tend to only "display" normal cases and put the rest away. Seems like it's in a cardboard holder. Oh well, still excited to get it.

They're releasing a standard edition (amaray case, no tat) at the same time.

as someone who saw both of these theatrically in empty theatres, i’m glad they’re movies are getting more love. glad more people will get a chance to see these.

possessor comes out pre vaccine when theatres are just opening up again in some areas, and green room comes out before the cult of A24 fans exists. neon feels like A24, but without the obsessive fans.

have you seen both versions? could you tell the difference? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

neon actually played it uncut without issue because nothing was being booked at the time. i don’t think the cut version played anywhere theatrically. it might have just been for wal mart and hulu. (speculation. maybe someone might know)

The uncut version was shown at Sundance, then it received cuts for an R-rating and was shown in US theaters that way. It wasn't shown uncut theatrically in the USA till its double-screening with Infinity Pool last year. The UK got it uncut theatrically. The R-rated cut is on some streaming services along with the uncut version. The uncut version runs 44 seconds longer with some alternate scenes. There's no reason to watch the cut version, granted it's only 44 seconds I can't imagine watching it without the extra footage. It's extra gnarly as the film is supposed to be.

Yah but I want the booklet. Me likes me some booklets.

[nekromantik]

i got the US 4k but if this has improved DV grade then I may double dip as I love this movie!

If this has the uncut version, why would you want to see the other ?

IMO movies should never be cut.

I love movies with multiple cuts, and since I already have the uncut 4K, was hoping for both cuts in 4K for completionism.

This is just my personal opinion, it doesn't have any sway on what Second Sight do:

But I personally can't bring myself to care about a watered down version that was made to satisfy the prissy demands of a bunch of puritan film censors in the USA. I don't think there was any artistic purpose behind making it, was there? It's just something that was done to keep those poor sensitive people happy and allow the film to play in US theaters. It's served that purpose, why prolong the silliness by preserving it on disc?

[LloydK]

The R-Rated version has some alternative shots so its preservation is valuable. They would be nice as an extra.
