Dawn of the Dead - 2004
 

Hi, this is my 1st post here, hope you can help :)

I'm in the UK and some of the US ratings are a mystery to me...

DOTD is being released here as 'R' rated and directors cut unrated - I can't get an explanation what the difference is - I'm guessing the director's cut is the one to get - anyone clarify this for me?

Cheerz in anticipation.

Yeah i would get directors cut. Although i dont know what the new Dawn is like, having never seen it. But there is also a 4 disc coming out soon. You might wanna ask one of the other UK's around here like Zwoti(if hes still here..) or ShankS(if hes still here..) I hope i helped a little.....OH and welcome to the site. Hope you have fun. And happy posting :)

Actually i think the Unrated version will be less "uncut" than the directors cut? Am i right in saying that?
P.s Greetz and welcome to horror.com

I meant to say the unrated ver will be more "uncut" im a little confused hehehe

thats 2 of us then - thanx for the welcome :D

The 4 disc version is for the original Dawn not the 2004 version.;)

*cries* I wish i didnt buy the divimax now.

I wouldn't bother gettin it. Get 28 Days Later instead.

Px

get both. the new Dawn and 28 days later are 2 different sides to the same coin. i love them both. I cant wait for the new one on dvd (i have an excellent copy from bit-torrent, but i would like a REAL copy...)

Rated R means you will see some tits and ass, and decent amount of gore. The unrated director's cut normally in general aren't much different. Can't say anything specific about DOTD '04
but directors will probably have extended scenes, and maybe some formerly deleted scenes the R verision doesnt. In general there isn't much difference, but can have some nice surprises depending on what the director/studio decides to put out. A classic example would be the ending of the Director's cut of Army of Darkness which is compeltely different then the normal video verision. Yr best bet is to read up on the differences.
