Considering over 30 minutes has been added on top of the Romero cut, it felt like the right length. You would think a movie with long empty scenes of slow moving, pondering, gentle action, or watching the same truck drive sequence three times, or seeing bikers do many many random bits of raucous behavior would get old but somehow it just doesn't.
The 9 for audio is because there are a lot of gaps in the audio where background noise cuts out or a sound effect is cut short. I'm nearly 100% sure that this is due to the source material but there were a few that I felt could be due to the editing.
Truly an incredible cut of an incredible (and deservedly historic) movie, and for sure is the only version I'll be watching from now on.

Fantastic job. If you loved this movie for as long as I have, seeing it in a whole new light is wonderful, and inspiring. In fact re-locating this version recently, lead me to this forum, and lead me to try my hand at re-editing myself. Great job, great picture, great movie!!

Already watched this twice already. I’m glad this was made because I can still remember seeing film for the first time 11 years ago when I was a wee lad of 16. Stayed up until 2:30am to finish watching it. I never stayed up late like that when I was that age. This movie pulled me in THAT MUCH. I can still still remember jumping out of my bed and getting all excited when one of the main characters had a sudden change of heart (no spoilers here). Upon finding out that the version I had seen was the “director’s cut” and that there were 2 other versions, I knew I had to see it. I never saw the Argento version until the 4 disc DVD set. I said “hopefully someone finally goes and puts the footage from all 3 together to make the longest running cut of the film”. And now, I finally have it. Before this, there were bootlegs circulating on ebay that were vhs (and probably bad editing to boot).
That being said, this is my preferred version now. My only problem with it is, since I’ve seen the Director’s cut about 8279 times, I’m so used to the music in that version, that this one will take some getting used to.
