I'm completely stuck, i have been looking into the hundreds of releases of night of the living dead and have not been able to figure out which i should buy.

I live in the UK and have both a blu ray player and a dvd player however they only play my region. People say that some of the dvd's and blu rays are censored versions or coloured versions etc etc. :(

I have never been able to see this classic because of this problem and have sorely missed it from my Romero collection. If someone could tell me which dvd or blu ray to buy I would be soo grateful. :D

According to DVDCompare.net you want to get:


R2 United Kingdom- 2 Entertain/Cinema Club - No cuts - original Black and White 1968 cut.

...

Avoid the Contender release like the plague:

R2 CE United Kingdom- Contender - Yes, original Black and White 1968 cut, but the following is missing: (no BBFC cuts)
- Zombie fighting over large amount of intestines on floor.
- Zombie eating flesh off bone.
- Zombie biting/ripping flesh off hand.
- Zombie eating offal then turning to camera.
- The "trowel murder" has been reduced from 14 stabs to 3 (almost the entire scene has gone, including shots of blood on the wall during the stabbing).
