OVERALL: Draw

- R1 UE boxset has an audio commentary and also extras on the bonus disc that covers this film.

- R1 Deluxe Edition includes a 3-D version of the film, but drops the extras.

The choice is yours.

All versions on DVD and Blu-ray are of the R-rated US theatrical release. The following scenes were cut to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:

(1.) The death scene of Andy showed his right leg and stomach being cut apart.
(2.) Vera's death was longer, it included more blood and a shot of her reaction. It was cut because the board said that it looked too real.
(3.) Edna's death was cut of excess blood.
(4.) The impaling of Chili with the hot poker was cut. Originally, the impalement was shown, along with a splash of smoldering blood.
(5.) Debbie's death originally showed blood spraying across her upper half and face.
