OVERALL: Blu-ray ALL
The Umbrella release restores the audio cues missing from the US disc (see the 'Notes' section for both releases) and also includes some additional contextual material.
To see a comparison between the 3 releases, follow this link.
GENERAL NOTES:
All releases represent the R-rated theatrical version. The MPAA gave the original cut of the film an X rating and forced them to make numerous omissions in order to get an R rating (including a shot of a fireplace poker stuck in the forehead of a zombie, blood spattering out of the back of the head of a zombie - the take used in the R-rated version has no spatter - and another zombie's head exploding). Some of these shots can be found in "The Dead Walk" documentary.
