i prefer the newer version, i think its more entertaining, and the older version is now a bit dated. However the the old one is THE classic and that will never change.

There isn't too much added to the directors cut. But the extra scenes that are in there are good.

I'm trying to remember what they were... I think there is more stuff going on with the mall secuirity guards in the directors cut.

If the directors cut is cheaper, then definitely go for that.

These are both the remake that was in the cinema last year. The directors cut has a few extra scenes that you won't have seen in the cinema.

I agree... The zombie face is pretty cool.

My directors cut was region 1 I think. But it was the same box and it had one of those tatty cardboard slip on things as well...

Thanks, posted it in the wrong forum.

The R3 Director's Cut / Unrated Edition has the coolest box

Director's Cut Region 3

The zombie face on the white box works really well (the black sticker in the photo is just on the sheet of plastic wrapping, so there really isn't any clutter on the cover once opened) -- then the disc on the inside is the same zombie face but it's been blown apart by a shotgun so there's all brain matter & gore on the disc

There's also a 'Premium Edition' R3 edition, not sure what the difference is, but the box is also better than the R1/2 ones.

Premium Edition

At the end of the day, the director's cut is definitely better than the theatrical release, adds a few good character-building scenes to the mix.

Premium Edition adds DTS sound, and I think its a Japanese release so probably find it is actually Region2, where as 'R3 Director's Cut / Unrated Edition ' is Asian (HongKong) release

That white box is definitely cool! I really love this remake, pitty the 'day of the dead' remake looks a bit crap.

I loved the film too. Its not the first time ive seen director`s cuts cheaper than the normal version.

I dont have this one on DVD yet i might just pick it up for myself!

My gf bought me a copy of this when it was released, its an asian region dvd, directors cut with the zombie face on the front. Its a classic movie tho, absolutely brilliant

Sometimes, when I wake up screaming at how bad Resident Evil was, I pretend that Dawn of the Dead '04 was the Resident Evil film. That makes everything better.

The creepy little zombie kid cover is cooler, but the Director's cut is just that subtle bit nastier. See Jogger the Zombie for details.

I picked up the directors cut during the week. I was rewatching my favourite parts and I have to say that the added bits are very well done. They subtlely up the terror and none of it feels like filler.

I think I may end up buying this. After seeing it in the cinema I figured I probably wouldn't, but I'm getting the itch to see it again. Even if just for the pisstake version of Disturbed's "Down with the sickness" in the middle. Or the A-team homage with the van....

I was thinking about getting this, the Director's Cut that is. Does anyone know if any shops in town stock it?
