Comparison between the cut American VHS by United Home Video (PG Rated) and the uncut American Blu-ray Disc by Blue Underground (not rated).
Argento's debut film and first part of his "animal trilogy" was released in a slightly cut "PG version" on VHS in the USA. It's possible that this version is equal to the American theatrical version, but this can't be assured 100%. 5 cuts on the VHS (among them 3 cuts due to violence) = 13.34 sec. 1 Logo on the VHS 1 longer black screen on the VHS Running time difference: 3.07 sec. Short frame cuts add up to 2 seconds, but they're not mentioned in the report. The running time information refers to the Blu-ray Disc. Time index: US Blu-ray Disc
0:00-0:02 The logo of UMC Pictures is displayed at the beginning of the US VHS. The BD has a black screen of ca. 2 seconds at the beginning; the actual movie begins afterwards. +9.52 sec.
