That fucking blows! I just rented it today, at fucking Blockbuster.

Ever since I was a youngster I hated B-Buster for refusing to carry unrated horror films. Except, of course, Evil Dead 1 and 2, since they were two of the highest rented horror flicks. I supported as many indie rental shops as possible, until it became near impossible to find one remotely near me. Now they're at it, again? Remember that stupid "exclusive" version of Requiem For A Dream? What a bunch of fucking go-tards. Fuck them up their fucking asses.

No wonder Blockbuster isn't doing too well these days.

After reading this, I'm so glad I bought it instead of going to rent it at Blockbuster. The first thing I did when I got home was watch this movie...and I've got to say...it is the most nasty, disturbing, maliciously awesome movie.

see, this is why i deal with netflix. i've never understood what gave Blockbusters the right to change someones product. my best guess for the interference is because a baby's involved.this film can't possibly be any more violent than the SAW films.typical of american cinema though. it's alright to show shit blowing up or a woman getting her breast chopped off but show a child in peril or a penis and people lose their fucking minds.

I worked at a video store for about 12 years. It has always been a well known "secret" that Blockbuster edits DVD's.

BTW i haven't walked into a Blockbuster in 4 years...so fuck'um.

No it can't be. Not blockbuster. NOOOOO... .WHO FUCKIN CARES... I will get it from netflix its already on my Q it better be bloody and disturing as all helll or else I will be piss at all you for saying it was...

I hope everyone here does what I did. I walked into blockbuster to rent the film, and saw it was rated R, and walked out, empty handed. Drove over to walmart and just baught the movie. If you dont want to buy it, download it. NOT renting the edited blockbuster crap will hopefully send Dimension the message.

I agree with Chococat. That's what i have been saying for years on my myspace. No one should even bother renting any of blockbuster's shitty edited PG-13 or R Rated horror movies when they are supposed to be NC-17 or Unrated. I put Inside on my netflix queue. screw blockbuster. they r all a bunch of idiots. go check my myspace out...i even have the title of my page about being anti blockbuster haha.

as a former Blockbuster employee I would just like to say fuck them. Blockbuster is a terrible, horrible company that doesn't give two shits about its employees or customers and that sort of behavior should not be endorsed nor tolerated. I urge everyone to not support Blockbuster with any sort of business. [/rant]

oh, I forgot to mention how fucking amazing Inside is. I bought it on Tuesday and have already watched it three times. It is well worth the money.

I rented it before I had even known what I did. I was pissed, and immediately went and bought the DVD. So I guess I fell into their marketing without even realizing it. Bummer.

I don't rent movies. I buy them. Solves the problem relatively well, I'd say.

This is complete and total bullshit. Unfortunately with the "normal" renters out there Blockbuster will ptrobably still make their money from it. Inside is one of the best and most brutal straight out horror flicks I've seen in a looong time and it deserves to be seen in it's uncut glory. That really says something about Blockbuster when even Wal-Mart (who is notorious for edited CDs) carries the unrated version...

Blockbuster can blow me. Oh, by the way, there is a article in the new Entertainment Weekly about Sony Screen Gems and the PG-13 bullshit they put out. The Stepfather remake will be PG-13 as well as a remake of Fright Night, and they want to do a PG-13 remake of fucking HELL NIGHT. We horror fans are screwed!!!!

I already knew Blockbuster would only carry the Rated version of "Inside". What is even more enraging is that Blockbuster has been carrying Unrated titles for a few years now, but for some reason only carries the rated version of Inside. Other Dimension Extreme movies like "Storm Warning" and "Automation Transfuison" were carried by Blockbuster Unrated. (but those two movies pail in comparison to Inside.) I also noticed a few months back that Blockbuster also only carried the Dimension Extreme release of the "Broken." Blockbuster is obviously singling out movies or something.

Damn, I almost bought the fucker there. Thank you Wallyworld...you commie, slave driving bastards!

Thanks for the heads-up. I just reactivated my Netflix subscription. Death to Blockbuster!

NETFLIX #1!!! Anyways, this film to be bought NOT rented!

Blockbuster should be shut down. They should be ashamed!!!!!

I work at Blockbuster and I did not know that they did that. It just makes me wonder what other shit they have done to other movies. The good thing is though is I recieved a free Cloverfield Slusho shirt to celebrate Cloverfield getting released, but thats it. This does not suprise me, they are always finding ways to screw the customer over.

Aslo Blockbuster is a "Christian" based company. That might be part of the reason, they do not want anything to extreme. Yet they do carry a lot of unrated horror films now. Mostly everything that comes out at my store is unrated, unless it has the dual option or do not have an unrated edition.

I saw "Requiem for a Dream" in the theater, and was about to purchase a used VHS copy of the movie at Blockbuster a few months later, but when I got to the counter, I realized I was holding the "R-rated" cut of the film. I told the Blockbuster employee I didn't want the film because it was an edited version. She said, "They didn't edit out anything important, just some sex and violence at the end." No, you dense Blockbuster bitch, they cut out the scene where Jennifer Connelly rocks a double-ended dildo. That's important shit. I chucked a lit molotov cocktail through their front window later that night.

Evil Bastards

It's not Blockbuster's fault that you absolutely loved one of the most volatile and disgusting films ever made overseas. Blockbuster has to promote this movie in their stores and they didn't want to promote something that was that horrific, so they cut as much of it as they can. Sorry.

how long is the blockbuster version? I bought the film at best buy and its 82 minutes long. it says unrated, that's the real version correct?

DUMB.

It sucks because in my area I have no choice but to rent at Blockbuster. Just over 4 years ago before our TWO new Blockbusters opened in the city we had 4 other mom and pop video stores and the last one just went out of business a few months ago. Now I have no choice if I want to rent but to pay $6 for the damn movie and then get edited versions of them. Sucks what big corporations can do to a small town and its busineses and the consumers wallet.

If you notice, on the little ad on the site, when it says "Rent at Blockbuster," it shows a rated version of the cover. It's still stupid that they censor a great looking movie.

Why don't they just put a severe warning sticker and let people make up their own minds. Them cutting it should be illegal.

just wondering...if i bought it on dvd at best buy is my copy censored???? I haven't seen the original so i don't know? Also what is the original time and the cut time. I remember buying a copy of Halloween rated R and getting the tv version for 20 bucks!!!!! I wonder what they'll do to Frontiers??

I got it at best buy and its def not the censored version... And blockbuster is only going to be around for maybe another year tops before NETFLIX takes over the world. Why drive to blockbuster when you can have it delivered...

I've not seen the movie... but I've worked at 2 video stores: I worked at Hollywood Video for 2 and 1/2 years... and I worked at Blockbuster for about 8 months... kinda tells you which is the better company. There are pros and cons at each store, but out of the both that I worked at, Blockbuster Video ARE the biggest nazi's around... they will screw you over any possible way they can.

you guys are overreacting... they are not promoting the unrated version of the film. its not like they edited themselves, they are simply NOT renting the unrated version. There's a big difference. They did the same thing with Hatchet.

JGrayland if you go to blockbuster.com they definitely show it as being UNRATED. I almost joined those jackoffs to rent uncut horror.

that is FUCKED UP FUCK BLOCKBUSTER

Yeah BC you're wrong AND it's a HIGE deal. They're hiding the fact that they've censored the film from viewers and it makes people like me look like an idiot for loving the film. Had I seen Inside without ANY of the blood it would be just OK. But you like Armageddon (wink)...

Blockbuster.com IS renting the unrated cut, the stores aren't. I just checked myself. The one in the store has an R rating plainly displayed, a listed running time of 75 minutes, and does NOT say UNRATED or anything similar on the package. They aren't doing anything wrong. The stores ALWAYS carry the most "wide appeal" version of the DVD release if the studio decides to make both. The stores don't rent the double disc versions of a lot of movies either, but you can still rent them from the online component. They are two separate things. This is nothing new, I don't know why everyone's making a big stink about it. Like I said, they didn't carry the unrated Hatchet either, but you can rent it unrated from bb.com. You don't think maybe at some point that Dimension was toying with the idea of a theatrical release and put together an R rated cut? They had to go through the trouble of submitting it to the MPAA for a rating, they're going to do SOMETHING with the R version. Once Blockbuster's exclusive window runs out for Dimension releases, you'll probably see it in more places. And for the record, they rent out plenty of unrated horror movies in the store - when the studio doesn't give them an R rated cut. The store version of Catacombs is unrated, for example. Long story short - they didn't CENSOR a goddamn thing. Dimension cut the film to please everyone, and since they have an exclusive (and limited time) STORE RENTAL deal with Blockbuster, the only place to find it (for now) is Blockbuster. Not the same thing at all.

I understand what you are saying, but what doesn't make sense is that Blockbuster stores are serving no real purpose by having an R-rated edition. They cannot rent it to anyone under 17 (just like the unrated version). It would make more sense when a PG-13 flick comes out in an unrated form that they would carry the PG-13 version so kids could rent it with less flack or having mom or dad sign for them. They would get more rental turns.

Yeah, I don't understand it either, but to cry censorship i think is a bit unfair. They're simply being lame, lol.

If this film is any good, an R rated version versus the Unrated Cut should not matter. I didn't watch the theatrical version of The Hills Have Eyes (remake) and have a reaction that was vastly different to the Unrated Edition. There was just more gore to enjoy in the Unrated edition. Why are people going to Blockbuster anyway? They're going through their death rattle - let them die in peace.

Just a quick update. I found this article on aol.com and supposedly the Blockbuster online is the R version. http://www.cinematical.com/2008/04/19/r-rated-inside-stor y-thanks-blockbuster-and-dimension-extrem/

caustic I personally think that the way a film is edited can drastically change the whole meaning and tone of a film (not necessarily all films, but a vast majority). Look at Terry Gilliam's "Brazil".

I've noticed this too. The film entitled "Descent" with Rosario Dawson was released to theatres with an NC17 tag and so was "Last, Caution" but at Blockbuster, "Descent" was rated R and "Lust Caution" proudly said it was "the R-rated version not seen in theatres" trying to convince buyers that it was extended when it was really cut down. I love Blockbuster and have become close friends with alot of people who work there but I refuse to rent horror films there anymore. This is RIDICULOUS!

Interesting to consider this from Dimension's perspective. You think they care? Judging from the comments on this board, I think they'd be fine with it. Consider that serveral posters here have revolted against BB by going out and BUYING the movie instead. Thats probably music to Dimension's ears. Fuck Blockbuster just the same, tho.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone since Blockbuster has been editing their rentals since day one of their entry into the biz. Sure it's ridiculous and treats the American public like we are ALL children (not just our politicians). What you can do is, don't support a place like BB and rent either from a different local business or open one of them DVD by mail do-hickies...screw BB and it's fascist politics.

You are right, I remeber a long time ago, they had the power to get Micheal Sovi's "the Church" edited, and that was the only version available everywhere!

FUCK BLOCKBUSTER FOR THIS ps. this movie fucking rocks

"Total Access" my ass!!!

Geez, who really cares? Like Im worried about some direct to video garbage anyway. Wha wha, blockbuster censored the movie, get over it. BFD. Find something worth complaining about. Shit.

Hey dead, do you even realize how many (if you even really love horror)movies that are really good get regalated to "direct to video garbage"? Did you see Wrong Turn 2"? Go pay 10 dollars to see the Prom Night remake and we will watch shit that we feel doesn't compromise...yes, we will bitch, just because the state of horror today (especially at the theatre) sucks.

...or go watch "Napolean Dynamite" bitch...

...Just because AVP: Requiem was released in 2000+ theatres on Christmas Day makes it a better movie than "direct to video garbage like Inside".

Sony Screen Gems remakes= Prom Night...Fright Night...Stepfather...Fright Night, Hell Night (huh?)...are all gonna be PG-13 because the protagonists are under the age of 17...Clint Culpepper, head of Sony Screen Gems, its in the new EW...sorry to be a douche, but that is insulting...

...Michael Bay might suck (he does, I was an extra on 2 of his sets), but at least his remakes (shitty or not) are uncompromising R's.

=sorry, Micael Bay=Platinum Dunes

FUCK BLOCKBUSTER I WOULD RATHER POUND MY BALLS FLAT WITH A HAMMER THAN SUPPORT ANY COMPANY THAT CHOPS UP HORROR MOVIES, I MEAN COME ON WHO HONESTLY RENTS A HORROR MOVIE THEN GETS PISSED THAT ITS BLOODY AND FUCKED UP IF YOUR THAT KIND OF PERSON THEN YOU SHOULD BE KICKIN IT IN THE DISNEY SECTION KNOW WHAT I MEAN

ps dead factory your a fucking idiot how can u be into horror movies and not be into anything direct to video thats were most of the best horror comes out on

YES!! I'll U R right!!!

You guys could buy, download, or rent this movie somewhere else. With the way a lot of you are complaining, you'd think you had no other options available to you. This is hardly an act of censorship. Go get lives and find something else to bitch about. By the way, Ripvanryan, you're hot.

I just bought the movie last night, and of course watched it right away...And I must say, I couldent even imagine not seeing the movie whole. This was the first I heard of it today, and also as a former employee of Blockbuster, I fully agree this is total, and utter bullshit. Blockbuster needs to wake the fuck up, and realize that if they keep trying to shield sociecty from whatever they feel is "bad" or "in poor taste" they will keep loosing they're customers. They've almost gone bankrupt before beacuse of they're bad marketing decisons...Don't think it might happen again?

this movie was fucking sick as hell! i loved every fucking second.. thatnks best buy... for $15 i was able to almost puke from a movie (first for me; except for 2 girls 1 cup, that made me puke)

I was about to go down to blockbuster and pick this up.

Blockbuster did not censor the damned movie! They bought it from the studio in that format. I have seen the rated and unrated versions for sale and big deal if Blockbuster decided to carry the R rated version. They carry many unrated versions of Horror movies. Ugh, you people are a trip.

wow what about of idiots you guys are. Blockbuster nor any other rental place or store has the rights to edit movies. blockbuster only has the rated version.

We get that they didn't censor the damn movie!!! But go to Blockbuster.com; they are advertising the uncut version and aparently it is the R-version. It's deceptive.

..Oh and by the way se7en, they did have the power to years back to have Lucio Fulci's "The Devils Honey" and Micheal Soavi's "The Church" cut by threatening to not carry it in their stores. The cut versions (Blockbuster mandated the cuts) were the only versions available until the late 90's.

dude seriously, this movie, omg, im a gore-hound, but jesus man, the ending, im not gonna let my wife watch this

Well maybe they are renting out the unrated version online, and only carrying the rated version in the stores.....and no, I doubt that many get that they didn't censor the movie, or there would be so many fucking complaints from a bunch of idiots who cry wolf, especially when started by MR. D. who is the biggest goat herder I have ever seen on here.

Well kids, at least in this day and age we've got some options. Back in the '80s, we were flat-out fucked when footage got cut. There's dozens of lesser horror films from that period that may never see the uncut light of day, like Dead Heat. But these days it's simple: go out and get the unrated cut, whatever way you can. If it means skipping Blockbuster and buying the film or procuring it by, ahem, other means, then go for it! It is disapointing, though. I imagined Mr. and Mrs. Middle America renting Inside in its uncut form, thinking they were in for an evening of Saw-esque entertainment.

WE DON'T GET THIS GOD DAMN MOVIE IN CANADA TILL MAY AND IT'S FUCKING CENSORED!!!!!>??????? Fuck blockbuster. That's it! Internet piracy reigns supreme. How are they trying to tell us not to steal when they only want to sell us a watered down version of the film. FUCK THAT. SAVE THAT SHIT FOR TV!

I purchased my own copy of the "unrated" version. I watched it immediately..it was great! I went on on to tell eveyone about how brutal it was. The filmakers left nothing to the imagination! I'm an old hardcore horror fan and I've seen everything.but this one took the prize..until Blockbuster got done doing it's own hackjob! Ruined the move completely making it as lackluster as any average slasher flick. Look for the unrated version. It's worth the effort!

in response to Se7enwolf- let me spell it out for you. Dimension Extreme has a deal with Blockbuster. The deal with Blockbuster probably includes an agreement that they have to cut their horror films to an acceptable "R" rating. So no, I don't think there is a little man in the back at Blockbuster splicing films. Obviously the studio did the editing. Also, the only place you can find an "R" rated version of this film is at Blockbuster. If you check the Dimension Extreme website you will see that it is only available in an "unrated" cut everywhere other than Blockbuster.

Blockbuster , although fucking evil, has not censored a damned thing.They simply chose, for some idiotic reason ,probably based in religion, to carry the rated version of Inside, thats it.Every other Dimension Extreme release is unrated.

ill rent it at hastings =D

They have to get movies that appeal to the general public. In towns, like mine, a lot of people will not rent unrated horror films. Only the extreme horror fans will and they are hard to come by here. Most consumers will rent "R" rated films. So when Blockbuster is buying the movies to rent out why would they buy the unrated edition that will only rent out to horror fans or the accidental couple who watch and demand their money back. It just does not make sense, sorry if it pisses you off. They want to make money it all comes down to that.

Yeah, you have to look at the fine-print when renting from Blockbuster. I mean c'mon, they're the "McDonalds" of home video, of course they would only carry the most safest version available or none at all. I think I remember them carrying an R-rated version of "Saw IV" too, and that version was pretty hard to find in stores, but Blockbuster probably made it happen. Was anybody surprised that "Inside" was rented in BB in the first place?!!? Don't be shocked when this happens, just blame yourself for not checking the rating & runtime on the box before you plunk out that ridiculous $5 rental fee for 2 1/2 days. May NetFlix eventually piss on their graves.

so has anyone seen both versions? i'm curious what was cut.

I'm trying to figure out what you all are talking about. I work at Blockbuster(which I am NOT proud of)and all our copies say UNRATED. I even joined this site just to post this. I'm all for Bashing Blockbuster, but you are bashing for a non existent reason...most of the horror movies we get now are all UNRATED....and it's the rental copies.

Boy do I have egg on my face...when I got to work I looked at the INSIDE box and it was rated R! I could have sworn I saw that Unrated label on the front. It makes no sense since it's a Blockbuster exclusive, then why would they censor it?! Sorry to everyone....

just to make sure, Netflix has the Uncut version, correct?
