I just watched this fave old horror movie of mine, Blood Harvest, in its DVD incarnation.
Do NOT buy this DVD, unless you can't get this movie elsewhere.
(And, yes, tho IMDB doesn't show it, Amazon is offering a DVD version of Blood Harvest for around $13 as of today, 9-20-03.)
This is edited in AT LEAST two key scenes. First of all, in the famous shower scene, Jill gets forced out of the shower when a "mysterious stranger" turns off the cold water. In my recorded-from-cable VHS version, an additional short scene shows Jill not only jump out, but grab a towel and flash a brief, but lovely, full frontal - and if you're familiar with the movie, you know the character Jill is especially gorgeous.
That's gone from the DVD. It shows the brief, unrevealing dash from the shower, then cut to Jill wearing a robe in the kitchen.
The scene of her friend hung upside down in the barn, stripped to lingerie, then her throat slit: on the DVD version, the portion where the girl's throat is slit, followed by a brief-but-gory squirting blood shot, is gone entirely from the DVD. Only a brief flash of the dead girl is shone.
There's more missing, but I haven't noted everything because of my extreme disappointment, and because I was too ticked not to get this review out and stop some poor soul from buying it.
Worse, the picture quality varies tremendously from the beginning (almost looks 3rd generation videotape), to almost passable high video tape quality. Nothing APPROACHING typical DVD quality, even for old films transferred.
In the credits, it mentions "International Director's Cut", or some such. What baloney. The film looks like religious censors when after it with hedge trimmers.
You've been warned.
Wait 'til late night cable shows it again, and record it on a good new tape or DVD.
This is a ripoff pressing, and I'm one of the suckers. Luckily, it was low price. But I'll continue watching my uncut, nearly as good picture (and warmer colors) VHS tape of 13 years.
This review DEFINITELY refers to the DVD version.

I just saw this film a week ago.
I'd heard after its release that Hanks' performance was being panned by some. I guess after seeing the film, I'm surprised. Hanks seemed wonderfully not-overacting his role, and the rest of the casting was great. The effects were amazing, not overdone yet convincing, such as the insect cloud as described in the book when John finally had to vent what pain he'd taken from someone.
Definitely one of the best book adaptations I've seen in the last 10 years. SPHERE was the other.
