Brief Review Of Friday The 13th Uncut (Picture appearence mainly)
Okay, so my girlfriend & I got around to watching this. Let me state first, I didn't care for the movie. I didn't think it was scray or anything..but aside from that, my girlfriend liked the added (uncut) scenes. I believe there were only about 5 scences added..but I could be wrong as I fell asleep from boredom of the movie.
The picture quality was a C+ at best. I didn't notice much grain, but there was plenty of speckles to be seen throughout the movie. One "really bad" picture moment came during a bathroom scene. You could clearly see a black line from top to bottom on the left hand side of the screen appear for about 5-7 seconds. Soon after that, the disc skipped about 1 second ahead (to I believe, Kevin Bacon laying on the bed) and continued error free.
If I had the choice, I would pass on it for disc quality alone.
The sound was 5.1 but you would really notice it. Main sound came from the front & center speakers. I also didn't notice much bass at all (if any).
I am unsure if others experinced the same thing as I did. It is possible that the one skipping issue was just a small glitch on my disc.
I'll see if I can get some screen shots so I can ruin the fun!

Damn those Reg 3s and their disk skipping behaviour 
I used to own the Reg 1 and was always really pleased with the quality of that, considering the age and budget of the movie. This one sounds worse. Have you been able to compare your Reg 3 with the Reg 1, Bill?
