The 'Burbs [+Extras] WORKPRINT 1989

I have added the EXTRAS included on the IMPORT bluray with the WORKPRINT, as a request for somebody - ENJOY :)I am if not the first one to upload this WORKPRINT, ripped from the import.

I hope everyone will finally get to see & enjoy this classic like I have, in the way it was meant to be seen.



PLEASE SEED as long as possible and LEAVE COMMENTS & FEEDBACK.The British label "Arrow Video" released an amazing Blu-ray with a lot of bonus features, among them something very rare. Director Joe Dante still had a workprint. Digitalized from VHS, the workprint shows "The 'Burbs" in an earlier stage. Though most things are the same, there are many extended or alternate scenes and also a few different details (e.g. Ray has lost his job in the WP which also explains the arguments with Carol) which is really nice to watch. On the other hand, there are things that work much better in the Original Version (e.g. the finale). Furthermore, there are scenes that are rather redundant and cutting them out was the right thing to do. But some scenes would have been a nice addition to the Original Version and it is very interesting to watch them for the first time now.



Compared are the Original Version (BBFC 12 / PG) and the WORKPRINT (both available on the UK Blu-ray by Arrow Video).
