Hi gang, I'm a long-time HTF lurker who has finally joined up.
As far as the general getting to know you type stuff, I'm married with child (one daughter) and live in the Chicagoland area. I'm a big fan of horror films of any type, I work in education and co-host an internet radio program...
My understanding is that the gore cut was just a few frames. Either way, I'm certain that an unrated version will make it's way out.
Personally, I'm glad to see a big studio horror film that is willing to actually horrify the audience. I think we've been lacking that lately.
