Product: Dain Curse [VHS] (1978)
Rating: 2.0
Beware of running time
This review is about the VHS edition of The Dain Curse with "Original Unedited Miniseries" on the case and in the title listed on Amazon. If you really want the complete miniseries, you need to keep looking -- carefully. The running time for this edition is listed on Amazon (as I write) as 360 minutes. That's six hours. A reviewer states that this miniseries runs 4 hours and forty minutes. On the back of the video cassette case, the running time is given as approximately 192 minutes. However, the actual running time of the tape I received (in a case without shrink wrap but with a proper-looking label on the cassette) was a little over two hours. Even at the length stated on the case, this edition cannot be the complete miniseries if the figure of 4h 40m is correct. And there's no telling where the Amazon figure of six hours comes from. My low rating for this item is due to the unsatisfactory length, not the entertainment value of the movie.
