The 1080p YouTube video is fine quality, but only 68 minutes long. The full-length version below is 96 minutes!

Ah that faith and family cut! I remember having to debate some folks on my tracker that there was a longer version.

What, they did not believe IMDB which is never wrong?
I have seen that particular company/channel/whatever edit some other movies but never so radically. I have not seen either verison but for goodness sakes it has Alan Thicke in it, so how hardcore can it possibly be??

IMDb is actually wrong quite a lot of the time
Also wow, 96 down to 68 minutes is A LOT
That's almost 30 minutes of missing scenes

If I remember correctly, they removed the entire beginning of the movie. Can't show kids being bullied at school to Christians I suppose.

I was stunned by the beginning of the short version
Spoiler:
in the woods with a bear after a plane crash. What the heck is going on? How did they get here? Is this going to be followed by a flashback to the beginning to explain it? Maybe the short version skips all the boring setup and gets right to the main action.
I only scrolled through footage quickly so maybe I am misrepresenting things, but in the long version I remember the parents angrily arguing in front of their kids. Admittedly they were not exactly modeling good parenting. Jeez you two, send the kids outside to play first, and THEN start fighting!
