The longer version (around 3-1/2 hours, I think) is a much better and cohesive film. The opening is very different and details Gaunt's arrival. This version airs on cable station TBS here in the U.S. occasionally. I think TBS actually owns it, as I've never seen it on any other station. It's a shame. There have been at least two DVD releases of Needful Things here, neither of which include the additional footage.
