Retitling films is something that happens quite frequently. |

Netflix is listing High Tension as having an R rating and Switchblade Romance as being unreleased and not rated.
According to Amazon, the unrated version is listed as being the directors cut. |

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have two different listings for Donnie Darko and the Donnie Darko director's cut, like Netflix does. But thanks for checking Amazon, I didn't think of that. |
