The Butterfly Effect - Hybrid Cut (2004) 4K AI Upscale (48.2GB)

-Director's Cut With Theatrical Ending-


This custom version has all the extended and added scenes from the director's cut but I've swapped the ending with the theatrical version instead. It hasn't been done before, so there are no subtitles or alternate audios that will match. This hybrid cut is actually longer than the director's cut version by 27 seconds.
