There are 3 versions of the film that have been released in various formats (4x3, Letterbox, Anamorphic, etc). This one is the European release that was not edited by George Romero, but by Dario Argento.
The U.S. theatrical version has a runtime of about 127 minutes.
The extended version, recently released in the 3 disc "Ultimate Edtion" boxset, has a runtime of about 139 minutes. Often referred to as the "Director's Cut", when in fact, the theatrical version is G. Romero's preferred version.
The European version, which this one is, has a runtime of about 118 minutes. This version contains numerous scene extensions, and skips over several scenes from the North American versions of the film. This version also contains additional music from composer Goblin.
So, when NOD says completely uncut, it's not completely true. It has additional material, but also leaves out some material from the U.S. conterpart.
