What was all the fuss about?

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 1999)

On finally watching The Exorcist, it left me wondering just why the hell the film was banned on video in Britain. It is extremely tame compared to many films and so it is good to see the film being actually available (A Clockwork Orange, please take note). The film itself seems to have been butchered in the editing room and would benefit with previously cut footage being restored for later prints, thus extending the viewing time and making the film into a classic, rather than the flawed masterpiece it currently is.
