I discovered “The Exorcist” with “The Version You've Never Seen”. I absolutely loved this film and I bought it on DVD. However, the original theatrical version was nowhere to be found. I was finally able to watch it when the Blu-Ray came out. I first watched the Extented Director's Cut and I was glad to see that they removed two of the Pazuzu flashes because I thought that the movie had too many of them. After that, I watched the original theatrical cut, and wow, it was better than the EDC ! Father Bowdern said exactly why I prefered this cut over the other one. I was glad that I was finally able to watch this version of Friedkin's masterpiece !
