This is inferior, let me repeat, completely INFERIOR make to the thatrical. You almost feel bad for George C. Scott (RIP), his "restored" scenes with lousy lighting making him look more like a sad bloodhound who is the lost cousin of the true George C. Scott in the superior original version (The Exorcist III), but you somehow got duped into paying 30$ into watching the lost bloodhound inferior version of this film rather than just re-watching the original..... so you are an idiot for feeling bad for the sad, inferior bloodhound.
Brad Dourif's "restored" scenes are purely laughable. "Father Karras" is not in this version, and whenever the cut scenes come into play, it really throws off the flow this movie is known for, also making it less creepy. They do not mix well into the movie at all.
In conclusion, this "director's cut" is a pathetic, waste of money. You can see why this was not the original release if you bother watching it, so if you are bored enough to waste sometime or for completist' sake, download it or borrow it, do not make the same mistake I did by buying it, and the original is one of my all time favorite films and book.
Examples of of movies that had GOOD directors cuts: Natural Born Killers, Lord of Illusions, Eyes Wide Shut.
