I watched the Director’s Cut whilst on holiday, the first time I had seen it for many years, and what struck me most in watching it this time was the priestly side – the way that the Eucharist is celebrated, and the meaning (or lack of meaning) that this had for Fr Kerras, and the way that this fore-shadows what happens to him.

Once past the schlock, an amazing film. Not sure I would go so far as Mark Kermode in claiming it as the best film of all time – not by some measure – but it is surely one of the best horror films of all time, despite the copious quantities of pea soup.

Very satisfying. I think I’m going to obtain my own permanent copy, not least so that I can listen to the Director’s Commentary.
