The Version Currently on Shudder is Edited
I was resting and decided to put something on TV before I went back outside to finish mowing. I was going through Shudder and I noticed that they now have Alice, Sweet Alice in their library. I took this as a sign that it must have been recently remastered, as the DVD I have came from the tapes for the 1999 Anchor Bay version. So I put it on and I was correct, because they had restored the original Communion title and the picture looked like it had been cleaned up.
Then I noticed something else. Several parts of this version had been edited. For instance, the stabbing of the aunt has been edited. So have some of the scenes with Alphonsa. They also cut dialogue from the polygraph scene at the police station.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this. I thought it was really odd, considering the content on a lot of shows running on Shudder.
