Its been ages since I've seen that film but I don't remember 'a trip to Stonehenge' was this restored in the version you watched.

But you're 100% correct - the film is a master piece. I really must buy it on DVD. It one of the few times where a film is better than the source material (though I love the James story too).

I know Tourneur really didn't want the demon seen but I actually liked it and its design. The still of the demons face has really become a horror icon.

The version I watched was 85 minutes long. No trip to Stonehenge and no trip to the farm.
I like the demon as they show it from afar- all firey and smoking... but I have to admit the close-up is a bit cheesey. I'd love to see it as Tournier wanted it. Like The Haunting, the imagination could do wonders.
