I saw this again last night and I realize now (even in the cut version I have: approximately 85 minutes) why the old South African censor board banned it and why it remained banned for many years. Christians versus pagans, druids and fertility rites on a remote Scottish island, Edward Woodward screaming ""They're naked!" and the most frightening thing of all: Sir Christopher Lee in a fright wig.

I can easily see how it would offend some people but I for one wouldn't mind Britt Ekland dancing kaalgat [naked] in the room next to me.  :smile:
