If they're not going to have both versions on the release, maybe a special feature that included the original sequences as a part of a featurette on how and why they did the upgrades would be welcome? I never thought the original effects were that horrible, regardless of what the crew thought, and the scene at the ritual features the coolest onscreen devil in history in my opinion (which I hope they didn't tamper with!). But, like I said, based on the screenshots, the digitization seems more pointless than anything. It doesn't really make the effects worse, but it definitely doesn't improve them. I'd rather have that money spent on a featurette with guys like Kim Newman and Alan Jones talking about the film itself than the money spent on ineffectual and pointless digitization haha
Still glad it's getting an HD release, though.
