It is a very scary, controversial movie, and, quite frankly governments in some countries considered it much too graphic, and they thought it might be too much for the general public. When they first showed it in theaters in 1973, people were throwing up and running out of the movie theater. It was banned in Finland, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, and a couple others, I think. It is really a very disturbing move, and it is not for the faint-hearted, but it's also a really great movie, and I love it. But a lot of people really can't handle some of the things showed in this movie. Hope this helps. =)
