 Mark of the Devil was cut for its initial UK cinema release in 1971, but was  released uncut by Intervision on video in the early 1980s. This version was  withdrawn in 1984, when compulsory video censorship was introduced to the UK,  and it was not until 1993 that Redemption released the film on video again.  Sadly, despite the films age, the British Board of Film Classification still  felt that around 7 cuts, totaling 4 minutes 27 seconds, were necessary for  this release. These cuts entailed the removal of entire scenes, such as the  woman who is branded whilst on a rack, a later sequence when the same poor  individual gets her tongue ripped out, and a scene where Cumberland rapes the  puppeteers wife.
