Yeah, apparently the cut version was submitted to the BBFC. The uncut version played in the US, if you search "the happening red band trailer" on Youtube you'll see very fast glimpses of **SPOILERS** the hair pin in the throat, the man being run over by the lawnmower and the lions tearing the man's arms off.
I presume this version will turn up over here on a "what you couldn't see in the cinemas" version, which is ridiculous considering home video versions of films have always been more likely to be censored than cinema releases. Still, who cares, The Happening was complete and total bollocks.
