- The film was slightly cut when first released back in 1975. The recent reissue had almost 1 minute removed. Australian release was uncut
- In 1975 the British Board of Film Censors granted "Expose" an X certificate with cuts for theatrical release with around 3 minutes of heavy edits to all the sex scenes and shots of bloody stabbings. Intervision Home Video issued the film on video a few times, the first being in 1979. Although some tapes of "Expose" were preceded with the BBFC's X certificate, the film was in fact uncut (it is worth noting that Intervision also apparently released it under the alternative title "The House on Straw Hill"). During the video nasty hysteria, "Expose" was listed as number 39 on the Department of Public Prosecutions' list and banned. Odyssey reissued the film on video in 1995 with 51 secs of BBFC cuts to a gunpoint rape scene and a shower murder, and it is this version that was released on DVD in 2002. The 2006 Village Entertainment DVD featured the same cut print.
- The current UK version - cut by 51s to remove most of Linda's rape by the youths, and all of Suzanne's death (as it shows lots of blood on her breasts and blood running past her vagina) has been shown on the UK satellite channels 'Zone Horror' and 'Bravo', but under the title 'The House on Straw Hill'.
- For the U.S. release, the following scenes were cut or shortened to earn an MPAA rating of "R" rather than an "X":
- The first sex scene between Linda and Paul was slightly cut.
- The sex encounter between Paul and Linda at Big Youth's gunpoint was originally more graphic.
- Some shots were cut from the abberrant sex scene between Paul and Suzanne.
- Suzanne's death was slightly trimmed of some bloodflow.
