I'd probably watch the original first personally. Then if you like the movie check out the extended cut. I always like checking out the extended cuts of movies I really like after seeing the original. Neat to see how the director will have to conflate ideas in the original for whatever reason then see what they really wanted to do in the extended cut. Robert Eggers probably has some interesting things in the extended cut. Gonna have to check that out. I haven't seen an Eggers movie I haven't liked. The guy really understands occult topics and is super creative with how he portrays it in his movies. Huge fan.
I like watching the extended cuts of the movies I love, Colors and Almost Famous come to mind, and while I do enjoy seeing the extra little bits of the story and characters that I dug so much, at the end of the movie I always think the same thing, ehh the directors got it right the first time
I dont think Ive ever seen a directors cut that i liked more than the original
