According to director Jamie Blanks a lot of the violent scenes were trimmed down. This was not done to satisfy the MPAA (the original cut was rated "R"). Instead Warner Bros. thought that due to the political climate the amount of violence as shown in the original version was not tolerable at the time.
There is a scene in a TV spot where Kate and Adam are in the bar and she says: "why am i surrounded by all this craziness"; then Adam says "it's Valentine's day people get lonely and start acting strange"; then she says "you're not acting strange".
A scene where Dorothy is attacked by the killer and dressed as the Cherub was cut.
Shelley's death was trimmed heavily. Originally, her neck actually split open and spewed blood. Now it is only implied. Ruthie's death originally contained blood flowing out into the shape of a heart. This was digitally "cleaned up" later on to decrease impact.
The death of Kate's neighbor Gary, was trimmed. He was originally hit with the iron 11 times, instead of the 2 shown in the film.
Dorothy's stepmother, Kim Wheeler (Benita Ha), is murdered by the cherub. After Paige is electrocuted in the jacuzzi, her skin begins to melt.
Deleted scene: After Kate finds the mask in the elevator, and talks to Gary, she goes back inside her apartment. Then, she looks inside her closet and realizes that most of her outfits are missing.
Another deleted scene was right after Shelly's funeral. All the girl's are on top of a building having drinks and talking about their childhood with Shelly.
