Adapted by William Peter Blatty from his controversial bestseller, this shocking 1973 thriller set an intense and often-copied milestone for screen terror with its unflinching depiction of a young girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil spirit. Jason Miller and Max von Sydow are perfectly cast as the priests who risk their sanity and their lives to administer the rites of demonic exorcism, and Ellen Burstyn plays Blair's mother, who can only stand by in horror as her daughter's body is wracked by satanic disfiguration. One of the most frightening films ever made with a soundtrack that's guaranteed to curl your blood, The Exorcist was mysteriously plagued by troubles during production, and the years have not diminished its capacity to disturb even the most stoical viewers. Don't say you weren't warned! --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - THE EXORCIST " THE VERSION NEVER SEEN BEFORE"VIDEO CASSETEE, " THE EXORCIST" THE VERSION NEVER SEEN BEFORE" VERY REALISTIC, FIRST MOVIE OF IT'S TIME, MOST DISTURBING, AND VERY GRAPHIC LANGUAGE. NO OTHER HORROR MOVIE COMPARES, THAT IS, IF YOU COULD KEEP FROM TURNING AWAY! IT WILL KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT WONDERING COULD THIS EVER HAPPEN TO ME? Rating: - Classic fearWant some fear? This is the movie for you. The music will haunt you for the rest of your life. Rating: - One of the best horror fims of all time.Like many of you out there I grew up in a large Catholic family. And I, like many of you had older siblings who were only too happy to show me this when I was nine or ten years old. LOL. I still have nightmares. I'm kidding, but at the age of ten, it left an impression. The movie itself? Brilliant, shocking, it's withstood the test of time and deserves its place in Hollyweird history. The shocking element is also its biggest downfall. Between the spinning ... Read More Rating: - ThrillsAll time great thriller. I can watch over and over and still get goosebumps. One thing, did not like the actress who played the mother, they could have got someone better. Max Von Sydow a favorite of mine. See him in "The Night Visitor". The locations in Exorcist are great. Maybe silly but would like to visit the house. This movie a milestone for others to try and copy aspects of it. Never will go out of date. Rating:  - Longer, but not betterThe Exorcist - The Version You've Never Seen is also the version you probably shouldn't have, adding almost nothing to a fine original but running time, some clumsy additional `subliminal' images digitally grafted on with all the subtlety of a 1980s New Romantic music video and a poor new sound mix that adds music cues and sound effects far less effective than the original mix. Most of the restored footage is taken up by an extended additional medical tests sequence that feels a little out of place ... Read More |
