The thing isolated becomes incomprehensible
Classic horror films don't age well. They can still be awesome but most folks won't find them as effective as todays horror films.
I wasn't looking to be scared... I love Rosemary's Baby and it's even previous to The Exorcist. I just think is much better done! ButI see what you mean!



Yeah, I think I expressed myself in a wrong way. I meant it must have had a different impact then than now because it was so imitated since 1973 that most of things became common.

There were some scenes where I really loved the atmosphere, the arriving of the priest in the fog is a brilliant scene, but I missed more of that heavy atmosphere. Maybe it wasn't the point but I was expecting that.
Sorry if you thought i was talking about you there, i get what you mean but i just hate that it makes it seem like it should be graded as an old horror movie that wouldn't work now, all i meant was if you dislike the movie say so; don't blame it on its age because it is a little insulting to people like me who love the movie and think it is a great Horror movie or just movie regardless of when it was made. Halloween was made a few years later and noone says that is a decent movie for its time but we have had better Slashers since, The Exorcist is a great movie if you don't like it then fine, but there are alot of Horror movies that are dated alot worse and i'm only thinking of 90s Horrors here

I enjoy old horror probably more than current horror that is cheaply made.

Me too of course.

I hope no one misunderstood what I was trying to say. I wasn't talking about myself but the general audiences of today and I think their senses can become overloaded and their expatiation level raised so high, that when they see something like the Exorcist it doesn't strike the same effect as it did when it first came out. That's neither right or wrong, just the way is.

Myself I prefer psychological classic horror.

Oh, I never intended to say it is a dated movie. I don't believe in quality loss through time... I just understand the importance of this movie at the time it came, and that's a good thing, not a bad one
The things I didn't like in the movie are not date related. As I said, Rosemary's Baby, is in my opinion, a better movie (with a similar structure) and it's from 1968.

And about Halloween... I hated it! (sorry Mofos) - again, not because it's old or dated.

Rosemary's Baby, is awesome.

Halloween... I seen it first run at the theater, I didn't care for it. It's more of a popcorn movie, watched for fun.



Yes 80's horror is cheese..

now late 60's early 70's horror is good

but I do prefer horror from 1900 to 1949



I enjoy The Exorcist way more than Rosemary's Baby tho and in my opinion The Exorcist is more influential than Rosemary's Baby

Youir Top Ten 1900-1901 Horrors?
well I have seen some silent horror films from that early...

like this!




Wanna Date? Got Any Money?
In a genre where it seems like lately at least one in ten titles has "Possession" or "Exorcism" in it I can see how someones opinion of the movie (especially after their first viewing) would be less enthusiastic than someone who saw this originally when this sort of thing wasn't so prominent. Over exposure to story concepts and plot lines ultimately change public opinion of whats scary and whats not, so in today's market a film that was effective 40 years ago isn't as effective today, because the subject matter is better explored in the medium and not so unknown and therefore less spooky.

hey I can see that stuff happening in The Omen... being so devoted to someone to kill yourself for them...

and come on.. the glass window scene could have happened back then...

Don't think people who prefer Rosemarys Baby would actually disagree with that. I'll say that The Exorcist was influential in a bad way though, just about every Demonic Possession film since has been awful.

In non film terms it was a travesty because the amount of interest it drummed up in the paranormal allowed The Warrens to swoop in and exploit everybody.



And Camo... you dont have to be a jerk about it....

I enjoy all the classic "Phantom of the Opera", "Hunchback of Notre Dame" etc from the 1920s....



and I have seen "Haxan", "Faust", "The Phantom Carriage" and "Vampyr".



Well the Wicker Man holds a bigger place in my heart... for the Pagan reasoning.... I truely believe that the early Pagan tribes of Briton and Celtic areas (including France, Spain and Portugal) did human sacrifices.. as well as the Vikings....
