The Exorcist

After hearing all the hype about this being the scariest movie of all time I thought about checking it out myself. After watching a hour and a half of gut wrentching, eye cringing, mouth dropping horror I have to say one thing; the movie lived up to its reputation. This was a very disgusting and disturbing film at this point in time so I can't imagine what it was like four people in '73! Jason Miller and William Friedkin were great as the two excorcists, and Ellen Burstyn portrayed exactly what she was supposed to: a protective parent who is concerned about her daughters health. Just one question who in the world would let there child play with a oujie board (excuse my spelling) , in front of there face too!! There was a scene in this film (if you've seen the movie then you know which one I'm about to describe) where the mother hears screaming in her daughters room and she runs into the room to see what is going on, to find her daughter stabbing herself with a crucifix she then proceeds to slap her mother and push her face in the girls crotch VERY GRAPHIC!! Overall this film has lived up too be one of the most disturbing and shocking films of all time.

ive never seen this movie.

Maybe during the time it was released. But now, for me anyway, it's relatively tame for the most part compared to other films and I'm not disturbed by demonic possession because I don't believe in it. I respect the film but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would after hearing it's a classic horror and so on.

I prefer the third film actually.

I recommend the German film Requiem:



It's not a horror but it's a more realistic take on demonic possession in the direction of is it possession or is the woman suffering from mental illness. It's based on the real life person Anneliese Michel. A sad story.

The Exorcist is based on a true story too. The Exorcist is one of the best horror films of all time. Excellent film, brilliantly made, acted, written, etc.

Yeah, the Exorcist is a win.

Very loosely.

I thought you were not allowed to see films with strong language...

The end was great actually. It proves that the Devil can beat up Yahweh any day. Hail Satan.

When you are older, see it for yourself and make up your own mind.

Yep, I've watched this one when I was 18. Crept the jeepers out of me.

The Exorcist just isn't scary, at all.

What is your idea of a scary movie, bub?

The Exorcist is scary.

now someone negative rep me.

I played with an Ouija board several times as a kid and I'm fine.

I did too and I think I turned out rather w I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL

Sorry -- my soul's already been swallowed.

I made a nice polished wood board for a friend who wanted one.

they're just toys, and they really don't work. unless you have a little pansy for a kid, let them try it out if they want to.

I tried once but it spelled out **** off, so I didn't bother again, it was so rude to me.

That wasn't very nice.
