False legend?

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2009)

It's not worth a view, nowadays, and everyone calls it's a legendary horror film, much like The Shining (1980). I'm sorry folks, the truth is, back in the 70s and 80s, a slow-paced movie was common. Nowadays, we need shock, scares and fast-moving horror films with tender moments now and then.
This film goes very slow and while back in the day, I got scared psychologically, this movie doesn't give me the chills one bit. It's a false legend because it's nothing special. In fact, is builds no suspense as the cast is short-list and the best part is the end. It doesn't come quick enough and feels even longer with all the anticipation they try to build up.
Doctors back in the time it's set seemed to be brain-dead and unbelievable. I can't believe I sat through this movie, once again, thinking it was terrifying when all it was, was a bunch of ADR's of someone doing dark and disturbing voice-overs to make the "possessed" seem scary.
No cheap tactics, no scares at all, just a bunch of profanities and some make-up and you got The Exorcist. I wonder how this movie is so praised when it took no talent to make it. Pass!
