Scariest Horror Film Ever Made.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2013)

William Peter Blatty's disturbing novel is graphically brought to life by director William Friedkin in this terrifying film about young woman Regan Macneil(played superbly by Linda Blair) who gradually becomes possessed by an evil demon bent on destruction, and defiance of God. Jason Miller and Max Von Sydow play the two priests called on by the church to repel the demon, but both men have inner demons of their own, which the possessed Regan uses to taunt and kill them. Ellyn Burstyn plays her mother, who is in way over her head. Lee J. Cobb rounds out the cast as an investigating police detective.
Disturbing, no holds barred thriller goes right for the viewers throat, and never lets go, resulting in arguably the most frightening film ever made, further helped by the unsettling and unforgettable "Tubular Bells" music store. Whole cast is superb, script first-rate. Though undeniably shocking and profane, it serves a purpose dramatically, and still has the power to move the viewer.
