Real, True Horror

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2005)

If you don't know by now what The Exorcist is all about, please skip to another review because this one isn't going to give you a synopsis nor is it going to speak of great performances.
What I will share with you is how utterly scary this movie is. Teenagers and others who might think they are immune to this film because they have seen "Bloody Ax Murders Who Know What Jason Did Last Summer" type horror movies should not dismiss this as just another horror flick. To this day, I occasionally have nightmares of Linda Blair's possessed face while "Tubular Bells" chimes in the background. It's a nightmare that I am always grateful to wake from.
I know that I could not even in broad daylight watch this movie without shielding my eyes or muting the sound of the demon as he speaks through the 12 year old girl with eyes that are the windows of hell.
If I had it to do over again, I probably would never have watched this film. It honestly is terrifying and I've never seen anthing that has come close.
