why is this rated so good ???

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2009)

i don't see the big hype about this film. well i can certainly see this must of scared people to death in the 1970's. its not good though, its a bit sickening but thats about it.
there's one or two good things about it and that is obviously that unforgettable musical score and Linda Blair's role as the young girl who is possessed by the devil.
i just cant rate it any higher than four because i think this film is less than average. its way too over rated and doesn't deserve all the critic compliments. id advise anyone who hasn't watched this to go and watch it because its just one of them films everyone has to watch sometime in there lives....... 4/10......j.d Seaton
