i saw it in a theater in 1981 for the first time , and 4 more times until today.it s a shame that it is listed so lower than that it deserves on IMBD top 250.I'm not raised as a Catholic but i still love the film.it s about good and evil,limits of modern medical studies , belief...the fact that is based on an almost-real story( yes this things can happen.i am a muslim and every muslim knows -or u say believes- that there are creatures other than human called "cin". they can do such things )makes the movie belivable.stunning performance from ellen burstyn while she portraying a helpless mother who loves her daughter.forget about the special effects just follow the story.one of rare horror movies that dont miss the emotions.excellent directing givin the movie time to take u inside the story.disturbing but impressing dialogues.for the last words i m also choosing the most familiar phrase( or praise) related to exorcist BEST HORROR MOVÝE EVER MADE. 10 OUT OF 10
