A very scary film if taken seriously

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2002)

"The Exorcist" is a cult classic of horror cinema. The plot is known by everybody: a girl(Reagan) is acting strange, her attitude has changed drastically, and she's experiencing strange changes in her body. After her mother tried to discover what was her "sickness", she asked help from a priest who was convinced that Reagan needed an exorcism.

When I watched this film in it's re-release in the past year, people laughed when Reagan showed symptons of possession, and when the superb special effects for that time were shown, people laughed their socks off... I can't believe the little criteria that some people have, and it's sad that people that do not appreciate new attempts in horror movies. When it first came out in theaters, back in 1973 it receieved excelent critics, and it was as huge box-office hit. This movie was even nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 1974 -including Best Picture, and Best Director-.

Anyways, if you wanna experience something new, feel the fear for the devil, TAKE SERIOUSLY "The Exorcist" because it shows that the devil is something nobody should play with. Expect a scary film, and great acting.
