What's all the hype!

I watched "Exorcist" recently and was surprised by the fact that it was not as scary as I imagined it to be.
I think the "Halloween" series, and "Amityville" were much scarier. Perhaps it helps if you have had more of a Christian upbringing, which I didn't. In fact I was more worried about having it confiscated in Heathrow airport after buying it in New York. As a film it is very good but not the sort of film that people of may age (20) have been brought up on. We're from a generation that are used to Friday the 13th etc... Obviously the Exorcist is infinitely better than that, it's just totally different. Anyway, to each his own I suppose, but I've definitely seen better and scarier for SURE.
