The Exorcist.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2011)

I was very apprehensive about watching this film after it had been labelled 'the scariest film of all time' but it was nowhere near as scary as I thought. It had a good story-line and some good actors, but I thought that the bit at the beginning with the desert? Why did they need that? I just thought it slowed the film down. Yes, Regan was creepy when she was possessed but if you ask me the blood looked really fake and it was obvious what was real and what wasn't. Having said that I know the film was made in the 70's and there wasn't as much effects as there are today but I still thought it had the desired effect. Overall I would say that The Exorcist is a very good film with some good actors and a good story-line. I would rate it 8/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone mature 13+. Sadly though, I wouldn't class it the scariest film of all time.
