Every bit as scary as the reputation.

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2018)

Long thought of as one of the, if not the scariest film ever William Friedkin's The Exorcist is a scary excursion for two hours. The film's story is rather basic- a girl is possessed by the devil himself but filmmaking is so much more than the story. What works for the Exorcist is some haunting atmosphere, great make-up and fantastic acting especially by young Linda Blair. The theme is excellent and has become very popular and the pacing of the film is good- even though this is a long film.
