Realistic horror is the most frightening!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2000)

I absolutely loved this movie. I own a copy of the special edition which includes trailers and "The Fear of God: The Making of The Exorcist". I have to admit that I don't watch the movie very often because of it's length and simply because it scares the hell out of me (literally). You know that a horror movie is classic when it continues to astound and horrify you. The special effects are excellent and so is the script--though I've yet to completely understand the long, conversational, non-dramatic scenes. Because movies 30 years ago were not all necessarily that Hollywood extravaganza-oriented, The Exorcist was definitely of-it's-time and nothing less than a masterpiece.
