A Great Horror Film.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2006)

The Exorcist ****
I let my older sister and her friend watch The Exorcist and they were really freaked out. So did my two younger sisters but they were watching an edited version of the film. I overhead a student talking about The Exorcist and how he was completely shocked. Now this was in 2004. If a horror film can still scare people even though made over thirty years ago, then I think it deserves to be named one of the greatest horror movies of all time. The Exorcist was also an Academy Award disappointment. Why? Maybe they viewed the film as a Vomit Fest. Now I can't deny that people have gotten sick while watching the film, but after the second time, these people also saw how great of a horror film it really is.
The Exorcist- The Version You've Never Seen ***1/2
The Version You've Never Seen is just as slick and terrifying as the original. This version adds ten minutes to the original film. An extended seen at the doctors office and the exorcism, (not the exorcism in general), and the famous spider walk seen. The flaw with this version is the ending. The original ending was such a downer that it worked. This version has a friendship striking up at the end. However it is still a great film.
