Not for the faint hearted

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2003)

This is still a scary film today. Some of the effects look a bit dated, but the style of the photography gives it a documentary feel. I suspect the Blair Witch Project borrowed some of it's ideas from the Exorcist. As with most great horror films the real fear comes in the things that we don't see. Regan is a normal child until being possessed and undergoes all manner of treatment from the normal medical community. Eventually it is decided that the Catholic church needs to be brought in to complete the exorcism. Definitely not a film to watch on your own in the dark.
