A real one-off

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 1999)

This is a truly classic film, make no mistake about it. No other film generates the same malevolent air, although many have tried.
Although it's been reported that audiences laughed at certain scenes during The Exorcist's recent UK cinema re-release, there are still several spine-chilling moments, and the general sadistic tone of the film's second half throws up some unforgettably repulsive set pieces. This is not a film that you'll want your children to see.
