Scary? Don't make me LAUGH.

Rating: 1/10 (16 October 2001)

This movie is downright boring and not scary at all. What's the use of the opening sequence when it has nothing to do with the rest of the story except introduce the priest. That is already a waste of time and film.

Secondly I though the Demon would be very powerful and instead, the possessed Regan is easily confined in a room. C'mon you can do better than spit, curse, levitate the bed and the rest of those petty tricks. All the special effect is not disturbing at all, although the neck sequence is fairly amusing. Thirdly, many of the scenes don't fit into the overall plot at all. I can't believe it is still on the Top 250 list. If I have it my way, I'll reclassify this as a soap drama. Truly, The Exorcist didn't stand the test of time.
I whole heartedly recommend other much higher quality horror films like Ringu, The Shining, Alien, and The Thing than this crap. A ZERO out of ten in my book.
