Should not have bothered the second time round

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 1998)

I first saw this movie when I was about 8-9 years old and thought it was the creepiest thing ever back then.
Well I have always thought that you need to see a good movie twice in order to really appreciate it and that is what I attempted to do with "The Exorcist". Ten years after my first viewing I had forgotten why it had scared me so much.
Well, I shouldn't have bothered. Granted, now I am 18 and not quite as easily scared, but really I have to say that I struggled to keep my eyes open. I guess some of the scenes were "powerful", for the early 70's, however most movies have at least one "powerful" moment in them.
Definitely a great big bore, but I guess for an 8 year old kid who is easily scared this is the film for you!
