Brilliance in filmography...

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2004)

I have read several user's comments and do not understand how you can compare 'The Ring' to 'The Exorcist'. Honestly, are you that shallow and unintelligent? The Exorcist simply is the best scary movie ever made. Editing, acting, special effects, etc. etc. Considering the movie was made 31 years ago even more illustrates this point. 'The Exorcist' simply puts all other horror flicks to disgracing shame.
Okay...to all of the young people you do not have the patience to sit through anything besides extreme blood and gore...you are missing out on the best character development ever to be shown on film, ever! How can you say you laughed at this movie. Nothing about it is funny, not in 1973 and not today in 2004. That goes to show why stupid Hollywood flicks continue to gross more money than artful, intelligent movies. Look at the audience obviously.
Linda Blair was 12 years old when she made this film, and it is the best performance given by a child actor/actress ever to be seen. And that is a shame really because child stars are a big business, but none that are in the movies today display the depth and maturity that Linda Blair did in this film. She was simply way ahead of her time, especially considering the disturbing film subject matter.
I have watched this film at 6, 13, 15, 20, and 29 years of age. It still scares the hell out of me. This movie is not a joke. The subject is intense and still hotly debated. Masturbating with a crucifix, telling a priest to **** himself, hitting your mother and using "cunt" prolifically...all very very intense stuff.
To all those who don't understand the reason for this films' greatness...You obviously are more suited for movies like 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', and that is your problem.
