A Spectacular "Horror" Film

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2002)

People who say this movie isn't scary and laugh at it are ignorant of the truth. What a lot of people do not know, is that this movie is based on a true story. It REALLY happened. Possession is a REAL thing and does happen to people. Real exorcisms are far worse and terrifying than this movie portrayed them. The reason why nobody came out with the truth is because it is said that Mr. Blatty obtained his information in an illegal manner. I know this because I did a project on it. I researched and found all this information on the real case. The real exorcism happened to a boy, not a girl, because he was contacting his "Aunt Tillie" from a Quija board. There were no stairs, and no one was really flung out the window, that was all made up. But the priests involved in the real case were abused terribly. One priest was stabbed very deeply in his arm and knocked around. They said that the possessed boy need ten strong men to hold him down. So, when you watch this movie, approach it seriously. So what if some of the special effects look a tad cheesy, remember, it was revolutionary technology when it first came out.
