Still powerful after all these years.

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2002)

Based on R2 DVD 119 min with directors introduction.
To someone with no interest in the history of cinema or a peep hole to earlier times The Exorcist would be a good horror movie with a bit more story than action. To anyone older than 30 it has lost little of its original power to shock and provoke.
I don't buy the "you take from the exorcist what you bring to it" line, which sounds like 90s (or was is 80s) spin - the good guys win but at a high price and little girls are not to be trusted ;-
7/10 well worth watching in any time.
