A Legendary Work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2012)

I looked on the top 250 list on this site and found that this masterpiece is down around the 200 mark. Either people are idiots, or they have been accidentally hitting the wrong number of stars.
This movie is a Horror classic and among many it is considered the best ever. The story is an actress's young daughter becomes possessed by an evil spirit, after seeing the girl a charismatic young Priest, who at times questions his own faith, enlists the help of an Exorcist to save the child.
This is one of the scariest movies of all time. DO NOT WATCH THE EDITED FOR TV VERSION. It is in no way close to the chilling original. In it's day this was a masterful, ground breaking, controversial movie, with its portrayal of the possessed child (Linda Blair) spouting all sorts of obscenities as her head spun around shooting pea soup out of her mouth.
This movie has often been imitated but never really matched. The sequels were fairly bad but the original still stands the test of time today. This is a work of art!
