Not anywhere near as scary as I thought it would be but still a very good film!

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2016)

This film stars Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller and Linda Blair, directed by William Friedkin. Blair plays Regan, a young girl possessed by mysterious demon and the mother's (Burstyn) only hope to save her daughter is the exorcist (Sydow).
I had previously seen some bits of the film and I thought my senses were going to be completely assaulted during the film. Turns out, it wasn't that scary at all! Not once when I watched the whole thing did I ever feel that scared. Very good atmosphere, though, very well shot, very well directed, very well acted and truly a horror classic of the 1970s (which in my opinion is the best era of filmmaking).
