Not your regular Horror movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

To me this is by far the best Horror movie ever. I really hate calling it a horror movie though. When most people mention horror movie I always think of those "slasher" movies that always seem to be popular, though I'm not sure why. Sure The Exorcist will scare the heck out of you, but it is also a great drama. The different people who have their own problems, all come together to fight the one evil. The mother who only wants to help her daughter by whatever means possible. The priest who is not sure about his faith in his religion. The old priest that comes to the rescue only to fail. (That scene when he dies and Father Karras comes back in the room and Regan is on the bed giggling is one of my favorites) I truly believe that you have to be a thinker to get this movie. Anyone can make a movie with some guy chasing teenagers across the screen with an ax or chainsaw and call it horror. But its not scary. But what is more scary than the unknown and unseen.
