The Exorcist- all that fuss about nothing

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2008)

Out of all movies I think horror movies date the most. Horror films just don't have the same impact they had when they first released. Two movies that come to mind are Carrie and the Exorcist. When released they were heavily praised and were hits.
I watched it a couple of years ago and I was unimpressed. I had such huge expectations but I was severely let down. Just because it was disturbing does not make it a good horror movie. It would have worked as a psychological drama but not as horror. The theme tune however is memorable and chilling. Im sorry if I have offended fans of this movie,it may have appealed to you but I was disappointed. Maybe I should give it another go to see if I enjoy it second time around.
