Scariest movie ever? Greatest horror movie ever? umm...

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 2002)

Midnight. I head to the family room in the chilly basement, turn ALL the lights off. Pop in 'The Exorcist: The Version You Haven't Seen' (or whatever the hekk it's officially called; I could care less). What do I see? An intrigueing look at demon possession. "What?!," you say. "Not a scary movie? Not a horror movie?" Can't say I did.
I can pinpoint exactly two points in the movie that were in any way creepy. The first, when the demon's actual face (not the girl's)suddenly pops up out of nowhere (such as on the door to the room) - which actually happens a couple times, if I recall correctly. The second, is the added footage everyone sees in the commercials where she crawls down the stairs backwards.
Said scenes were creepy, not scary. The movie as a whole was neither creepy nor scary.
If you're renting this film to see something that hasn't been rehashed in a million ripoffs since its theatrical release in the '70s, i.e. something that's unique from other movies, then please do, it's worth it.
If, on the other hand, you're renting this because it's supposedly scary - don't. Just don't. It's a waste of your time.
