Not really understanding the fear concept.

Rating: 3/10 (6 March 2005)

I've seen this movie I'd say roughly five times now, all of which being the director's cut, annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.... eh... I don't really understand what gets people so freaked out about this movie. I've never really understood the hype about this movie since the first time I saw it in 2004. I had heard that there are disturbing moments (such as Linda Blair masturbating with the crucifix), and the image of the demon on her bedroom wall when her mother leaves the room, but beyond that it isn't really something that I find scary. It's easy to see why most people with probably a weak stomach may be turned by it but to tell you the truth this movie is actually funnier than it is scary. Someone's head spinning and them giggling maniacally, isn't scary unless you're just an idiot who's never seen a horror movie before.
I feel saturated by false hype.
The Exorcist : 3/10.
