Certain Point of View

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 1998)

I think that if you go and see the Exorcist you should remember three things:- 1. The film was made in 1973 and before then there was nothing quite like it. We are these days spoilt with gory horror flicks. 2. This is a film based on religion, which unfortunately is its biggest problem. These days there are a lot of people who simply don't believe in God, if they did and then actually thought about the film for what it represents I think that they would be far more scared than they are. 3. It is a psychological horror film, people find some scenes funny mainly because they can't understand it.
Having said that, I really enjoyed the film and recommend it to anyone, but I agree that it has been over-hyped and by modern day standards it is perhaps not as "jump out of your seats" as some people would like.
