Not scary, but great.

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2003)

The Exorcist wasn't scary, but it is still a good movie. My favorite part is the spider-walk that Regan does down the steps. I know all the tricks that they did to acheive that scene, and how other good stuff was done. This scene was done using a contortionist named Linda R. Hager. In the original version of the scene, she comes down slower, and there are shots where you see a front view of it, and the belt is visible. She then turns over completely and is in crawling position. Her tongue goes in and out of her mouth like a snake, and she chases Sharon around the room, only to be tackled down by her mother. I can't decide which version of the scene I like better, though. If you haven't seen it, you have to, because it is a great movie.
