ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MOVIES OF ALL TIME. A TRUE CLASSIC.

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 1998)

I saw this movie for the first time last night. And after years of hearing about the power and effect that this movie has had on people such as my mother and even my pastor, it was built up more than any other movie that I have ever seen, and let me tell you, this movie sure did deliver. It is pound for pound the creepiest movie that I have ever seen and one of the scariest. I was glued to the screen anticipating every scene. I didn't know where the film was going to take me next or how it was going to shock me next.
The climax at the end was terrifying to watch more and more, because at first before the two priests go in to perform the exorcism, you have hope for poor Regan, but as the scene carries on you realize that they aren't getting anywhere and that there is no hope for Regan after all. And that in itself is pure terror. A true classic. As effective as JAWS and PSYCHO. -**** stars
