The one that started it all.

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2020)

Considered by many to best horror movie of all time. It's at least the best horror film of its kind. I think it works as well on a dramatic level as it does a horror movie. That's probably something you shouldn't be able to say about a horror movie. One of my favorite scenes is the exchange between Ellen Burstyn and the great Lee J Cobb. How scary the movie is depends on your point of view. I've known people who considered it a comedy. All the so-called "rip-offs" certainly qualify more as comedies. However you slice it, it's the only good movie Linda Blair was ever in.
