Apparently your mother isn't doing well in hell

To say that the exorcist pushed the envelop when it come to horror movies would be an understatement. Nowadays you get horror films that try to stock up on gore to freak people out but the exorcist is classic for being one of the scariest movies I can think of without having any gore in it to gimmick people into being scared. This movie is so excellent that the scene were her head spins around actually kept me awake for many a night as a child. Taking on the issue of religion and exorcism was quite the endeavor and because of its success it set the stage for the creation of the exorcism sub-genre in the horror genre.The only movie I have seen that even stands close to the excellence of this movie would be last years The Rite with Anthony Hopkins. If you like this movie then see that one, and if you liked that one see this one.
