The Exorcist is a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2007)

I've often heard people tell me time and time again, this is either the scariest movie they've ever seen or not scary at all. Personally, I'm not scared by the movie, but only the fact of worrying/wondering if something like this could ever happen.
The movie itself is so beautifully shot and such good performances, I wonder sometimes if it's even real. At times, some may cringe or want to turn their heads away. Some may even just stop watching altogether. This movie does that, but it's so rewarding of a film to watch all the way through.
You find yourself really caring about the characters and hoping for them. Each of them are going through struggles within all on their own. It's the ultimate fight between good and evil, light and dark; and in my opinion, couldn't have been depicted on film any better than what Friedkin gave us. The colorful scenes, make-up, music, effects, etc. he brings to the screen are pure brilliance. I honestly can't think of one thing to complain about while watching this movie time after time.
If someone gives you a bad review on this movie, I would disregard it because the movie is such a wonderful piece of art. I can never get tired of watching it because it isn't just some blood fest where stupid teenagers are slaughtered in a row. It has substance, foundation, a backbone and a point. I've run out of things to say. It's beautiful. Watch it if you haven't already. It's my favorite movie of all time. My grade: A++
