Biggest disappointment I've ever had...

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 1998)

Having recently been able to see The Exorcist for the first time due to it being banned in the UK, I was prepared to watch the scariest film, the most stomach-churningly horrific film ever made.
I was terribly, terribly disappointed. In my opinion, this is the most over-hyped film I know of. Its main aim, to scare and shock, fails utterly. Most of the time the supposedly horrible events are actually rather amusing, due to the stupidity of the characters or the rather lame and over-ambitious effects.
Despite some good moments, such as the final moments of the exorcism itself, this film is simply *boring*.
