Greatest Horror movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2009)

First of all to those people who say this film is crap and its more funny than scary - you are stupid. I think people who think that are just shallow people who cant think about things. I feel this film made me think allot about Religion and the Afterlife. I mean this is based on a true story so surly something must be out there. Anyway lets not turn this into a religious debate (Im not a Christian by the way). This film is perfect in so many levels. Its powerful, as I said it makes you think. But its also powerful because you begin to feel the guilt that Father Karras feels about his mother and when the demon speaks in his mothers voice and says 'Why did you do this to me Dimmy?' really gets to you. They really did choose the soundtrack well as well, Tubular Bells is one of my favourite albums and it works brilliantly in this film. Apart from that this song doesn't actually have much music, but I think that works well. It makes it seem more realistic unlike most modern films. Another thing that I love about this film is the In Your Face scenes. They just time it so well. One minute its quiet and nothings happening then it just explodes in your face.
I found I understood the film more after I read the book. It's certainly more detailed. If you haven't read the book I seriously recommend you do.
... Also if you haven't seen this film yet... WATCH IT! Haha but seriously if you not one of those people that likes horrors that just rely on pointless gore and flashing images and your someone who likes clever classy horrors then this is your film. 10/10
