still haunting...

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2011)

I had a "fright night" a few months back where me and my girlfriend would watch a bunch of scary movies. So neither of us had seen The Exorcist and watched it. Wow, very raw and gritty, even for today so I can't imagine how they took it back in the 70s. When she started masterbating with the cross, I think I said "holy crap" out loud. The special effects were good. It seemed a bit slow at times and I really didn't quite grasp the opening desert scene, but fairly solid movie. Not a fan of tragic or unexplained endings, and this one had both, but still a good movie and would recommend it to anyone else having a fright night of their own.
