The Greatest Horror Film Ever Made!

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 1999)

Undeniably, "The Exorcist" is the greatest horror film ever made! It gets better with each viewing! This is the only horror film that has not only scared me out of my wits, but it also provoked me and the audience. There will never be a better horror film! It's too bad Linda Blair got typecast (similar to Bela Lugosi", but I don't think she cares that much. Her amazing performance as Regan makes other actresses look wussy by comparison! And the imagery used to envoke the idea of evil, still manage to make me shudder. I'll never forget Father Merrin staring at the statue of the Devil in the desert. It says that the Devil, or the Evil, is really the ultimate beast or the monster. It is something we will all have to face at one point in our lives. Plus, despite what others may interpret, it has a triumphant ending! The evil is exorcised and killed by Father Karras, while sacrificing his own life. The devil wanted Karra, and yet, he did not succeed, because Karras took his life with him. This idea was stolen by "The Devil's Advocate", and some other movies. No matter, just get this on a dark, stormy night, and be scared out of your wits!
