The most famous horror film ever made!!!.

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2004)

Wow you could write a book on this film dont worry iam not going to.Ok so it was 76 or before and an audience was just sitting down to watch the film ,remember all the horror films they were used to are at that time is hammer horrors and John carpenter and Tobe Hopper great film makers.And then came along the exorcist and totally destroyed the audience both mentality and physically.The problem was this film was about twenty years ahead of its self, and twenty years to soon for the big screen as well.The general public at that time in are history had suffered also from viewing this film.Some had died of heart attacks or killed themselves after viewing the film, babies had been lost through shock and stress and reports of other health issues relating to the film ,no wonder back then there was religious groups handing out leaflets warning people not to view this film.The mystery of these causes did not stop there.I think it was about 8 or 9 members of the film crew died of unknown or un- natrual causes as well while in the making of the film.Images appeared on still photos of the set and film.The most disturbing scene in the film is the spider clip of linda blair coming down the stairs, why this was not included in the film is beyond me that had to be the best scene ever used in horror film cinema history.You can see this clip and other really interesting info in the fear of god, a documentary on the exorcist film as well as the film lts self, but this may only be available in england iam not sure.One of the younger priests who was shooting a scene went for lunch a small restaurant was across the road from the set there the actor sat down to have some lunch ,there he had got talking to a real priest,the real priest warned him the devil does not like to be shown the way the film was portraying him to the world he will seek retribution on all those that portrayed him this way said the priest, true stuff honest!!.I actually watched the true documentary story on a satellite channel a few years ago a story of a young boy that had become possessed.The exorcist film had used one or two pieces in the film.This documentary scared the pants of me.A summary of this film is the exorcist is as dark as it can get it is based on a true story just to make matters worse.If you have not seen this film you must off been dead or in space for the last 25 years sure it was banned for some time, but its out now the question is are you ready to watch it, be advised watch it with caution!!!!.As one councellor said in a reveiw of the exorcist in a british horror magazine called the darkside" know person can sit through this film with out it having some sort of effect on that person viewing such material".
