No the Devil Didn't Win

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2017)

There is 2 Versions of this film. I prefer we the 2nd version which was subtitled "The Version You Have Never Seen".
The writer of "The Exorcist" (William Peter Blatty) Hated the Theatrical release of "The Exorcist". He did not talk to the director (William Friedkin) for years. The reason for the dispute was that Blatty thought that Friedkin cut too many scenes out of the film and made it look like "Evil Had One". For years on talk shows and public speaking tours Mr Blatty had to defend the film because many people though "Evil WOn Out". Finally after 20+year of pleading William Friedkin re-edited the film to include scenes that Blatty thought was needed. After he re-edited the film Director William Friedkin) agreed that Blatty had been right for all these years. The Re-edited Version is called "The Version You've Never Seen" and it is better but only slightly.
Many people thought in the original version that "The Devil Won". This proves to me most people are stupid. If you look at the original ending the Priest Sacrifices Himself to save the girl. The Exorcism didn't work but the devil didn't win.
This film is still very scary. If you never seen it then please watch it but keep small children out of the room. Suitable for 12 on Up
