The Exorcist - The Best Horror Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2001)

The Exorcist is the best horror movie of all time. Everything about the movie (except for maybe some of the fashions which were pretty scarey) was absolutely brilliant. The build up of tension throughout the film was extraordinary and only "The Silence of The Lambs" has come anywhere near it since. It is also one of only a handful of films which has been the equal of the book it was taken from (It is also my favourite book of all time). I first saw the film in 1978 and still after all this time I believe it is the one movie which has left the most lasting impression on me. I am looking forward to seeing the Director's Cut which I have heard will be out here in the next month.
