Truly the scariest movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

With great acting, great music, great special effects for 1973, and a great plot, The Exorcist is by far the scariest movie of all time. Good verses evil is always the best way to scare people, and this classic movie shows it in no other way. The only movie that comes even close to this masterpiece is The Omen. William Friedkin truly captured the horrific evil in this movie, Linda Blair was superb for what she had to go through, Ellen Burstyn was magnificent in capturing a mother's concern and love for her child, and Jason Miller was perfect as the struggling priest who was the only one to get the evil demon out of Reagan. It is a shame that horror movies hardly win or get nominated for the Academy Awards because this, in my mind, is one of the greatest movies of all time.
