Over-Rated For The Jaded Generation?

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2000)

I guess you could call me a desensitized teenager, but I don't get the big deal. Granted, the special effects and the acting, especially by Linda Blair, is excellent but... it's just not scary. My sister does many of the possessed's "unspeakable vile actions" on a daily basis, there are no real plot twists, or even cheap "shock" shots like in slasher flicks. It is, however, still way better than any of its imitators (*cough* Lost Souls *cough*).
