Still Powerful and Still Masterful.

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2009)

The Exorcist, quite simply is a masterpiece in film making. For those expecting a horror movie with jolts, shocks and scary gimmicks, will be disappointed, however those seeing the movie on original release would've been alarmed. This is an intelligent piece of cinema that has stood the test of time and the only thing that slightly betrays this are some of the effects have aged. That said the direction is flawless as is the acting-very strong performances from all, giving a credibility to all the hokum.
Highly recommended, it will always be controversial but hey what's wrong with a bit of controversy?
