The Original Exorcist

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2003)

Even though they are showing the Exorcist on cable now like crazy,"The old version", and they have since put the film out in theatres with about 20 missing minutes, and stuck DVD's and VHS tape on the shelves to appeal to the so called "youth" of today- They have done nothing but cause a laugh riot with everyone.
I believe the film should have been left alone-just like the people who died on the Titanic- that should have never been sensationalized either.

I can remember the day the Exorcist came to my neighborhood and I was with my best friend and it scared the hell out of us in 1973- I can remember it like it was yesterday-and it was very real.
It is a big shame that they just can't leave things alone-the classics will now be put on DVD and have stuff added and subtracted and changed and kids today will not know the true meaning of what it was like to sit in that theatre on a hot summer day in 1973 and see the Exorcist and not be able to sleep for 3 days, or see Jaws for the first time and never go in the water for a whole year.
These films shouldnot ever be laughed at. They will be here forever, long after my generation and the next generation is gone. But-there are those I have talked to recently- Aged 25 and under that said that they could not see anything that great about the Godfather.

My point has been proven. The good films should be left alone. And treated holy and with respect.
