the essence of good and evil...

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 1999)

the fraility of the human condition.the depth and scope of raw madness.the fusion of faith and ritual to dissolve the question of God...are swirled about in "the exorcist."the interplay of demon sprits and priest suggest the duality of devine nature,"man-god.."the battle of good-evil is simple and very powerful..envoking god to fight the demon..the clensing with holy water,the ungodly contortions and levitation,a dance of agony in the clutches of a shapeless monster..yet seen in the guise of a young girl...fear..is felt when the exorcist is on the screen...maybe a sprit has possessed ,YOU?
