Now that what you call a horror movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2020)

The Exorcist is a horror movie directed by William Friedkin and stars Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb, Linda Blair and Jason Miller in the leads. Also this was the last movie of Jack MacGowran.
The best part about the movie is that it takes it's own pace to set up the plot and touches almost all the aspects like visiting to doctors and psychiatrist before going to priests. In mostly horror movies directors skips this small but important part.
The acting is good specially by Linda Blair. Screenplay is nice. The movie could be little less scary but still has all the elements for a nail biting thriller.
The climax of the movie is good and detailed specially in one of the scenes where Sydow and Miller takes rest shows exorcism could be a really lengthy and tiring process.
Overall a one of the greatest horror movie which should be watched by every horror movie fans.
