Just Breathtaking

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2004)

The Exorcist is by far a film that is taken in the wrong way. I am someone who has the highest respect possible for a film like this. A lot of people in my age gap which is 18 to 21 really don't like The Exorcist. They say that they laugh at it more than like it at all. I can't see why anybody would want to laugh at this. I am not trying to be really delicate and serious but this is a story which can happen and has happened in the past.

It starts off brilliantly with Max Von Sydow on his dig. When first watching this I was quite surprised by it as I didn't really understand what was going on. Because of all the hype that the film received I expected to see projectile vomiting straight away but it doesn't really kick off till the last 25 minutes of the film. For the first hone hour and a half we get to see this story unfold into it's huge climax. What makes this film amazing is it's question of faith and belief. They could have easily made a whole film about the shenanigans behind the scenes of what happened to a lot of people including the creepy parts.
A great film with great acting, great directing, great music and the most intense finale of any film ever made.
