I really do not get it??????

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 1998)

The night before seeing The Exorcist, I watched a programme on TV, "The Fear of God: 25 Years of the Exorcist". And from this it said that when this film first opened back in '73 people were walking out of the film halfway through to be sick, and the remainder exited the film stunned, some even muttering "Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus....". So naturally my curiosity had been peaked. The greatest horror movie of all time, banned on video in the UK. This must be an interesting film. WRONG!!!!!!!! There wasn't a single scary scene in the entire film, and it took so long to finally get going, I nearly fell asleep. To be perfectly honest, it was funny rather than scary. The whole cinema was in fits of laughter throughout. Well how would you react to a deep-voiced 12 year old girl swearing to a couple of priests, a head twisting round and what the hell was she doing with her tongue. I'm sure that when the film first came out, the people were naive enough to actually believe such a ridiculous storyline, but nowadays it's just plain hilarious. Why it isn't released on video is a mystery.
