For horror fans, how could you not like the Exorcist? It's purely brilliant in every way. You name it, the horrific events in Regan's room, to Chris's constant panic for her daughter, to Father Damien's mother's death, it's perfect. The acting is pure brilliance, even the voice for Pazuzu, the demon possessing Regan.
What got to me in this film is that the fact is Regan is innocent, she didn't do anything to deserve this possession. She's innocent, I tell you, innocent! Anyway, this film is deeply disturbing, from spitting vomit on Damien, from the disturbing image of Damien's mother, to Regan doing stuff with a crucifix. This film shocked me, along with everyone else in the world. What can I say, this film is terrifying! This is the most creepiest film I've seen since Halloween, and the most disturbing film I have seen since the Shining. I must admit, this movie has gotten a bit tamer since 1973, but it still horrifies every time I see it. It is very scary, in my opinion, when you find out that something is not right with this girl. I mean, she's talking in this strange voice, she's slapping people, ans she's vomiting! It terrifying!
The Exorcist is about a 12 year-old girl that is obviously possessed by a demon called Pazuzu. A priest named Damien Karras is taking care of his mother when she dies, and he doubts his faith. He then meets Regan's mother, Chris, and she tells him to perform an exorcism on her daughter. He reluctantly agrees and meets Regan. It doesn't go so well. She insults his mother, spits vomit on him, and other foul things.
Father Damien Karras is then joined by Father Merrin, another priest. They throw Holy Water on Regan, and other things. They take a break. When Damien comes back into the room, he finds that Merrin is dead. He then tells the demon in Regan's body to take him. It does. He then throws himself out a window, killing him. He had sacrificed himself for Regan.
Overall, this is so close to perfect.
