A classic horror movie...

Rating: 6/10 (8 May 2017)

It is hard to grasp that "The Exorcist" was made back in 1973, especially since it actually still managed to hold its own now in 2017.
I will say that "The Exorcist" is not overly scary, taking into consideration that this is a horror movie. But I am sure that it was quite scary back in the day when it was first unleashed upon the world. However, it is still a rather disturbing movie, given its storyline.
Sure, the movie shows signs of being from 1973, but still it does manage to stand tall and hold its own even today. Just bear in mind that the effects are from 1973, so they are not up to par with what we see in movies today.
It is the storyline in "The Exorcist" that makes this movie work so well. "The Exorcist" is about a young teenage girl who becomes possessed by the Devil and her mother arranges for an exorcism at the hands of two Catholic priests.
"The Exorcist" has some pretty good casting, which includes some nice performances by Max von Sydow, Jason Miller and Linda Blair.
This is also somewhat of a classic in the horror genre, and this should be a movie that you should be more than familiar with if you are a fan of horror movies. If you haven't already seen "The Exorcist", then you definitely should take the time to watch it.
