greatest horror movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

To date, the best horror movie ever made...close contenders are night of the living dead and very few others. Both versions of Dawn of the Dead have been picking at me to put them somewhere on my list as well but the stand out has to be The Exorcist. With direction from a wild man who shot a gun on the set to bring out true fear in the actors we have a film that tests the limits of all film audiences. The time of the release was just right to not only offend the viewers with vulgar religious exploitations but to test their minds. The movie didn't use the over done jump scare to frighten the audience. It got to you psychologically. I have no need to mention all the memorable scenes of a little possessed girl. I just want to recommend it to all. Though it may not have the same affect on younger audiences of today, there is still going to be some sting in the back of your mind when your done laughing your fear away. It will be a nervous laugh too. Cheers to me, in hopes to try and compete with the greatest horror movie ever one day by directing a better one.
