The Best Ever in Horror, Still

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2019)

Coming up on a half-century later, it's still the best.
The theoretical possibility of God and his counterpoint Satan are the engine that drives this one straight past boogeyman films (Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street).
What company does The Exorcist keep in the pantheon of horror films? Jaws, certainly. The Omen is certainly no sloppy seconds, either. But suffice to say The Exorcist isn't just the best horror movie ever made to this day. It's in conversation, deservedly, as being among the best films any genre can or is likely to produce.
