Great!

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2005)

Now, with a film called The Exorcist, you can only assume that it would be some cheesy B movie with a cheesy cast with amateur acting abilities, along with a crappy script. In other words, bound for failure. However, in the case of this classic film, it was a great success and still hailed as the scariest movie of all time. It opens with Max Von Sydow's character at a dig, where he discovers a strange rock. It later goes to Georgetown to Ellen Burstyn's character's townhouse, and develops her character. While watching, you get the distinct feeling that they're specifically trying to push Linda Blair's character with all of the possible cuteness and innocence as they possibly can. Then it brings up this ouija board which they NEVER fully explain, but it's assumed that that's where the demon possessing Regan came from. It goes through different stages of development, but has a relieving ending to it. 10/10
