One of The Scariest!

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2001)

`The Exorcist' to many movie fans is the answer to the infamous question said to poor Sydney in the `Scream' trilogy = `What's your favorite scary movie?' `The Exorcist' did scare me. However, it did not possess me enough to declare it the scariest movie of all time. I give that honor to `The Amytiville Horror.' For those of you who do not know, this horror flick is about a pre-adolescent who inhabits a bit of a behavioral problem. I loved the theme song of the film `You Spin Me Round' by Dead or Alive. Ok! I will quit exorcising I mean exercising my sarcasm. This new version, which includes some old deleted scenes from the original, will also make you sleep with the light on. Linda Blair's haunting performance is one of the best of all time by a child actress. What could have possessed her to take crappy roles afterwards? A new scene to this renovated version is a shattering staircase flip by our protagonist Regan that is very reminiscent of those done by russian gymnasts in style and appearance (ever seen a pretty russian gymnast? Or russian athlete for that matter?) Anyways, make sure that `The Exorcist: The Version You Have Not Seen Before' is one that you will end up having seen before. **** Good
