Scary and Ground Breaking but Old Now

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2014)

This movie was very ground breaking when it came out way back in 1973 or whenever with a lot of very scary scenes that are still frightening and stick with you today. They didn't have those kind of effects a lot back then and when you add that to the real religion of the movie it made it real and terrifying for many people who watched it, unbelievable by today's standards this movie was even banned for a very long time in many countries.
I don't mean to crap on this movie because it clearly was a great and ground breaking film and the acting in it is even very good today, Max Von Sydow as the older priest was so fantastic in this I can't believe he didn't get tons of awards for the role... but the truth is that this movie doesn't hold up that well. The frights still work but the effects today for the most part do not compare and some people even would laugh at these effects now.
