Dated, but still scary.

Rating: 7/10 (27 October 1999)

I sat down , 18 years of after i first watched the exorcist not really knowing what i was going to think of , was it going to be dated was i still gonna be scared out of my wits like the first time i watched it? well the exorcist HAS dated but not to badly, its still horrific in its own way ( i still think" THE OMEN" is the better film) and i can see how it was banned in the UK for so many years , not the i agree with banning or censorship in any shape or form. For someone seeing the Exorcist for the first time they might come away being dissapointed but what they must realise is this film was made in 1973 and nothing had ever been seen like it.The first 40 minutes are very slow but after that things hot up! 7 out of 10
