Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

teodorodontosaurus The reason people say this movie is "funny" and "not scary" is that it has become a subject of mockery (too many damn stupid modern parodies). For the time it was really scary; for today's standards, the visual and sound effects are still awesome; I say it aged quite well. It's far scarier than most modern horror movies; it's not the "yikes!" type of horror, it's just disturbing and even reaches introspective levels. The main flaw is that it could have been a little shorter; there are a few boring moments here. This movie influenced a lot of modern horror movies (I don't know if that's a positive or negative aspect).

andymcgraw-95291 A young girl becomes possessed by a demon. Her skin becomes a grayish color and stays that way. Two Catholic priests are asked to remove this demon from her. While demanding that the demon leave her body, some of her skin rips open and her head even spins around. An image of a demon appears luminating across from them over the girl in her bed on her knees, wincing. The image almost looks like a hologram. In another scene she does the crabwalk down the stairs. What are her parents going to do? Will they ever get their little girl back? Watch The Exorcist to find out.

themullofkintyre When it comes to horror films I liked to be scared, this just didn't do it for me. Linda Blair as the classic horror icon Regan did not phase me at all which is sad because this is regarded as one of the scariest films of all time but this was when nothing else had done possession in that form before so I understand.

justinmethe The main thing I really liked about this film was how different it was from many of today's horror films. It wasn't just your classic slaughter movie with the worst actors or just completely dumb characters who you almost want to route against, but instead was interesting with characters who actually had purpose in the movie other than to just be butchered. I would call this movie a horror but it may also be a drama as well. It takes a great look at what would actually happen if a young child were to become possessed in 1973, and I believe that's why so many people became so afraid of this movie or of the idea because of how realistically sounding this was. This movies impact reminds me a lot of like the movie JAWS. Once that movie came out and people heard if shark attacks being reported their was a mass hysteria which just added to the intensity of the movie and same with THE EXORCISM. The movie is one of the few horror movies where it actually has meaning and life to it instead of it just becoming a slaughter house halfway through.
