Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Luca Maria M — 27 Dec 2015
Perhaps, seeing it today, after 40 years of imitators, makes a different effect than seeing it in 1973, but the tension created by the slow and cruel descent of Regan in hell it's still palpable. While scarier scenes have been copied many times by other movies and makes no great effect (today.
..) , the slow pace of the movie is unique and makes it still scary. It's the movie that every single supernatural horror movie wants to be in some way and no one manages to be, because they all want to show too much, too soon.
