Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Ana R — 11 Apr 2015

It is a good movie and starts out with very strong and compelling images. I liked the idea of the story and it actually did creep me out.

But there is a big but. For me, like may older movies, it tells to many stories at once. This led to the result that I didn't really connect to the characters, which is to bad. It makes the movie way longer than it has to be. Like the story about the mom being an actress, the hole beginning sequence and dad divorce, mom in love thing.

I think they should have spend the time more wisely like for the ending, or making more scene. I mean if my kid runs down the stairs upside down and spits blood I would freak out and not just say "oh god she is sick".... I mean it's not like we do that very day.

After such big build up we really don't get much to understand about this demon or devil. On top of that the resolution feels to quick.

But enough of the bad stuff, it was good still and the effects were very good for the time. Even today they can hold up to most horror movie.

Well it was a good experience, but I would not watch it again. It's just to long for that.
