Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Akshatmahajan — 31 Oct 2020
The Exorcist is always considered as a horror masterpiece. I went to watch this movie after listening so much about it. I accept that movie was made in nice manner but I may not call it best horror movie.
Visuals, effects and horror are good. The characters are very strongly portrayed. Some scenes are shocking but some are really unnecessary. This movie had a problem which most of the horror movies don't have; pace and runtime. Film's pace needed to be slow and it was slow but too slow. And the runtime of 2 hr was too much, movie could have ended in 1hr 30 minutes (max).
Some scenes were great and new at that time (1973) and some even became iconic. Now, you see these type of scenes in each and every horror movie.
Overall, you may enjoy it but not that much maybe because we have watched alot of movies of this type. It is considered a masterpiece as it was great when we see it considering that it is 1973 movie and not 2010s.
