Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Andrew Z — 15 Aug 2014
The movie is plain brilliant. There are many ways they could have made the movie suck. The screenplay is almost exact to the book. The movie is frightening and compelling even after forty years. The demons frightening face is shown against a black background to build up horror.
Regan's behavior starts with minor thing like knocks on a door. But the second half is horrifying. She sticks a crucifix into her vagina and spins her head around. She spiderwalks down the stairs and spits out slime.
The movie has great voice effects. The demons voice is perfect- raspy and harsh. Fourteen year old Linda Blair did a perfect job of portraying the possessed Reagan. The movie is frequently copied and none of them even come close to matching the original.
This is the scariest movie of all time and it may never be bested.
