Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Markus M — 24 Jul 2014
Despite scenes and plot lines that either could've been relocated to different parts of the film for greater effect or just cut out entirely, The Exorcist is a film unlike any other I've ever seen - one that I have a deep love and respect for, one that every time I finish watching I immediately want to rewatch, and one that lives up to its reputation as the scariest film ever made, a large portion of the film's horror not coming from its purely supernatural elements despite the fully possessed Reagan and the briefly flashing subliminal images of a ghostly pale demon face being the single most terrifying things ever put on screen, but from the human drama of innocent people struggling powerless to overcome or even comprehend adversity of an unspeakably evil nature.
