Review of The Exorcist (1973) by Rob Ó — 06 Nov 2013
An absolutely perfect film. Flawless, thrilling and actually scary forty years later - despite the drawn out length of almost every scene in the film (something that would rarely happen in contemporary populist cinema) I was never, ever bored.
Every character was interesting, every scene was compelling, every goddamn PROP seemed like it had some kind of eerie significance. It's hard to believe that when this film was released it was up against horror as trashy and artless as 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula'.
Absolutely unmissable.
