The Exorcist description
Director William Friedkin was a hot ticket in Hollywood after the success of The French Connection, and he turned heads (in more ways than one) when he decided to make The Exorcist as his follow-up film. Adapted by William Peter Blatty from his controversial bestseller, this shocking 1973 thriller set an intense and often-copied milestone for screen terror with its unflinching depiction of a young girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil spirit. Jason Miller and Max von Sydow are perfectly cast as the priests who risk their sanity and their lives to administer the rites of demonic exorcism, and Ellen Burstyn plays Blair's mother, who can only stand by in horror as her daughter's body is wracked by satanic disfiguration. One of the most frightening films ever made with a soundtrack that's guaranteed to curl your blood, The Exorcist was mysteriously plagued by troubles during production, and the years have not diminished its capacity to disturb even the most stoical viewers. Don't say you weren't warned! --Jeff Shannon |

| Why has The Exorcist become one of the most well known, influential, and important horror films of all time? I'll tell you why......because it had a very healthy budget and pushed the envelope. Two things that usually don't co-exist together in film. When The Exorcist was screened in the seventies people were literally throwing up at the theatre. How many films can you say that about that come out now? None! Coincidence? I think not! People in the film business now have this notion that you cant be professional and have extreme elements at the same time, and that's exactly the problem. Nobody will finance films like this anymore, that's why the 70's kicked a** and why horror films stink now. The Exorcist is disturbing, evil, dark, extreme, and professional. It's everything a horror film should be, and nothing like the films made nowadays. The main theme here is good vs. evil, and even if you dont normally have any religous beliefs......you will while watching The Exorcist. |
