| Raising kids can be difficult, these days but
this scenario really takes the cake. The Exorcist Is a great
mix of spewed pea soup, foul language from a possessed girl and a
terrified mother that really makes for a great horror film.
This movie was destined to become a horror classic the day it was
released. Unless you've been living in a cave up in the
mountains your whole life, it would be impossible for you not to
have heard of it. If you collect horror movies, you have to
have this one.
The Exorcist was not only a very successful horror pic but
it was undoubtedly one the best written ones ever. The
Exorcist 2 was awful, don't buy it! The only real feelings
of horror derived from that one would be in the form of buyer's
remorse. However, the much later
to be released Exorcist 3 was just as brilliant as the first.
And George C. Scott's acting was superb. The first and the third
exorcist movies make a great combo and you could watch them
successively without even watching the second one, and nothing
even mildly important would be missed. |
