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. |
