Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

faanandor I expected much more, because I saw this film on many toplists and heard great things, but in the end I got disappointed. Maybe I've seen too many good horrorfilms, but this one left me cold and killed my hopes.

anthonyperez-05416 Long thought of as one of the, if not the scariest film ever William Friedkin's The Exorcist is a scary excursion for two hours. The film's story is rather basic- a girl is possessed by the devil himself but filmmaking is so much more than the story. What works for the Exorcist is some haunting atmosphere, great make-up and fantastic acting especially by young Linda Blair. The theme is excellent and has become very popular and the pacing of the film is good- even though this is a long film.

teodorodontosaurus The reason people say this movie is "funny" and "not scary" is that it has become a subject of mockery (too many damn stupid modern parodies). For the time it was really scary; for today's standards, the visual and sound effects are still awesome; I say it aged quite well. It's far scarier than most modern horror movies; it's not the "yikes!" type of horror, it's just disturbing and even reaches introspective levels. The main flaw is that it could have been a little shorter; there are a few boring moments here. This movie influenced a lot of modern horror movies (I don't know if that's a positive or negative aspect).

m-krajeski The exorcist is a fantastic horror film, where the genre really gains its roots. There are a number of iconic scenes that give this Hollywood blockbuster its appeal. In addition to aging extremely well, there are multiple accounts where small details can be noticed after a second or even a third play through. Linda Blair does an exceptional job as Regan as she falls in the pits of possession struggling to keep her sanity as it progressively takes over her throughout the course of the film. A highly entertaining watch for all horror fans!
