MOVIE INFO
Novelist William Peter Blatty based his best-seller on the last known Catholic-sanctioned exorcism in the United States. Blatty transformed the little boy in the 1949 incident into a little girl named Regan, played by 14-year-old Linda Blair. Suddenly prone to fits and bizarre behavior, Regan proves quite a handful for her actress-mother, Chris MacNeil (played by Ellen Burstyn, although Blatty reportedly based the character on his next-door neighbor Shirley MacLaine). When Regan gets completely out of hand, Chris calls in young priest Father Karras (Jason Miller), who becomes convinced that the girl is possessed by the Devil and that they must call in an exorcist: namely, Father Merrin (Max von Sydow). His foe proves to be no run-of-the-mill demon, and both the priest and the girl suffer numerous horrors during their struggles. The Exorcist received a theatrical rerelease in 2000, in a special edition that added 11 minutes of footage trimmed from the film's original release and digitally enhanced Chris Newman's Oscar-winning sound work. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

CRITIC REVIEWS FOR THE EXORCIST
All Critics (77) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (64) | Rotten (13)
"The Exorcist".. may not be a great film. It is, however, a brilliantly successful horror movie.
February 9, 2018 | Full Review…Friedkin seems to have found his forte.
January 8, 2018 | Full Review…The Exorcist, with its excellent cast, mounting intensity, and ingeniously constructed surprises, is still a commanding achievement.
October 15, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…The movie that launched a new era in horror films, and which, for one generation, remains one of the scariest experiences of their lives.
October 15, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…The Exorcist, like most memorable Hollywood movies, gains its power from the way it mixes opposites: new-style realism and sexual radicalism, old-style horror and religion.
October 15, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…When I first saw The Exorcist, I saw only the literal side of the story. But as I watched it again, I began to view the movie as a dark fairy tale about a parent whose child is experiencing a painful trauma.

AUDIENCE REVIEWS FOR THE EXORCIST
- Jul 02, 2016Seminal horror film. Simple story: young girl is possessed by the devil and must have an exorcism performed. Ellen Burstyn plays the girl's mother and is superlative as she tries to seek ways to get her help. The exorcism scene is devilishly awesome.This was a breakthrough film in its day and still delivers the frights today.Aldo GSUPER REVIEWER
- Jun 22, 2016This movie is over 40 years old and still remains one of the scariest movies of all time. A teenage girl becomes possessed by a mysterious entity and her mother seeks the help of two priests to save her daughter. The extended version is even scarier than the original. If you enjoy the modern "possession films" then you need to see this. It will put the rest to shame.Patrick WSUPER REVIEWER
- Mar 31, 2016A horror classic. What more can I say?Stephen SSUPER REVIEWER
- Jan 30, 2016I really didn't find it that scary. It was gross and a little depressing maybe, but there wasn't much else going on. I'm quite a fan of Fredkin, but I just didn't see much point to this. Some moments were quite effective though. It's a technically accomplished film with a genuinely creepy atmosphere, I'll give it that. But that simply isn't enough to carry a whole motion picture. Perhaps if I believed in god and the devil, rather than being an agnostic I might have been swept up in the hysteria this film has generated among film goers and thought it the horror classic many claim it to be.......
