The Exorcist (1973)

Postby Webb » Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:07 am

I'm watching The Exorcist on one of the late night movie channels. I've seen it before but it's still the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

A visiting actress in Washington, D.C., notices dramatic and dangerous changes in the behavior and physical make-up of her 12-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, a young priest at nearby Georgetown University begins to doubt his faith while dealing with his mother's terminal sickness. And, book-ending the story, a frail, elderly priest recognizes the necessity for a show-down with an old demonic enemy.

I can remember when the original 1973 film was shown at my local Cinema, groups of people standing in front of the queue with placards warning Folks not to watch the film for fear that it may severely disturb them!

I watched it, and I'm all-right..........I think?.... :? ...!

Fortunately the little girl survived quite well.
