Comments
I read The Exorcist when I was about 13, and it terrified me. I didn't watch the movie for years, and only then with the lights on and my mom in the room. I've seen it several times since then, and it still works on me. I like the slow build, because it somehow makes it more real and gives more time to get invested in the characters.

2022-09-08 00:23:53 +0000 UTCRobin T: I am actually a religious man and the movie is unsettling and unnerving. But it's also quite slow in big stretches, a lot of it takes place during broad daylight, so it gives you a lot of time to breathe, and some of the effects are a bit iffy. Maybe it's because I watched The Ring and The Grudge when I was 7-8 years old that it takes quite a lot to scare me. I'm sure in 1973 I would've thought this was the scariest thing ever. I guess the concept is scarier than the execution.

2022-09-06 08:12:22 +0000 UTCI think one's reaction to The Exorcist depends a lot on what beliefs you carry into it. I have always been resolutely nonreligious and pragmatic, and I found The Exorcist to be an involving and sometimes unnerving thriller, but not especially scary. But if your beliefs allow any possibility that this sort of thing could actually happen (as, for instance, Catholicism explicitly does), then this movie will scare the bejeezus out of you just a surely as it would have 50 years ago.

2022-09-06 05:18:10 +0000 UTCThe Exorcist? I disagree. It holds up remarkably well.

2022-09-05 18:20:59 +0000 UTCWatch it again. It has not aged that well in certain areas.

2022-09-05 05:42:16 +0000 UTCScariest movie I've ever seen was Exorcist. And then I went to see the extended version in the theater, and that was the last time I'll ever watch that movie, ever. Given Cassie's reaction to Poltergeist, I hope this community never rooks her into watching that.
