Amazon.com essential video:
Director William Friedkin was a hot ticket in Hollywood after the success of The French Connection, and he turned heads (in more ways than one) when he decided to make The Exorcist as his follow-up film. Adapted by William Peter Blatty from his controversial bestseller, this shocking 1973 thriller set an intense and often-copied milestone for screen terror with its unflinching depiction of a young girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil spirit. Jason Miller and Max von Sydow are perfectly cast as the priests who risk their sanity and their lives to administer the rites of demonic exorcism, and Ellen Burstyn plays Blair's mother, who can only stand by in horror as her daughter's body is wracked by satanic disfiguration. One of the most frightening films ever made with a soundtrack that's guaranteed to curl your blood, The Exorcist was mysteriously plagued by troubles during production, and the years have not diminished its capacity to disturb even the most stoical viewers. Don't say you weren't warned! --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An absolute classic! Still holds up strikingly well.
It's difficult to look back on a film "classic" and try to review it through today's eyes...35 years later. It's always tempting to say, "Those effects were great...for 1973" or "imagine how that affected an audience...three decades ago." You almost feel like you have to make excuses for the film.
But I am happy to report that in a very recent, pre-Halloween viewing, THE EXORCIST has withstood the test of time nearly unscathed. Yes, some of the effects (there are actually fewer than ... Read More
Rating: - Loving it!
I always liked this movie. Before I saw it I was told that it was really scary. I watched it and was laughing my but off!! The old graphics and plot put together made it kind of funny. But the make-up done in certain scenes was scary.
Rating:  - Over-blown classic.
The Exorcist starring Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair is considered the best horror film of all-time, I have to disagree. The Exorcist is scary but the language and bodily fluids are a bit much, it's like enough already! The acting is excellent but overall this movie doesn't live up to the hype, sorry.
Rating: - You're going to feel a little stick here, Regan....
One of the scariest scenes for most people in this movie is the so-called "spinal tap" scene, however the procedure in which Regan has a needle inserted in her throat, and blood rhythmically pumps out is an arteriogram. A spinal tap involves inserting a needle into the lower back, and extracting spinal fluid. It does not involve x-rays.
The doctors refer to "doing another spinal" in a following scene, a thought that is repulsive to Chris and with good reason: spinals are very painful, ... Read More
Rating:  - Worst movie ever
OK, I would say this is the worst movie ever, but Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange and In The Name of the King have those titles. There is no background for the old guy in the beginning. We don't know why the demon selected this particular child. The younger priest that first meets the possessed chick doesn't even try to do it himself first before bringing in the other guy (again, no real explanation). The self sacrifice at the end is empty and really didn't have any value (they left nothing behind as ... Read More
