How many times has a "horror movie"made you cry? None for me with the exception of The Exorcist. Watching Father Dyer give his dear friend Father Karras Last Rites is so deeply moving that it brings me to tears...every time. This movie is a masterpiece on so many levels

From the words of Beatlejuice: “I’ve seen the exorcist a hundred sixty seven times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it”🤣🤣🤣

An average street in a regular town? I’d beg to differ.

One of the best and scariest stories ever told. Both The Book And Film are amazing.

The E. Is only nominally a horror movie. Its a story about faith and the kind of love that sacrifices.

One of my favorite movies of all time, and my favorite horror film in general. No matter how much time it passes, it never losses its touch.

Even though it is visually stunning, one thing that the film doesn't explain very well at the beginning to those who read the novel is the scene with Father Merrin's dig in Iraq. I always hear or read complaints that, "It doesn't make sense", "It's boring", etc. from first time viewers. With the beginning of the film, Father Merrin uncovers the head of a little figurine of the demon Pazuzu, whom he recognized because he had previously exorcised the demon years ago. So then he has a premonition later that another battle with Pazuzu is coming, with the clock randomly stopping and him almost getting ran over by the carriage. So to confirm his suspicions he goes to some old ruins where there is an old statue of Pazuzu and knows for certain when he sees the dogs fighting each other (the dogs of war have been unleashed). The dissolve to Georgetown right after is to show you where this battle between good and evil is going to take place. We also learn in this scene that Fr. Merrin has a heart condition and takes these little medicinal pills for it. His first battle with the demon "almost killed him" as we hear later.

When Father Damien says he needs reassignment. I felt that. He has the look In his eyes that he has seen some shite In his time.

We need a Matt Draper dissection and takedown of the terrible, terrible, terrible Exorcist: Believer.

The ending is brilliant. At the limit, the priest sacrificed himself - the demon takes his body and tries to kill the Reagan girl, but the priest rejects this and jumps out of the window, in a desperate act to stop the demon.
