Summary: very scary
Review: I keep my reviews short and blunt.
theres a reason everyone was freaked out by this movie as a kid. Plain fact is it is scary. Very realistic portrayal of a possesion. The whole movie has a very creepy feeling and sense of dread to it. Classic horror which relies more on tension then blood.

Summary: Ok overall
Review: The beginning of this movie (I thought) was really stupid, and didn't really make much sense. But in the middle and end, it got really good. Some parts are really disgusting and scary. Well....this 12-year old girl named Reagen gets posessed by the devil (or so the thing claims). And everyone gets freaked out. They tie her to her bed so she can't hurt herself, and 2 priests come to try and get the spirit out of her.

Summary: The Greatest Horror Movie Ever Made
Review: I grew up in the 1970's and was a complete monster movie fan (I lived for Double Chiller Theatre on late-night TV every Friday!)--but I knew to wait until I got older to see THE EXORCIST. Listening to how the adults reacted to it, that creepy music, the ominous poster--I just knew to keep clear.When I eventually saw it, I realized that this was the best horror film ever made.
That THE EXORCIST was left off the American Film Institute's "100 Greatest Films of All-Time" is an omission that casts doubt on the entire list. This is one of those classic films where EVERYTHING works: the writing, the directing, the acting, etc. The extras on the DVD are extensive and fascinating (you can tell both William Friedkin and William Peter Blatty cared about every second of this film).
Most great horror films will have you turning on lights and peeking around corners, but THE EXORCIST will make you afraid to close your eyes.

Summary: Scary...
Review: Scary... and funny at the same time... Unfortunately the hype surrounding the delay in the video release of this film spoilt the story, though one should not be discouraged from this intense, frightening story about Good vs. Evil

Summary: A Timeless Classic.
Review: "The Exorcist" is my number one movie. It earned many awards and was a real shocker in the cinema when it first came on the big screen. It is also the highest grossing horror film ever made. The acting and storyline are superb. (As it was based on William Peter Blatty's horror novel.) The effects of the film are outstanding for the time. Such as the dubbing of Linda Blair's voice. (Which was the voice of Mercades McCambridge) which in many ways is stylish and most probably new back in the 1970's. The exorcism itself is brillant with two very, very convincing priests. Which are Father Merrin (Max Von Sydow) and Father Karras (Jason Miller). They give off a brillant performance. Overall in many ways this movie is a timeless classic and could well live on forever... As the the film that was banned for 25 years!

Summary: Not as scary as they say
Review: I'm not even fifteen and I wasn't scared of this film. Yes, it is very good, but it is way more disturbing thn scary. It is still a good movie. Don't let me drive you away from it. I think The Shining (Jack Nicholson) which was made in the 70's too was a lot frightening the first time (maybe it was because I was younger and saw that first). Anyway, this is a great film. If you like odd movies, this is the one for you.

Summary: The scariest movie ever made!
Review: Wow, I've seen this movie 5 times, and let me tell you this is the scariest. The only bad thing is that the beginning is a little slow, but pay attention, it's even scarier when you listen to every word they say. They need to release a directors cut and add more seens of Regan possesed doing more digusting and dispicable things, and more of this demon face. That demon is the baddest film villian ever! ...This is better than the original version, so buy this one. The don't get scarier than this...

Summary: The best horror movie ever made!
Review: The Exorcist is one of those rare finds. It is a superbly crafted film with a great story and top-notch acting and it also manages to scare the "you know what" right out of you. The thought of the demonic posession of a pre-teen girl is too much for most people to ponder rationally. Yet somehow, William Friedkin (making the movie from the gripping page-turner written by William Peter Blatty) presents this tale in a straight forward manner that doesn't flinch in it's ability to deal with this horrifying subject matter. Contrary to what some people have mentioned the special effects are NOT dated. They are still some of the best effects created in Hollywood. (Perhaps minimalist by todays standards which make them even more incredible).
Highlights of the DVD are the soundtrack, which you'll be scrambling to turn down if you have a home theater system, and the documentary about the making of the film which highlights the many challenges the crew encountered and some of the eerie things that took place during the filming. Look for the infamous "Spider Walk" scene which was left cut on the editor's floor.
Some people I know still refuse to watch this film on its reputation alone. Don't be one of them. You'll be missing one of the best films made in the 70's and without a doubt the greatest horror movie of all time.

Summary: Don't go up there.
Review: It's hard to believe that this movie is twenty five years old. It stands up to the test of time very well and sets a standard for a much maligned genre. The story of a possessed child and the exercise to roust the devil from within is actually done with a bit of class. The movie has been so imitated and misappropriated throughout the last quarter century that it's difficult not to know the plot and outcome already, that said, the film still scares the bejesus out of ya'. In the anniversary edition you get a new scene that is quite possibly the scariest part of the movie, I skipped back to check it out again after the flick was done. Highly recommended.

Summary: "Its an excellent day for an exorcisum"
Review: Once in a while Holywood will release a horror flim that goes above and beyond your avrage Holywood release that's dose not just fade away after Commercial and Block Buster success. The 70's were a blessed time for that. In the horror genre. Thier were heavywights "The Evil Dead", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacare", "Jaws" and of course "The Exorsicts". Between the two virsions of The Exorsicts that were made I don't see why it was criticized by many people. There's just one seen added and a remasterd sound and color job. Some hated the virsion. I say that it adds to the experince a bit. The experince in frightining bliss. Linda Blair, Jason Miller, Ellen Burstyn, and Max Van Sydow's performance's are unforgetable.
