i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Excellent, smart action film.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This film is everything one horror movie need to be, I will say it like that, I've watched almost every descent(and worse) horror movie and I know one thing-if a movie needs 200 jump scares to scare you it isn't that great.The exorcist is really scary just from the story events and if you believe in such things you will and you are religious you will find it scary too.

I recently revisited this film on Blu-ray after some 45 years. It still rates as one of my favourite horror films, one of my top ten films and a masterpiece of film making. Beautiful photography, great locations, sets, special effects and acting. It still stands up as a great film today

Ok, I didn't love it. I think it's one of those movies that I waited so long to see it that it's become such an ingrained piece of our culture that even though I had not seen it, it felt like I had seen it. But at least I can say I did it! It's a well made movie for sure and I can totally respect that at the time it did something that no other movie had really done before. There's certainly some shock value to several of the scenes. I can also acknowledge that it changed the genre of horror films by becoming so pivotal. It was a huge success and everyone wanted to emulate that success. The acting is good and the special effects hold up reasonably well.

The exorcist is a fantastic horror film, where the genre really gains its roots. There are a number of iconic scenes that give this Hollywood blockbuster its appeal. In addition to aging extremely well, there are multiple accounts where small details can be noticed after a second or even a third play through. Linda Blair does an exceptional job as Regan as she falls in the pits of possession struggling to keep her sanity as it progressively takes over her throughout the course of the film. A highly entertaining watch for all horror fans!
