The Exorcist (1973)
Directed by William
Friedkin this film based on the novel of the same name stars Ellen
Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow and Linda Blair. The daughter of
a film star is possessed by a demon and her mother seeks out the help
of a priest struggling with his faith.
This film comes with a
big reputation but may have been more shocking in it's day or to
those with religious beliefs than I found it. The plot is a little
slow to take off and never really hints at any sort of explanation at
what we would probably find unexplainable were it to really happen.
There are some iconic moments that certainly pushed beyond what we
have seen before that are well executed with special effects though.
4/5
