This movie made me believe in the Holy God even more...the devil will show himself quick...but God is all around us..only believers can see him ! non believers can only see evil, be scared and go down............
I vividly remember going to The Exorcist when it came out. Went with friends and we were skeptical that it would really scare us. WRONGO! Truly frightening...the scenes of the demon tormenting Father Karras about his mother bothered me much more than the pea soup. Had to sleep with a light on for quite a while after...
Great Movie and great Documentary, just wish I could hear all of this. Looks very interesting. One of the most disturbing scenes actually for me, was the part where before she's totally overtaken by the Devil, she makes her way to the Dining room or Living room where there are guests over at her house and she starts dripping. Great peice of work the crew did in assemlying this type of movie. Great movie.
I had to balls up in my teens to watch the full uncensored movie. Yes, for years The Exorcist was on regular TV but heavily censored, so for me to watch the real thing was a big deal. Thanks to Friedkin and Blatty for all the messed up nightmares for years to come but also for turning me into a horror buff/writer!
The only movie that giv#s me creeps. But can SOMEONE PLEASEEE tell me why the demon possess hr and acts very aggresi ve and sexual in the movie? Would help alot
@irmamartinezlautnerr back in times people found that sexual or lust where sins made from the devil..you should understand the aggressive part but im just guessing thats what it was..
@MrsWLeach There were several deaths within a short period of time at a job i worked at about ten years ago....were we messing around where we shouldnt have been? It was a lighting fixture manufacturing company....I think, sometimes, life just happens.
Anyone interested in the deeper and creepier dimensions of this film, check out a website by a guy named Rob Ager. His analysis goes into even darker territory. His theory on the real reasons for all the horrible "demonic" manifestations is a real eye opener. There's more to the story than meets the eye.
@OutfittersOfArt the film being scary is another point but, fucking 9 people died in the making of this film... I've never heard of anything like it... probably the only movie to have such casualties
The're horror movies that make you scared for as long as you are watching them and then you forget them, and the're horror movies that you watch them once and they haunt you for your life. The exorcist is the queen of the second kind of these movies.
This movie scared the crap out of me when I was 14, I still haven't seen it since then, so I like to see how this movie was made to make it less frightening lol.
Ellen Burstyn, one of the greatest actresses of our time explaining all the deaths that happened on the set during the filming is so blase about the whole thing..lol
@hunterkiller1440 Yes it is! I have his autobiography! Just like the real story of Emily Rose (Anneliese Michel) is waaaaay scarier than the movie (that movie wasn't all that scary)
I've caught wind they are remaking it ... I fucking hope not!! no one has original ideas anymore! Look at paranormal activity (u either love it or hate it) audiences really loved the film and I'm convinced it's because it was one of the more original horror movies of its time. lets face it most horror movies have been remakes in the last 5 years ... and when audiences get something different it thrives. I love the exorcist and I will be truly dissapointed if they re do it!

For luck. Shining trivia. Because Danny Lloyd was so young and since it was his first acting job, Stanley Kubrick was highly protective of the child. During the shooting of the movie, Lloyd was under the impression that the film he was making was a drama, not a horror movie. He only realized the truth seven years later, when, aged 13, he was shown a heavily edited version of the film. He didn't see the uncut version of the film until he was 17 - eleven years after he'd made it.
I live right near the famous steps and the apartments were they filmed The Exorcist in Georgetown! I feel blessed to live so close to where they filmed the Greatest Horror Film of All Time!
Hahaha I love the idea that ghosts are haunting the set of The Exorcist to prevent the film from being made. "Ooooh don't reveal our secretly ghostly agenda ooooooooh"
@kyleketchemonia it's funny because the color of his skin is absolutely irrelevant.Lol why not just say "a night watchman died?"Lol she adds the 'black' part because she's coming from an era where 'black' is the other than; in fact, black would be considered the utter and complete 'other than.' this mentality is still around today, should you over hear a person say "yeah, she was cute, for a 'black' girl."Lol it's just some old social baggage that we carry with us. kinda funny, huh?Lol
@VincentL7 for one, you misinterpreted everything i said; and two, i am not black, so i give to figs for what blacks may take offense to. i was just explaining a social phenomenon to someone on here. look, the lady wasn't asked to give a description about an alleged robber where skin color would be a relevant point to make. she just added "black" to guard because she's coming from an era where black has always been considered the "OTHER THAN," hence, worthy of note. she wasn't being...
@VincentL7 ...negative, but at the same time, adding "black" to guard is irrelevant- he's just a guard.
but i agree with you, i absolutely despise the victim mentality of blacks. a lot of them think the world owes them something and they walk around with this massive attitude of entitlement, and it's sickening. we're all victims of history, get over it already... be cool. knish
@dramaticdiva23 That's very true but for me, I'll remember Linda Blair as the little girl with the ability to play Regan in that movie lol what an amazing actress
what a great documentary. really makes you think about the lengths that filmmakers would go to back before everyone just relied on CGI to tell a story.
Don't let him scare you. 9 people died because it took 5 times longer to film The Exorcist than the average film. Add to that the fact that the crew was twice as large as an average film crew owing to the special effects and you have a big window of time for a large amount of people to experience the death of a loved one, associate or their own.
I've had a co-worker die on every film that I've worked excepting 2, does that mean that every other film that I've worked was cursed?
No one died in the fire, it happened on a weekend when no one was on set. And "number two" has already been made with no crazy things happening.
I would seriously be worried about your comprehension skills if you listened to all of that and somehow came up with the idea that the nine people who died died in the fire. Maybe you should mention to your parents that you're having a problem understanding the information being given to you? I'm not being mean, I'm concerned.
I think that the aim of horror movies that touch on religious themes is to get people who may be weak agnostics to embrace religious ideas of there being demonic powers which only the prestigious priests of the Catholic church the same criminal church that burned native indians in Brazil at the stake can deal with.
I think that horror movies that touch on religious themes get made because writers with an interest in the subject matter write a script. It would be one hell of a conspiracy otherwise.
Perhaps I can provide an explanation of why those nine people died. When The Exorcist was made, the people who made the film engaged themselves in what is called divinity (a demonic practice of interacting with the dead). God offenders by death in the Old Testament. When you mess with the devil without God's protection, people can die. Don't take this likely: a person can be demonically possessed and can be killed if not careful. Don't play with God: He's not playing with you.
The God that I know is smart enough to tell the difference between people actually engaging the other side and people who are just telling a story about it.
Nine people died because the filming ran 15 months with a larger than ordinary crew. That is why nine people died.
The theory a review I read present a case saying the 'possesion' was the girl reacting to being abused, by the film director. There are clues to that being a subliminal theme in the film are everywhere. Just before the 'spider walk', he is seen going upstairs. The sexual language of the girl we hear later is another hint. Any abuse is a violent act, hense the little girl comes out with very agressive sexual language. I think that is an interesting theory. Look up Robags film reviews.
That's a pretty fucked up theory considering that the bedroom set wasn't even in the house nor was Billy Friedkin ever on set alone with Linda Blair (Her MOTHER was there) as per union rules.
And the "sexual language" that we hear later in the film was written in the book by William Peter Blatty YEARS before it was uttered by Mercedes McCambridge, the voice actress who said the lines.
I think that Robags is projecting what he likes to do to little girls onto this film.
I thought the first time that I read this that "the director" implied Billy Friedkin, not Burke, the director character. I caught it when I watched Robag's review.
Yes, in the book it's implied that Burke may have been acting inappropriately toward Regan but that sub-plot, along with the housekeeper's daughter being a heroin addict, was cut for time reasons.
I thought that it was clear that Burke ended up at the bottom of the stairs because he was a kiddie fiddler?
@thegirl44 Is Burke the priest? I couldn't tell you about that. I'm not a massive Freidkin fan. I think the Shining is a creepier film and if I want 'horror' I'll read the 'Celebrty' magazines!! LoL
@ariespow I watched this on Hbo with my dad about 30 yrs ago.My mom woulda never let That go down,but Dad let me watch anything with him.Today I do the same stuff with my kids.Hope we make some good memories.
And on a religious side note: It amazes me how alot of protestant churches constantly berate and spit on the catholic church, but when demonic or supernatural stuff starts kicking off they run right back to the Catholics for help. Amazing.
BUT, getting back on track, great film for it's time, and a great job tackling a tough subject to portray on screen.
The protestants don't have the rites the Catholics do (Birth, Death, Marriage, Exorcism etc.) so they, technically, have no way to deal with possession. Kinda explains the Salem Witch Trails, they had no theological way of helping the women so they killed them. Mind you, it'd be insane to say that the Spanish Inquisitions were any better. Check out the movie "The Devils" with Oliver Reed for a great example of how efficient those methods of dealing with the demonic were.
I don't quite get the fact that they make this grand introduction of bringing in this priest, only to have him die a rather unremarkable death compared to the young priest who actually took on the demon; which was also an entirely different method than the proclaimed priest administered.
My mom saw this when it came out and loved it. She ended up going back the same week twice. Her sister almost fainted and went straight to church after; that's funny. Its still a great movie. The best horror and masterful acting. There is nothing better, even today.
i'm not sure about this, but my dad told me that the publicists for this movie hired people to act as paramedics and hang out around the theatres and they also hired people to pretend to faint and stuff in the cinema.
but i can totally understand why this movie is so scary... i watched a small clip from it when i was about 11 and i couldn't sleep properly for ages. :L
This is a clear example of a Classic horror movie, I wish they made horror movies with this kind of reaction! horror movie now days are filled with blood and boobs!!
my cousin loves this freakinn movie lmao i think it's disturbing but it wasn't that serious for people to be actinn that hyped, people were fallinn out throwinn up lmao like the "hell" ??? haha
One of the most amazing horror movies ever made! No horror movie will ever come close to this or even compare! It took me almost 3 days to finish this movie lol.
@Thecrazyone96 You know, alot of people believe is is a horror. Yes, it is a horror, but it is more drama than horror, it has been classified as a drama horror. But yes, it is a very good movie
Over 15 months and some of the deaths were vaugely related (Most movie shoots only last 3 months). Sets burn down, when I worked on "From Dusk Til' Dawn" we had a set burn, the cause was never found, either.
These things happen when you have a lot of people associated with one thing. Billy Friedkin was a genius in selling these occurences to the press as though there were something ominous about them. He also managed to freak everyone on set out, except for Max Von Sydow.
this movie was great!!! im 13 and i didnt get scared, but some scenes were freaky but i didnt get scared. If linda blair didnt look like she did in the movie then i wouldnt b scared at all. But ppl back then werent ready for a movie like this so thats why they were scared. My cousins watched this movie at 6 and the other 4 and they laughed at it and at some parts i laughed soooo hard!!! but it was a great movie but i just wasnt scared but i just wasnt i guess knowing its all fake ruins it.
i know i'm brave im not scared of pretty much anything....except bugs and killers =) lol but other then that i just really liked the movie and its not really that scary it was to the people back then but i guess since i saw worse....
blatty,william,willy you said:''their reaction,whether it was for good or bad that doesn't,matter''believe me,if one morning blatty woke up and he realized someone ripped his arms and sewed them on his back,then he wouldn't be that cool,he would look like a spider
It's the most horrifying movie ever made. Might not be so scary to some now however you have to remember that in 1973 nobody was ready for a movie like this.
I remember watching this film when i was 7....to this day i regard it as the best Horror film of all time, its the grand daddy of them all, since then nothing has scared me. (Movie wise)
to tell you truth, i found this movie to be very funny. Such dialogs you find here is funnier than comedies like when she is saying "lick me! lick me!" or "stick your cock up her ass your worthless cocksucker!" or when she is putting the crucifix in her vagina and make her mother to lick her bloody, torn vagina.
I love that movie but everytime I want to watch it I don't do it because it still disturbs me so much. I watched it I was 12 and now I am 27, I watched dozens of horror movies and I must tell it is the only one that deserve to be called an "horror movie".
@SkaramandraX yeah, I own the film and cannot watch it, but it is one of my favorite movies. I think what attracts me to it is no movie has ever had this kind of effect on me. This is the only movie I can say I love but can't watch often. I can barely watch this documentary lol.
this movie scared me so bad but i love it!!! they need more movies like this! i think she has the scariest face of all time. and this is the best MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
It seems today that hollywood movies do not have the same kind of mind fucking abilities that these movies had back in the day. It seems today that good horror movies are low budget and or independent.
probably one of the best films ever made, but to me not the scariest. i watched this when i was 12 and it didn't bother me at all. saying that i have been watching horror films for years, since i watched the shining when i was 10. but whether you think this film is scary or not, it is definitely groundbreaking; the story, special effects, cinematography... all brilliant! changed cinema for ever! :)
thanks for this!

Perhaps I can provide an explanation of why those nine people died. When The Exorcist was made, the people who made the film engaged themselves in what is called divinity (a demonic practice of interacting with the dead). God offenders by death in the Old Testament. When you mess with the devil without God's protection, people can die. Don't take this likely: a person can be demonically possessed and can be killed if not careful. Don't play with God: He's not playing with you.

The God that I know is smart enough to tell the difference between people actually engaging the other side and people who are just telling a story about it.
Nine people died because the filming ran 15 months with a larger than ordinary crew. That is why nine people died.

The theory a review I read present a case saying the 'possesion' was the girl reacting to being abused, by the film director. There are clues to that being a subliminal theme in the film are everywhere. Just before the 'spider walk', he is seen going upstairs. The sexual language of the girl we hear later is another hint. Any abuse is a violent act, hense the little girl comes out with very agressive sexual language. I think that is an interesting theory. Look up Robags film reviews.

@BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff
That's a pretty fucked up theory considering that the bedroom set wasn't even in the house nor was Billy Friedkin ever on set alone with Linda Blair (Her MOTHER was there) as per union rules.
And the "sexual language" that we hear later in the film was written in the book by William Peter Blatty YEARS before it was uttered by Mercedes McCambridge, the voice actress who said the lines.
I think that Robags is projecting what he likes to do to little girls onto this film.

@BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff
I thought the first time that I read this that "the director" implied Billy Friedkin, not Burke, the director character. I caught it when I watched Robag's review.
Yes, in the book it's implied that Burke may have been acting inappropriately toward Regan but that sub-plot, along with the housekeeper's daughter being a heroin addict, was cut for time reasons.
I thought that it was clear that Burke ended up at the bottom of the stairs because he was a kiddie fiddler?
thegirl44 9 months ago
@thegirl44 Is Burke the priest? I couldn't tell you about that. I'm not a massive Freidkin fan. I think the Shining is a creepier film and if I want 'horror' I'll read the 'Celebrty' magazines!! LoL

Great Film,
And on a religious side note: It amazes me how alot of protestant churches constantly berate and spit on the catholic church, but when demonic or supernatural stuff starts kicking off they run right back to the Catholics for help. Amazing.
BUT, getting back on track, great film for it's time, and a great job tackling a tough subject to portray on screen.
demboys18 1 year ago
@demboys18
The protestants don't have the rites the Catholics do (Birth, Death, Marriage, Exorcism etc.) so they, technically, have no way to deal with possession. Kinda explains the Salem Witch Trails, they had no theological way of helping the women so they killed them. Mind you, it'd be insane to say that the Spanish Inquisitions were any better. Check out the movie "The Devils" with Oliver Reed for a great example of how efficient those methods of dealing with the demonic were.

I don't quite get the fact that they make this grand introduction of bringing in this priest, only to have him die a rather unremarkable death compared to the young priest who actually took on the demon; which was also an entirely different method than the proclaimed priest administered.

i'm not sure about this, but my dad told me that the publicists for this movie hired people to act as paramedics and hang out around the theatres and they also hired people to pretend to faint and stuff in the cinema.
but i can totally understand why this movie is so scary... i watched a small clip from it when i was about 11 and i couldn't sleep properly for ages. :L

@placebosky
Over 15 months and some of the deaths were vaugely related (Most movie shoots only last 3 months). Sets burn down, when I worked on "From Dusk Til' Dawn" we had a set burn, the cause was never found, either.
These things happen when you have a lot of people associated with one thing. Billy Friedkin was a genius in selling these occurences to the press as though there were something ominous about them. He also managed to freak everyone on set out, except for Max Von Sydow.

My cousins watched this movie at 6 and the other 4 and they laughed at it and at some parts i laughed soooo hard!!! but it was a great movie but i just wasnt scared but i just wasnt i guess knowing its all fake ruins it.
