i really dont know why the face petrifyes me so much, i literaly cant even bring myself to see it, even thought its clearly in my head. quick thin,g is the face ment to achualy be the devil or is it pazuzu
Dman this scene is so cary for me, and not for the face its for the sound, no sound no music, only like little pain words of the son of this woman, see he lost his man and he cant do nothing!
What's most brilliant about the subliminal face is that there is no sound cue to accompany it. It's purely visual and the strobe effect works in such a way that you feel like you see it longer than it actually appears (like when you blink after the flash, you can almost see it again). Nowadays it would have been a cheap jump scare with an obnoxiously loud noise to startle you. Here, in the context of the dream, it's fucking chilling.
What I love most about this movie is that they didn't just force a generic villain on the audience like most horror movies. They specifically refer to the demon as Pazuzu which immediately captured my imagination. I don't feel sympathy for the character, but in understanding the character I realize that a perspective which has endured thousands (or more) years of experience will draw some odd conclusions for those of us who simply pass after seventy or so years.
Out of all the scenes in all the horror films that I have ever watched, this is one that freaked me out the most when I saw it for the first time. Brilliantly made and works well within the context of Karras' guilt.
That faced creeped me out when I saw this on tv back in the late 70's. The film was extremely edited for a television audience, but I was still afraid to shut the lights off and go to bed that night.
This scean makes me upset because the lady reminds me of my mother, my mother is still alive but I feel bad because I have been bad to my mother in the past and i dont know what I would do if one day she just disappeared like this :*(
This isn't the first time, is it? Wasn't there a time before, like when Reagan was at the doctor's for the first time. It was right before she said she couldn't feel anything.
no deben haber imágenes + fuertes grabadas. no por el rostro amenazante del demonio. la idea de 1 madre despidiéndose y llendose al infierno es inhumana.
I wish all the young horror directors would get it through their thick skulls that it's suspence, mood and disturbing images that make a good horror movie.
Completely agree. More blood and torture, doesn't mean a film is scarier. There are so many elements of The Exorcist which make it so good - the music, the sounds, the questions of faith. It's such a great film.
its abou munipulation its a doctors expirament the demon faces and the music many people lost their sleep and had nightmares its clearly a test for propaganda and i got proofs for that wake up its not the movie that scared you they are controling your mind
this is about munipulation its an expiriment done by a doctor many people lost their sleep and had nightmares its clearly propaganda its not the movie that scared you
I love this scene. It's about Father Karras thinking his recently deceased mother is going to Hell (The Subway Stairs being the metaphor) because of him losing his faith. Tragically the actress who played the mother died shortly after finishing the role. R.I.P.
The face isn't so scary. The dream creeps me out. Jason Miller was such a talented actor and as i read a writer. That movie and Legion are the best. The others are compete BS.
