Movie Review (The Exorcist):

I've heard from a couple of people that they regret ever seeing The Exorcist, that instantly makes you think it's either because it's too scary or just too evil. I've been pumped to see this movie cause it's everything I love. A haunting story, someone possessed by a demon/ the devil, based on a true story, and most importantly everyone told me not to see it so of course I had too. I not only saw it I bought it :D I was waiting for the perfect day to watch this movie cause when I came home with my stash of horror movies I bought from Hollywood Video to show my parents my dad wasn't too happy when I showed him this movie, in fact he told me I should throw it away. I finally had the time to sit down and watch it and my parents just so happened to be gone that night. The first part of the movie was kinda boring and hard to get into but once Regan was possessed it started getting interesting.

What I don't get is why wont people pull their heads out of their asses and realize that if you open the door for evil to enter do you not think "it" wont pass up the invitation??? It all depends on the things you are doing in your life. If your doing things that attract evil, even if you don't mean to it's going to come right on in whether you open the door or not. A lot of people think that the things I'm doing and consume my life with such as all things horror I'm opening the door for evil to come in but I disagree. What I'm doing is not as bad as what the people who do get possessed are doing. In the beginning and middle of the movie it shows Regan playing with a Ouija board! Oh yeah that sure wont attract evil spirits, keep on trying to communicate with your dead cat.

I didn't think this movie was as bad as everyone made it out to be. Oh sure it probably was back when it came out which was 1973!! So my opinion still stands cause it's 2010 and when you look at the horror movies that came out in this time and compare it to the 1973 Exorcist it doesn't come close to being as bad as EVERYONE said it was. Don't get me wrong I still really liked this movie I thought it was tastefully done and well played, I just didn't think it was scary, creepy yes scary no. I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of this movie even though I'm not a big fan of remakes of classics cause every remake I saw of classic movies the director ruined it. I am aware that they made sequels and prequels of this movie and other forms of exorcisms movies but I want the 1973 original remade. I want them to make it scarier and creepier then the first one, oh and I want Rob Zombie to direct it :)

My only down fall of this movie is they should of showed more of possessed Regan and cut out the first part of the movie cause it was boring and just bunch of people digging in sand in some weird country and priests talking about leaving the church cause they lost their faith. YAWN! for that I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls!
