This movie is a true horror if there ever was one. It is very disturbing, especially on the religious side, but the body movements, the speech, it was all in good timing. Slightly bloody and violent with vulgar language used but still true horror. Perfect for any halloween or dark stormy night.

Absolutely, the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life. I'm a huge fan of the horror genre and have seen my fair share of movies. None had such an impact on my life as The Exorcist. If you need to stay awake for a day or two...watch this movie in a dark room at high volume. Incredible.

Yes. Yes. Yes. If you are not utterly chilled and repusled by this movie, you're probably mineral. Okay. But. The new "thangs" are a mixed bunch; and the ending especially has been as utterly ruined as that of the Apocalypse Now Redux. (Music over the credits? A black background? What happened to the utterly chilling silent-napalm-attack that the credits originally rolled over? Hmm?) Idiots, all of them, idiots. 10 out of 10 because even a new, ultra-crap ending doesn't ruin it.… Expand

A low, dirty, and disgusting horror flick that's plenty effective. It not only looks ugly, it FEELS ugly as though a giant cockroach is crawling inside of you. Key to its effectiveness is the pervasive sense of desecration. Your average horror movie piles gore upon gore. The horror of Exorcist smears slime on pure icons of the church, invades idyllic suburbia, and makes a nubile but virginal teen to do all sorts of nasty things before turning her mouth into an excretory organ. In lesser hands, this would have been one of the most reprehensible movies ever. Friedkin, the master of French Connection, knew how to incrementally notch up the suspense and then suddenly rub us in some of the most putrid images ever. The excellent performances are crucial by anchoring the outlandish horror in the world of plausibility, thereby making OUR world feel threatened by the evil. However, one still wonders what the hell is Satan doing playing a dumb joke like this? Why not cook up another Hitler or Stalin instead of turning puberty into a nightmare when it's pretty traumatic as it is. Also, isn't evil most dangerous when it comes behind a smiling face and warm handshake than when it comes so nakedly and obviously? The problem with most movie villains is they go out of their way to tell us they are bad. They kick dogs or blow up kids(Untouchables). The Satan of Exorcist has been watching too many Hollywood movies. Still, the movie has one thing that's beyond reproach. Jason Miller powerful and ennobling performance as a tormented, guilt-ridden priest seeking redemption. … Expand

This movie is da BOMB!! rating it 0 r u from planet ZOEG?? it was rather grusome at times but was brill

Simply the most fiendish, guttural, disquieting and soiled film ever made. If you're looking for these qualities in a film, this is the one. Some of the scenes are so nasty you want to look away, but can't. A true horror classic and a movie that will stay with you for a long time after. I like Scott M.'s comment... I did not enjoy it, but I did like it.

This horror movie will always stand the test of time because it is simple horror with good vs. evil. This movie gets into your mind and you always remember it. I first saw the movie in 1973 and I could not watch in the theatre. I kept my head down the entire time. The gutteral sounds were frightening enough to send me to the lobby. I can now look at the film but it still remains to be very disturbing and thought provoking. I believe the re-release version is better. The spider walk scene scared the .... out of me and was totally unexpected. Most horror films end up becomming slasher movies. You cannot watch this film and not be effected by the disturbing turn of events.… Expand

Miles ahead of its time and fully deserves the title of 'classic'.

Scary as hell.

What kinda jackass wold rate this movie 0?? I mean, it was pretty scary, but the thing that got me was the that it was hilarious at times. Maybe it wasn't trying to be funny, but nonetheless, it was well done.

I am not easy to scare. And I am a christian so I wasnt so happy about renting it. Well it definitely was the scariest movie I have ever seen and it had a good message to it. Cant say I enjoyed it but I did like it.

This was by far the best movie i have ever seen!!

This is, if I can be so bold, the Scariest Movie Ever Made, witch still has the power and strength to actually make my head turn 90 degrees around. The New Version doesn't improve it alot more but has a new trick up it's sleeve and actually makes it more terrifying.

This is a great film, this excelent!!!!

This movie is sooooooooooo scarey that I had to sleep with my parents for a whole week. Just the thought of being in a bedroom creeps me out due to the fact that most of the film is shot in Ragen's room. The effects are brilliant, and the film itself does its job as a horror flick; it lets our imaginations run wild without our control. If you like extreme horror movies, you should definetly consider watching this. Otherwise, KEEP AWAY UNTIL YOU CAN TAKE IT!!!… Expand

It is the scariest film ever made. It's absolutely brilliant.

I would like to order the movie the Exorcist.

For non-believers, a brilliantly conceived and executed horror classic. For the rest of us, it's all that and more, a tale awesome in its implications.

This movie is the scariest of all time! Gave me nightmares as a kid and the Blu Ray 2 disc set doesn't disappoint... The documentary and making of additions are A+.

People are really simple: we are evil by nature. I mean REALLY evil. So evil, in fact, that we crave the destuction of everything around us. Do you think the devil exists because we are some great being? No, the devil exists because that is largely hat we are. We are terrible. We are horrific. We wish others evil because that's what we are. We are all possessed. We are all supernatural beings that wish the worst upon the world. We are evil. We are all demons. We want all of the world to experience our terror. We are all the devil. We are satan. We are destorers. We will kill. We will destroy. Everyone around us wishes for our death. We want everyone dead..... that is Reagan. Or is it all of us?… Expand

this scared the s**t out of me, excellent plot of a movie and the whole entire movei will keep you scared to death even thou it can get boring at some parts and also alil confusing its still one of the best scary movies i have ever seen in my life

One of the most disturbing films I have seen so far in my movie-watching hobbies, Some scenes are incomprehensible if you haven't read the book, but apart from that a classic for its time.

One of the most artfully crafted, yet entertaining, horror films of all time, if not THE most. It's too bad that filmmakers today don't realize that the horror genre isn't exempt from Oscar-calibre directing, acting and writing. 4-star classic!

One of the best horror films of all time, and this is also one of the most believable horror movies ever, I must say. The scenes are super scary that you need like 10 persons watching the movie together........

Vi esta película cuando tenía 9 años de edad, solo en la sala de mi casa, a escondidas de mi padre. Me impactó demasiado, me pareció fascinantemente terrorífica, además me parece que se puede analizar desde muchas perspectivas, una es la de los límites de la medicina, del pensamiento mágico y desde lo simbólico; habría que ver qué le sucedió a Reagan para que iniciara con los síntomas. Para ser de su época los efectos y la ambientación es perfecta. La mejor película de terror de todos los tiempos.… Expand

Fantastic...a classic, but not any classic, a brilliant horror film! Either if you are religious or not, atheist or theist...this is definitely one of those movies that are made for every different taste. I have watched many times, and I will definitely watch it many more...

Ingenious,thrilling,intense and Superbly acted Horror thriller. I was watching it as it is 39 Year Old movie. and i enjoyed watching it. but i felt as it as more of a thriller. Some scenes are very disturbing and horrifying,i must say well,i am a modern boy and not used to a classic horror but i quite liked it. the best part of the movie is Climax,I loved it. If you 're looking for Horror-Thriller flick with a soul and good script.you'll definitely like it… Expand

The Exorcist is clearly one of the finest horror films ever made or I should say it is one of my top favourite horror films. Some films aren't supposed to be just watched and forgotten after a while, but should be remembered by every generation for decades and centuries, The Exorcist is one of those films that fit the second definition of films as it is still considered as a benchmark for most of the horror films and is admired for incorporating such a conservative topic (if you think about how things were in 1973) which turned it into a masterpiece. Whenever I think of the word "horror" or even just watch it written somewhere, this films is one of a few things that come to my mind.… Expand
