The scariest film of all-time - The Exorcist Reviews

Without a doubt in my mind, THE EXORCIST is the scariest film of all-time. It's a dark, grotesque ride through the horror genre, bringing us it's best; as forementioned it's scary as hell, and also one of the greatest films ever made. Jason Miller plays Father Karras, a priest haunted by the recent death of his mother. Soon after that an odd murder is committed, drawing police officer William Kinderman (Lee J. Cobb) in to the bloody business happening in the corner of this city. Then it gets bad. Ellen Burstyn plays Chris MacNeil, an actress whose daughter has been acting strange lately. Well, actually - she's possessed. Now young Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair)'s only hope is an exorcism, performed by Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow). THE EXORCIST is a horror masterpiece. William Friedkin excellently directs this American gem, with a chilling screenplay by William Peter Blatty, based on his best-selling novel. Spawning three inferior sequels, THE EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC, THE EXORCIST III and THE EXORCIST IV: THE BEGINNING, THE EXORCIST is one untouchable masterpiece of a horror flick. (The director's cut runs 132 minutes)
