What an excellent day for an exorcism - The Exorcist Reviews

The Exorcist not just a movie?.It was true story The exorcist is the most terrifying movie of all times... In 1999 it was voted the scariest movie of all time? It Remains the most viscerally Harrowing movie ever maid in history? The Most electrifying of the 31st scenery in the trailing extended version the footage you?ve never seen? The movie begins in Northern Iraq, at the site of an archeological dig. There is a scene where Father Lankester Merrin, the exorcist, unearths a small artifact bearing the likeness of a demon named Pazuzu. It is not until late in the movie does not give any clue that Father Merrin had once faced that demon before. The book is much more explanatory, but the same can be said with all books adapted into screenplays. Merrin then travels to a site where there is a statue of the demon Pazuzu. It is in this scene, where they are standing face to face, that it symbolizes the confrontation to come. The story then switches to Georgetown, a suburb of Washington, DC. It is here where the young, sweet Regan McNeil lives with her actress mother Chris McNeil. Unfortunately poor sweet Regan becomes possessed by Pazuzu. That is when Chris seeks the help of skeptical Father Damian Karras. He himself is having problems with his faith. He is torn between having become a priest and living a life of poverty and not having become a highly paid psychiatrist and been able to provide for his old, ailing mother. He reluctantly agrees to see her. These are some of the most memorable scenes. One good example is the famous throw-up scene. It is not until later in the movie, when Father Merrin arrives to perform the exorcism, that the most horrific scenes are shown. Need I mention the head spinning scene? The story itself is a powerful one. I believe it instills an intense psychological fear in the audience. If you've read the book, you can understand the feeling. The movie does a good job at recreating the emotions. That is why this movie is and will always remain as the number one scariest movie of all time. One Of The Famous Dialog In The Film The Exorcist? The Man Priest says?. Your dotter din say that she a demon, She say she?s a devil him self Mother says?. I?m telling you that thing up stairs isn?t my dotter?.I what you to tell me did you for a fact that nothing wrong with my dotter accepts in her mind?.You tell me you know for a fact in the exorcize would not be good?you tell me that !!!
