The Exorcist

What a fantastic and scary but fascinating book. The film with Linda Blair and Max Von Sydow was so far ahead of its time. I was just a young boy when the film was released and remember that there was heaps of controversy at the time. Ambulances and police were rushing to theatres because people were fainting and screaming with hysteria. In some extreme cases priests were called. I know that the film was back in theatres a while ago and my partner and I went to see it again with our nephew and niece. They were both in their twenties back then and I recall them laughing all the way through the film. I guess times and tastes have changed. The book is great and the original film too, whatever the younger generation may think. The new TV series is good though, I must admit. I think it stars Ben Daniels as the priest.🐯👍

One of my all time favorites - book and movie! Great review!
Great book! Enjoyed the sequel “Legion” too
I'm reading this one right now :)
Ooo! a classic. That book is as scary today still as it ever was.
Great review Leo! Definitely an all time favorite of mine as well, both the book and movie!
The version we took our nephew and niece to see was an unedited version. The scene when Linda Blaire comes down the stairs arched over backwards on all fours...They called it the Tarantula. It was as deemed to scary for viewers in the original movie and the scene was deleted.🐯👍
Too scary! Bloody Kindle! Lol!
Yes there was " one clear outcome".Both pompous priests paid with their lives, which was what Ancient Deity was working for all along. The talking monkey child was just bait to lure them in.
