200 Favourite Scary Film Moments 
One of the few movies to genuinely unsettle me
“The horror genre is a genre that has been growing on me overtime, and I genuinely believe The Exorcist is a landmark of it. Not just how much it's talked about or parodied, but also its ability to unnerve and unsettle me even years later. The Exorcist is a fantastic film, both as a film of its genre and of film full-stop. The effects are superb and have held up very well, and the sound is marvellous and adds to the many startling moments. The cinematography and scenery are also incredibly well done.

My Horror Top 10 (10 movies items)"Faced with indisputable evil, a mother and two priests must deal with the evil force that takes over a child and the consequences thereafter. "
Terror Blurbs! Pt. 1 (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)"Plot: Three divergent paths of faith are confronted with an undeniable evil afflicting innocence. The Exorcist is a beautifully scripted character drama before it is a horror film and for that reason the horror hits harder than you'd expect. Deeply credible characters, unforgettable imagery, and top notch direction are but a few things that make it deserving of every accolade ever laid upon it. "

1001 Movies ... my own version (1970's) (100 movies items)" Notes: Even though this movie is a huge classic, to be honest, I always had a hard time to really care for this movie. Basically, before I watched the damned thing, I was expecting something really scary but eventually I didn't think it was scary at all. As a matter of fact, the first time around, I thought it was actually even rather funny. My guess is that 40 years ago, when it came out, people were quite shocked and possibly scared but nowadays, there are so many movies which are really mor"
