" When I first watched The Exorcist it was still banned in the UK, the dodgy pirate VHS tape that was somehow even creepier with its random moments of fuzzy inference and sudden sound squawks, ironically the eleven year ban was dropped later that year and I purchased its official release. Was it the scariest film I'd ever seen? I'm not sure when I reached a certain age I really looked at horror movies that way, I definitely found it creepy, but not necessarily from the more obvious blatantly "
"Based on a novel by William Peter Blatty, who also penned the screenplay, actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) discovers a demonic possession around her daughter Regan (Linda Blair) and attempts to rescue her by hiring Father Karras (Jason Miller) and Father Marrin (Max von Sydow) to extract the spirit out of the 12-year-old girl.

"Täydellisesti ohjattu, onnistunut elokuva mielenkiinnottomalla sisällöllä. Pahojen henkien riivaamat raukat sekä manausrituaalit eivät ole koskaan olleet mielestäni kiehtovia. Uusintakatselukaan ei muuttanut tilannetta: katson Manaajaa hieman pitkästyneenä, älyllisen etäisyyden päästä. "
