If there is such a thing as a horror film masterpiece, then this is it. Watching this film is not like watching horror films today, where you get a cheap scare, jump out of your seat, laugh a bit, eat some more popcorn, and then on to the next predicable scare. Viewing The Exorcist is not a pleasant experience at all. Even today, 30 years later, no film has come close to the horror and shock of watching this for the first time. I have to say I like the original version better. The additional scenes, symbolism and background music were not required and distract from the story and tension. Yes, the director did a great job, but the make-up, mechanical effects and sound effects are just as impressive. Not to mention great acting and a brilliant story!
