The Exorcist

Hands down, this is the scariest movie ever made. With other horror movies, I'll watch and sometimes have to cover my eyes, but I'll be completely fine when the movie is over. This movie stayed with me. I was really scared for, like, a week after I first saw it. LOL. I'm almost 22-years-old, but I still couldn't watch this movie 1.) at night, 2.) when alone, and 3.) in the dark.

This is a really gritty movie (and the scenes of blasphemy are horrible), so I don't recommend it for everyone. It's shocking.

God bless,

Jen

I was just wondering about this movie, too.

Well, in my weird upbringing, my mom and I watched this together on TV (I was maybe 12-- 14 at the oldest)... and during one of the commercial breaks, my mom turned around and looked at me over her shoulder and I just about had a heart attack!! She thought it was funny. I don't think I watched the whole thing (it went on past my bedtime-- oddly, that was a rule to be inforced... what happened prior to bedtime, no one cared about...)

I've seen the scary parts so many times, that they don't phase me anymore... (I mean, I don't have to cover my eyes), but I still get freaked out.

Its a pretty cool movie and the effects arent bad for such a old film. But the whole sick-act is kinda, disturbing..

I'm at that webpage now, and I'm uber freaked out. I haven't even gotten into it much yet. It's broad daylight here, and I just jumped. LOL.

I hope this movie doesn't end up having cheesy and idiotic (and heretical) theology in it, like [i]Stigmata[/i]. Nowadays, whenever someone tries to do a movie like this, it's usually carp and full of Modernism. I hope this is good, though. It has potential.

God bless,

Jen

this seems to be the prequel - father merrin battling against the evil spirit before reagan's time. (they already made two sequels to the original.)

I saw like... 5 seconds of the movie, and it scared me for life. o_O I can't read anyhting about excorisms or demons or whataver without feeling like I did when I saw the scene in the movie. x_x The scene was when the girl throws up at the priest. I turned on the movie (it was on TNT I think) thinking, "It can't be THAT BAD." Well.... it was. lol o_o I saw her face and saw her throw up at the priest, and I changed channels really fast, ran over to my bed, and put my rosary around me. o.o;;;

My mother told my brother he had no business watching the movie (she didn't tell me cause she didn't think she'd have to tell me), and that's when I thought it couldn't be that bad. Always listen to your parents, y'all. lol

Yeah I heard Exorcist II was a flop this sounds from reading about it, kind of a new story but with the same character. It looks ok...but nothing can beat the Passion of the Christ, I still like Robert Powell playing Jesus. He gets my vote for Shakepearean Christs... :D
