The Exorcist |
William Friedkin / USA / 1973 / Linda Blair, Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow |
The long awaited re-release of the horror classic. When Regan, a young girl is possessed by the devil, her bedroom becomes a battleground between good and evil, two priests struggle to conduct the demon-purging ceremony. The atmosphere and suspense are unrelenting, amplified by excellent photography as well as chilling sound effects by Gonsalvo Gavira (El Topo). Notorious for Linda Blair's shockingly uninhibited performance as pre-teen manipulated by unnatural and obscene forces.
