ok so i DLs this off the net and have my earphones in lights off laptop on my lap and thought i was gonna be laughing at how sh!te this is (we all remember exorcist 2:D)

but i watched it and its pretty freaky is very slow building movie and noting like exorcist at all.

but i really jumped at a scene and sh!t myself were a nurce gets killed
this thing just poped out of nowere and the score music cranked up from 0 to 100
i really did jump:D

anyways the movie got a little dumb in its last 30mins but it was well made and very dark i liked it best of its bad bunch of sequals anyways
what does anyone else think of this movie
 
It's a great movie and I like the slow pace of it. It's an underrated gem that is constantly overlooked by many horror fans. But when they discover it for the first time, the reaction is usually positive.
 
yea i was suprised i liked it so much

because i checked out dominion and beginning aswell
and what a load of sh!t they were
the posessed chick in beginning had me in tears it was so funny.
then dominion has this weird bald thing going on and is not scary at all WTF!!:confused:
plus the story though the near enough the same based on the same script wernt interesting so i was not interested either.

i wonder when the exorcist remake will be along it has to happen dont it everything else has been done and been only okayish:D
so why not exorcist:confused:
 
good to know im not the only one:D

i also got chills when i saw one of the statues during a scene it looked like the joker from animated batman haha
 
Yeah, they tacked on that special effects-laden ending, because when studio bosses first saw it they thought it lacked a big climax a la the original movie, with a priest facing off against the devil.

Shame, because up until then I thought the scenes in the cell with George C Scott talking to Karras were pretty riveting, especially when his other persona kicked in (played brilliantly by Brad Dourif).

And I loved the subtle use of sound in those scenes, slight distortion on the vocals, and the occasional jolting burst of anger.

I think it has some great moments, but also some very silly ones that just don't work...the very silly scene with the posessed nurse at the end,with her lunging rather comically at Scott with some sort of large shears. And pretty much all of the ending.
 
LOL the thread title made me chuckle, because the same thing happened to me. The Exorcist is one of my favourite horrors, and Exorcist II was so appalling I avoided part III for a long time, until a friend recommended it. Superb film, really dark and creepy, and that scene in the hospital has to be one of the greatest jump out of your chair moments in cinema. I hardly ever jump at horror films but I think I smashed the living room lightbulb with my head the night I watched that :D
 
Is this the film were the woman goes crazy in a confession box and kills a priest? I think i have seen it, isnt thier a headless person walking around in a hospital (if not my memory is shocking!)
 
The Exorcist movies were one of the few my mum wouldn't let me watch when younger and I still haven't seen them. For my mum to have discouraged me from watching something while growing up, it had to have been pretty bad.

Should I man up and give these films a go, though? I do kind of want to see what all the fuss is about and I like a good horror, as long as it's not torture porn and has more gore than story.
 
I'd say yes definately watch the original and the third film. The original seems to be polarising audiences these days, you'll either find it a magnificent study of psychological horror or you'll laugh at it. The third is more of a thriller with a creepy dark theme running through it. Both imo are superb pieces of film making. Avoid the second, or at the very least watch it after I and III. It's enough to make a priest swear! :p
 
I've seen many comments on here from people who were not around when the film first come out, who know the film by reputation and watch it because they have been told it is the 'scariest film ever made'.

The problem is that they are primed to expect something that will never live up to those expectations.

Another factor is that people who grew up on horror films of the 80's, 90's and the last decade will not be used to the style of filmaking, the somewhat more languid pace, the emphasis on story, and the largely mechanical and slightly primitive optical effects.

You really have to be objective when you watch it, and be mindful of the time in which it was made, of the limitations of the effects at their disposal, and apart from some celebrated moments of gore, the emphasis on suggestion and psychological horror...and more than anything else, the seemingly pervasisve atmosphere of dread and unease that the film creates, which few films have ever done for me.
 
OMG! if you like horror then you have to see exorcist its one of the greats like TCM,SHINING AND HALLOWEEN

every horror buff neeRAB to see them:D

if you want gore then youll be disapointed in exorcist but regan is pretty nastty looking i wouldt wanna sleep in her bed:D
 
im dying to watch exorcist 1 on bluray iv watched all the rest now i wanna watch that one but have to wait it out now. dont wanna put regular dvd on wanna save it for bluray cuz i aint seen it few years
 
It's a decent movie but it's not the film it should have been, I would love to see the original, doesn't seem likely though.

Even so It's unfairly overlooked, it'll always suffer with that thanks to the studio numpties and their desire have The Exorcist in the title which means it'll forever be lumped in with the turd that is part 2.
 
When I watched it many many years ago I too was in the dark and had headphones on and I fell asleep. In the fi;lm someone slammed a door or something and it woke me up with a jump.
