"The Exorcist"

This is by far the scariest movie I have ever watched. I have gotten quite a few e-mails from fans that say they laughed at "The Exorcist". Laughed???? Not me, because I kind a believe in all that stuff. This is not to say that I am a religious freak, because I am far from that, but rather that I do believe in an ultimate evil. My first memories of "The Exorcist" came the first time my parents left me home while on vacation. First off, I lived in a very creepy house Second, like I said earlier I really believe in this. It was late at night and I saw that "The Exorcist" was on HBO, so I decided to watch it. BIG MISTAKE!!! (well not really, but that night I thought so) After the movie was over I went through the house turning on every light and doing my best Father Karras imitation, hoping to cast out any evil spirits that were there. As you can imagine, I didn't sleep a wink that night. It was kind a of exciting to be that damn scared. Now, that's what I love to see in a movie. One that's so good that you start to believe in it. I must say I did start attending church every Thursday & Sunday over the next couple of weeks, well at least to the message began to bore me. I didn't much care for "Exorcist II", but really enjoyed part III. I would definitely put it in my list of Top 50 horror film. The fourth installment is now in production, actually a prequel to "The Exorcist" about Father Merrin's first encounter with the demons of Hell. Again, anything that you can add to this page, please e-mail. The film begins in Iraq where we are introduced to Father Merrin. While on a archaeological dig, he feels the call of battle. It seems the dark lord wants a rematch (see "Exorcist II: The Heretic" for more info on their past encounters). But where will this battle take place??? Little Regan seems to have a new friend, Captain Howdy (aka "Satan's Minions") and he doesn't want to play nice. Strange things are a mist at the McNeil household. After a battery of very painful test and being labeled a complete lunatic, they realize that Regan isn't quite herself. When all else fails turn to the church, right??? That when a priest who at the time is questioning his own faith, is called in to do battle with the demons of Hell. He is joined later by Father Merrin, a seasoned pro when it comes to sparring with Beelzebub. Holy water and green puke fly from every imaginable angle as this battle of good and evil rages. In the end who is the real winner? A great movie that makes us all question our faithful or faithless lives. Great effects (legendary green puke, spinning head, etc). The score is outstanding. One of the best ever. Overall, one of the most complete and entrancing horror films to all time...
