Watched the original theatrical version on VHS back in the 80's.Come the 90's I watched the directors cut at my local cinema which was fantastic. Then came the dvd release with the brilliant must see Fear Of God documentary packaged with it.To this day it's still the best scary movie ever made, purely because of the atmosphere in the movie along with the story itself unfolding.

The Exorcist (1973) is a purely beautiful film at the best of on-screen moments and even more so in this extended version. Within this film, yes there is horror and very shocking and disturbing moments, yet there is also so much Hope to be seen. Everyone who sees this film finds their own interpretation of on-screen events. Director William Friedkin and original source novelist William Peter Blatty, together with all of this film's exemplary actresses and actors, created a wonderful modern day parable of in film director Friedkin's apt words: "the mystery of faith". An ultimately uplifting masterpiece, beautifully lensed by cinematographer Owen Roizman.
