Wow, what a great movie... just watched this, and it was quite intense... I had seen it before, but it was on tv with commercial breaks, and I didn't give it my full attention... this time I did... I'm home alone, turned off all the lights, and damn, it was great... I sure hope the new prequel thing doesn't suck...
Gonna listen to Tubular Bells now! :)

that's cool that you liked it, even so many years after its release.
i thought it was way overrated. not scared at all. i've explored Catholicism thoroughly, and i still think the whole concept of Christ is ludicrous. the movie is really a comedy if you're not a Catholic.

let me rephrase - the concept of Christ is real - but to take his resurrection and the New Testament LITERALLY is sacrilege to your mind.

yeah, i pretty much laughed at the whole thing, which was a long time ago. maybe it would be scary if you watched it alone.

Some bits were creepy, a single shot scared me (the ghost of the priest's mother on the bed), but other than that, a great comedy!

The spider crawl wasn't in the original. The scary thing about the film is how this little girl had them all duped that this religious mumbo jumbo was real.

Weird how any random thread can have elements of an attack on that "evil" religion Christianity.
If you researched excorcisms and possession on google you'd see a LOT of people who claim to experience such phenomina. But then, they might all be deluded mexicans.

I've just always been fascinated with this type of stuff... I'm not really going to come out and say whether I think it's true or not, cause I don't know... and neither does anyone else here, no matter how sure of themselves they try to appear... but I still think it's a interesting and cool thing... and it's scary to me cause I've been raised in a religious family, going to church and all this, and have always been taught that demons exist... so, whether they do or not, this type of stuff will always strike a cord with me...
but I thought it was a good movie anyways... the first time I was left with a feeling that the effects were lame, ruining the experience... but this time I thought the effects looked fine... I just thought it was very good!

the movie is loosely based on a true event. about a young boy though. and he was schizophrenic or it was a prank or something i don't remember.

I can't see what is evil about the teachings of Christ. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
Yes, I can see what is evil about the OLD testament. But then again, that written by a bunch of crazy ancients. The New Testament's teachings are wonderful, and Christians are meant to follow Christ's teachings on love, not the insanely weird Law of the Old Testament. Ergo, Christianity isn't evil.

i decided to watch the exorcist again (i really do like the concept) and was very disappointed. It wasn't scary, it wasn't interesting and the acting was barely tolerable..."other than that it was a great movie"
I think the movie was better when it was all grainy and bad quality, not this remastered bull hockey.

i like the bit when the little girl pees on the floor in front of the guests. i think that was what scared me as a nipper when i watched it.

Yay, more Christian bashing, always fun. I liked this movie, but it routinely tops ''scariest movies ever'' list, which isn't true... so the first time I saw it, I was a bit disapointed and underwhelmed. A solid horror film with a disturbing premise, either way.

I thought this was one of the most dull films I'd ever seen. It had all the atmosphere of a limp 80s disco in Norwich.
