The Exorcist

1973· R· 2h 2m· Horror

Something almost beyond comprehension is happening to a girl on this street, in this house…And a man has been sent for as a last resort. This man is The Exorcist.

William Friedkin's 1973 horror classic sees a possessed girl's frantic mother turn to a pair of skeptical priests for salvation. The film's claustrophobic atmosphere and visceral dread stem from its unflinching portrayal of demonic possession, rendered with technical precision and a relentless assault on the senses. With Linda Blair's iconic performance as Regan, and the incantations of Max von Sydow and Jason Miller as the exorcists, "The Exorcist" is a chilling testament to the power of faith and fear.
