Watched this film the other night for the first time ever.
It was excellent. But it did not scare me in the least,
perhaps because I am a thoroughgoing atheist/sceptic. The
special effects were truly amazing, esp. for the time.
Freidkin has always been one of my favorite directors anyway.
He made a little gem of a movie called "Sorcerer", about 4
guys who have to haul a load of dynamite thru the jungle to
a oil well site. If you haven't seen it, look for it. Quite
good. Mike
While it may not have scared you as an atheist/adult you must admit it, along w/ Rosemary's Baby, it's vastly superior to the so-called "horror masters" of today: Wes Craven, John Carpenter etc. The Scream series is great if you're 12 or 13.
I too was not frightened, perhaps because I was an adult, plus I was
stoned at the time; got a big laugh when Regan's head did a 360! I do
believe I woulda been scared witless if I had been a child, however. There
were startling, even shocking moments, but not frightening in the Exorcist.
Read the Blatty novel too, which was also good. The movie was voted scariest of all horror movies in a recent British poll.
Incidentally in the same theater around the same time period, I saw
"Friday the 13th, 3-D";got a big laugh from the 3-d effects, especially
when Jason squeezed a dude's head and his eyeballs popped out of his
head AND out from the screen into the theater!
