The Exorcist

So my first trip to the horror fest at the Broadway Theatre was pretty interesting. I was completely stoked to be going to see The Exorcist for the first time. We got there and there was a good sized audience, which made me even more excited. I love it when people go out to see older movies in theatre.
The first twenty minutes was a little dry. Following that old man through the desert with very little dialogue didn't really seem relevent, plus it was kinda boring. Even though it was a little boring I was still intrigued. Then the excitement level, rose pretty high in the final scene of the desert part of the movie. The statue, the exhusted and a little frightened old man, and not to mention the crazy barking dogs.
Then the story switches to the mother-daughter family of the MacNeils, Chris & Regan. Watching Regan slowly become taken over by this demon was so fascinating. And right when it got to be extrodinary the film burned up. Yep, it burned up. I WAS PISSED. I was forced to go home without knowing what happens next. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE? Well, let me tell you it is not pleasant, not at all. For the rest of the week I couldn't concentrate at all. I needed to finish that movie. I was bound and determined. By the end of the week I had an Exoricst party. I forced everyone to sit down and finish what we had started.
I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it so I won't go into how it ends, although its not that hard to guess what does. I just want to say that this was an extremely satisfying horror film, well it was more than just an extremely satisfying horror film, it was an extremely satisfying film in all. In every aspect: the acting, the writing, the directing, the special-effects. The Exorcist is one of those movies that makes you think long after you finish watching it. It stays in your mind and you go over it again and again. And let me tell you, every time you go over it it becomes a better movie. You appreciate it a little bit more. We need more movies like The Exorcist.
