This movie is the first movie I ever saw that was so realistic about demons. It also had a good ending. This director did alot of research about demons and went to extremes to make it what it is.... Full review

I know, people get freaked out by the movie....Aside from the stylish, well-paced direction from William Friedkin and the sterling, you-are-there cinematography by Owen Roizman, the best parts of The Exorcist are the quirky supporting performances.....the image of poor young Linda Blair speaking with the Devil's voice is admittedly quite creepy.....Though his final act of sacrifice is almost ruined by the slightly cheesy special effects involved, Karras is a character you root for and sympathize.... ...

The infamously troubled actress followed The Exorcist with its sequel and continues to take roles in many frightening flicks.
