It is. In my case.
It represents the movie being made out of my greatest fears... h3llish demons.... spirits possessing...
As for a small review of the movie ( for those who haven\'t seen it ), let me tell you my friend\'s reactions when we watched the movie last night.
WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!
Friday night. 00:00 O\'clock. Exorcist DVD
It was complete darkness: I wouldn\'t allow any light anywhere. Only us in the big house ( and 2 cats ); nobody else.
We started watching. I had seen the movie earlier, so the shock-reaction wasn\'t as big for me, but my friend... well, read on.
First, the movie was what it was and my friend had doubts towards it. "Is this so scary as you said? Well, I see nothing scary in this at all! And this is so old.. how can this be scary?" :) Well, I smiled. I smiled an evil grin to be exact.
We continued watching.
Well, my friend is quite weak-minded; and he had his first shock in the movie when girl\'s bed was shaking. All this screaming into the silent darkness... "Whew" he said when the scene was over.
Well, he got shocked even more when the girl was shaking violently in her bed, and panicked completely when he saw the girl\'s eyes to turn up suddenly, revealing nothing but white eye-balls. He refused to wacth and I had to make him watch, and eventually he did.
The next shock wasn\'t because of the movie, but our cat, as the cat jumped suddenly to our couch. cats are silent, and it shocked us both. Calming down, then continuing to wacth.
The next scene; the masturbation with the crusifix, got my friend shocked literally BIG TIME. Well, I didn\'t like the scene either, but I laughed evilly when I saw the reaction in my friend. "No! I don\'t want to watch this! Oh my god! Stop! Pause".
I asked: "What\'s the matter?"
"Um... I need to go to WC."
Before the end of the movie my friend had a complete nerve-breakdown. Then he just watched the end of the film without problems, smiling peacefully.
But afterwards, he had no doubts it was the scariest film of all time; and he wanted to watch it again. He just replied calmly:
"I was shocked so bad I had never felt such fear in my life. Now that I have experienced it, I know how it feels, and I know I won\'t experience anything like it again. So watching the movie again isn\'t an impossibility".
END OF SPOILER ALERT!
I heartfully recommend this to everyone who loves horror-movies.
But I don\'t recommend this to the faint-hearted, as I\'ve heard someones to really FAINT in the middle of the movie... and prepare for shocks of your life...
-
I saw it but I only saw it recently.
I think it was good for its time but not now...I think if I had of watched it during its appropriate era I would of enjoyed it more.
-
The Blair Witch Project scared me worse than any othor movie I have ever seen. Something about the woods is just really frightning to me.
But Blair Witch 2 sucked big ol donkey balls
-
When I was a child I was scared of the dark and movies like that. Now I almost laugh inside when I watch movies like that. It doesn\'t scare me one bit, but I agree that at the time of making it must have been very scary indeed. But nowadays most people have seen every \'scare-trick\' in movies so they aren\'t so easily scared. The last time I was scared about something in TV wasn\'t a movie, but a documentary about the unexplainable. It showed a house on the country where the animals died and the people heard knocking on the walls, the dog was scared, they heard other noises etc. It was actually quite scary to hear about because it was (supposedly) real, not just some multimillion Hollywood movie.
But personally I think psychological movies have a greater chance of scaring people than the gore fests. Those splatter movies just make you laugh because they look so comical, whereas the psychological movies have a better chance at making you shiver.

Gone in 69 seconds? :) Anyway the one of the scariest movies I had seen would be the original Nightmere on Elm. Street. I was very little at the time while seeing it, but it scared me to death. It seems like the more scary movies you watch, the less affected by them you are. That is what has happened to me anyway.
-
The exorcist is most probably the most scary movie ever due to references to the devil and its depictaion of grossness :)
Though the first time I saw Halloween it scared the crap outta me. As you can see from my pic im a freak towards that movie and its sequels..
-
ahh, the exorcist, brilliant movie, one of my personal fav\'s...while it didnt really have the current standards in being scary i.e. Scream and every other teen slasher...it does have something very few films can accomplish, creepyness, i.e. Silence of the Lambs
is it the scariest ever...well, i would have to say yes...for its time, definately, and for todays standards...well...todays movies dont scare
IMO, its the best horror/thriller ever with only SotL and the original Halloween coming close (even though my fav. movie is Aliens, that counts more of an action, even though it does have elements of contemporary horror and Creepy horror :D)
-
Excorcist was way before its time, just like Halloween was, which is why it was so scarey. And has neither movie have been matched by a modern sequel or what not.
Still, I perfer the original Excorcist to the new "Version you\'ve never seen".....Blah@ that!!!
-
Living in Clip: I hope I can agree as I have the original edition and I haven\'t seen the "New Version". I thought spending 8 bucks just to see 11 minutes of new footage was a complete waste of money. Be the money as scary as it wants :)
Of course it doesn\'t scare the cr4p to my pants anymore, but it was really shocking the first time. Now I just enjoy to watch it with my friends to see their reactions...
But speaking of Halloween; and I think the first one is the best; it was scary. It wasn\'t just an ordinary splatter like I thought.. there is something really scary in Michael...
I agree with Samwise also here, as the splatters are usually too cartoony to even shock you because of the violence shown. They never scare you ( except I\'ve heard Braindead is one helluva shocker... well, it got my interests up towards that movie :) ). But they make you laugh ;)
I watched the Entity last night. It was a [para]psychological thriller/horror movie; it told about a woman being raped over and over by an unknown force. As a movie, it was nothing, but as a story.. it was really interesting.
Because it was true story. And there are proofs to it. Believe it? Well, it\'s your opinion. I can\'t decide. Yet...
Btw. anyone seen that movie?

Michael is the "the boogie man". The guy who is never ending and never stops. Has no emotion. And your not sure why, but he is there to kill you. Thats why he is scarey.;)
I have saw the Entity, and the first parts are true . The ending and what not was obviously fake. But also, it is hard to believe it was at all true. The AmityVille Horror--while a good movie, was suppose to be "true", but has been proven to be false and even parts made up for dramatical purposes. So, take the "This is based off a true story" statement very lightly.
I\'m a huge horror buff, as I\'ve got around 100+ horror movies on VHS--I need to start working on my horror movie DVD collection.

-
I didn\'t find the Excorcist frightning at all. I thought it was more disgusting than anything. The crucifix.....?
-
You know, ps2gamer... the discussing scene involving the crusifix.
SPOILER ALERT!
The scene where the mother runs upstairs and sees the things flying around the room. And then the crusifix is being shot, as the demon masturbates with it shouting "F*ck me Jesus, f*ck me!". It\'s discussing, the seconds afterwards are discussing... y-y-y-yikes :)
END OF SPOILER ALERT
if you have seen the movie you\'ll probaply remember that scene ;)
Another very scary detailn in Exorcist is ( according to my friend as well ), when the vampire-like head flashes only few times in the screen ( just SUDDENLY out of nowhere ). It isn\'t on the screen for so long you could tell what it looks like, but it gives you the creeps...
-
Hell, I just remembered a quite scary movie - at least at the time I saw it. Pet Cemetary 2... That dead dog with the glowing eyes... It was creepy.
Oh and Sleepwalkers is a cool movie. I could hear that theme when I went to bed I thought of the movie and couldn\'t sleep (I wasn\'t so old at the time). :)
-
Samwise:
I actually remember watching Pet Semetery 2 some time ago... and I remember the dog :) I overally liked the movie, but didn\'t think it was so scary then.
And if you mean Stephen King\'s Sleepwalkers, then I may agree that the theme keeps playing in your head, but the movie wasn\'t SO scary after all... it was still an enternain \'tho. With the cats and all...
Have you, Samwise, seen the Child\'s Play trilogy? It\'s kinda good... I should post a thread of it on the favourite Horror movies -thread, but I may rethink. Does it belong to my fav. horror-movies list or not? Depends... The 1st and second one are good, but I didn\'t like the 3rd one, and I hated Bride of Chucky! Don\'t ask me why, but I think it was just a cash-in...
-
i didnt find exorcist scary at all.
in fact i thought it was a bit boring, I have yet to watch the blair witch project but i reckon it will be a lot better than EX (hmm maybe ill rent the DVD AT WEEKEND).
The only real movies that make me jump are the alien series, hmm that sigorny weaver. ahaha sigorny, what a first name eh.
-
EXORCIST IS NOT SCARY!!!!!!!
THE EXORCIST IS FUNNY
ESPECIALLY WHEN HER HEAD TURNS ROUND :nut:
HAHAHAHAHA :laughing:
HOW CAN U SAY IT IS SCARY THATS JUST ****IN BULL**** IT NEVER MADE ME SCARED
THAT GREEN STUFF SHE PUKES OUT IS JUST SOME STRANGE ****IN SOUP AT IT LOOKS DODGY ASWELL
TRUE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARY WHEN IT WAS MADE BUT NOW????
I THINK NOT
-
LMAO now that it hink about it, that part is funny :p, and darth ol pal, she says :
LET JESUS **** YOU!, LET JESUS **** YOU!
not what you said int he post above, thats just dirty..
-
yea all i know is that movie is messed up
and when you are a kid and you watch it alone in the dark it will scare the **** out of you
i mean to me this movie is one of the best horror movies of all time
-
How can you find this movie funny? :)
I know why:
You\'re so scared, that after you\'ve sh1t and peed your pants ( or you could be SO frightened you couldn\'t even dirt your pants! ), and watched awhile, you break into h3llish laughter. And everytime you watch the movie again, makes it feel like a comedy.
Just agree with me: You were TOO scared not to laugh! You know, that often human beings, when in great trouble, heavily stressed, or really scary, burst into laughter. They laugh to the situation. They laugh to the madness of life. Like you did.
Sorry \'bout my dirty quotes, but I thought I remembered the scene correctly... ;)
You\'re just too shamed to agree you were scared...
just kidding :D
But the movie IS scary to some. It\'s about the fears too. If you fear excorsism, if you fear you could be possessed; if you\'re afraid of the demons, if you hear strange noices at night.. if you\'re afraid of the darkness. Then the movie IS scary. If you, however, preferr the fear of getting killed, I couldn\'t think why Halloween couldn\'t be 10 times scarier than Excorsist...
It\'s all a matter of taste. That\'s why I did this "experiment", or am doing it still. This movie just hits my horror-spot.
-
The Blair Witch Project scared me worse than any othor movie I have ever seen. Something about the woods is just really frightning to me.
How is that scary?You dont even see the blair witch!You just hear noises and they run.The scariest part is when the girl has snot coming out of her nose!The scariest movie of all time is the new exorsist. the thing that scared me about it was when the lights went out you could always see that freaky mask.The statue thing also scared me too.But one funny thing about it is that she got possesed by Cpt. Howdy! ;)
-
She just called the spirit Mr. Howdy ;)
And Cloud; to many, the scary thing in Blair Witch IS the fact that you can\'t see the Witch, but you can feel her presence. It mirrors the fears of real camping on woods, when it\'s dark, and you can hear all those sounds...
The feeling just is SO real that it freakes you out. Or that\'s what it did to me ;)
The scariest part of the movie without a doubt was the panic-scene. It was so real. The actors... brilliant. But the way they made the film is the most interesting \'story\' in itself.
Do you know why the acting and responses to the events are so real?
They really got scared. They had a planned route on the woods, and the movie-crew abandoned them in the forest. They really were 6 days without a good meal! They found plastic bags along their way with new films to their cameras, some food and toilet-paper. Then the sounds were made by the camera-crew some distance away the actor\'s tent. The actors actually never saw the crew when shooting the movie. This system has been the most unique, and is unique only once. If they\'d try to do another Blair Witch ( oh my god, they did! ), it\'d suck 4ss ( and you know what? it did! :) ).
---
And did I tell you about the movie Jacob\'s Ladder? Well, it\'s scary. The atmosphere is haunting. The scariest parts of the movies are the beginning, for instance, to anybody ever used metro. The lights go out... some ghost-looking passengers watching you.... Well, you gotta see it yourself! Let me just warn you... there\'s this one scene wich\'ll shock you to jump to the ceiling. I\'m not kidding here ;)
--
And Poltergeist. While it\'s kinda good and entertaining movie, it never got up to match with the Excorsist. It felt "made", unlike Exorcist. But there\'s few scary scenes \'tho... I still recommend this movie. See it ;)
-
I went to see the Exorcist with SmallLady some time ago. I thought it was funny too, actually. It was just so silly... stupid somehow. didn\'t scare me one bit, bah.
Poltergeist and The Fly (the newer one) scared me the most of any movies, I think. But I was like 9 or something.
Silent Hill still remains in its well-deserved top 1 spot for the most freakiest and scariest thing in my books.
-
Scariest Move (To Quote The Movie "Scream"): SHOWGIRLS!!!
*Brrrrrrrrr*
Absolutely horrific.
-
my scariest show was not a movie, but a mini-series. Stephen King\'s It scared the crap out of me like no other thing on earth.
I was like 6 the first time I saw it on TV, and I was never fond of clowns before it (thanks to Pee Wee\'s Big Adventure) and was scared crapless after.
Go rent it if you can, as it was quite freaky back then.

-
Clowns are so goddamn scary. They\'ve always been... with those horrible squirting flowers, grins that are either too happy-looking or just pure eeeevilll... Thank god Silent Hill didn\'t have any clowns. I probably would\'ve had a heart attack...
Alone in the Dark 2 got that clown in the attic... I was so scared of him I had to take a few days off from the game every time I was about to go up there.
I\'ve never seen King\'s It. I\'ve seen the VHS case many times and that\'s enough to freak me out. I didn\'t know there\'s a TV series based on it too... I gotta go rent that film someday.
Speaking of Its\', I loved Carpenter\'s The Thing (err, that might not make sense to you guys out there, but oddly in Finland these two movies share the same name, "Se", which means "It", and blarblarblar). The movie was a bit on the corny side with the spiderheads and all, but the paranoia stirred by the uncertainty and the seclusion of the place of events... classic stuff imo.
The Shining was also a nice movie, not that scary nor freaky, but the TV series remake of the movie was quite cool. It was somehow oddly involving and forced me to watch every episode religiously though the initial episode seemed kinda daft.
And, oh yes, Alien. I was just a little kid when I thought of seeing this one. I forgot it was on and was looking at cartoons when I remembered the damn movie. I swithced the channel... just to see that cute and cuddly phlegm-spewing baby alien burst out of someone\'s chest. I switched back to the cartoons and tried to forget what I just saw. It took some 5 years before I finally saw the film in whole. And I loved every second of it. Aliens was too action-oriented (great as a blast-fest, indeed, but I\'d wish for something more too), Alien³ was too slow imo, and Resurrection just plain SUCKED (can\'t stress that word enough).
*awww, Lady just sent me a sweet message...*
Err... kinda lost my train of thought there...
**soft, fluffy thoughts**
Well, over and out for now :)
-
I saw this movie when it first came out and it scared us to death. So much so I had to sleep with the lights on that night. Even now years later I cant watch this film without some feelings. By far the scary movie of all time.

Sorry Jiggs, but no spams here okay?
Just kidding. It isn\'t my job to warn you about spamming.
Ah, Clowns. I truly agree with you Hawke. Those devilish, "supposed-to-be-nice-and-funny", smiling DEMONS make me scared. Frightened. That\'s why I loved Stephen King\'s It -books. The best damn horror-books ever written!
Don\'t watch any TV-serie of IT, read the books ( IT and IT 2 ) - they\'re far better than the movie wich freaked you out. Actually, the movie was like a picnic in the park after the books... :)
I remember the times when my pals ( when I was little ) always talked about Alien and how SCARY it is. I remember the times when I first saw AlienS ( oh yes, that\'s the Alien Second, like we called it :) ) at my friends; of course secretly as my parents had forbidden the movie from me, and how it was so COOL and so SCARY.
But I heard that in Exorcist 3, there\'s this shocking scene ( those who have problems with their heart avoid the movie! ) when inside a dark church ( it\'s stormy night actually ) a Madonna-statue suddenly turns into an evil clown-statue and back. Like a flash.
Those flash-kindof moments are the scariest in movies, I think. When an evil and scary face just pops out of nowhere and disappears before you even registered the happening. Just like in Exorcist, when the priest crosses the road and the crusifix falls to the ground, and the vampire-like face flashes couple of times. It drove my friend near the pits of madness.
-
dang don\'t even talk about clowns
those things always scare the **** out of me - even the almost comical, "Killer Clowns from Outerspace" scared me. I always hated the circus too - take one guess why. yea and hawke you should really rent Steven Kins\'s "It" , that movie is freaky as hell - well most of King\'s flicks are though, but i fyou hate clowns then this movie will defintely show you why.
uhhhh... get chills thinking about those happy faced horrors
-
I am scared of Clowns also. Last one I saw, I gave the finger . I was in the mall and this clown was doing all sort of weird clown acts and it freaked me out. So, I gave him the finger and walked away.
"IT" is a good movie the first half, the second half really sucks though.
I recommend not even watching the second half.
-
That movie didnt really scare me. "TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON NIGHT" scared me.....i saw that when i was 12 (i think).
-
The movie "IT" was lame. It wasn\'t scary. It wasn\'t even brutal. It was much worse and much lighter than the books.
So why everyone babbling still about the movie and not about the book?
Didn\'t I recommend you to read the books, especially if you\'re into horror and clowns?
BTW. I think the fear of clowns leads its roots to our childhood. What a nice evil thought to turn the all-loved childrens clown into a frightening demon... BWAHAHAHAHAHA...
Read the Exorcist book ( I can\'t remember the author, goddamnit! - but I think you can search the author when you go to amazon.com and just search for Exorcist ), I havent, but I will. I think it\'ll be scary as h3ll...
So, I\'ve heard Blair Witch 2 sucks major arse. Is this the truth?
-
The Exorcist is by FAR the most scary movie ever made.
I know this is pure opinon but it was just voted scariest movie of all time last year.
Thats a pretty good majority of people who agree.
Thats also pretty good, factoring how old the movie is and all.
It was WAY before its time.
Another movie you might like is "The serpent and the rainbow" I think that is the movie I am thinking of. It;s kind of scarry like that. it has Alice Cooper in it too.
G.
-
Yes, the Exorcist was, indeed, voted as the scariest movie of all time last year :)
Has anyone seen its sequels, the Exorsict II: Heretic, and the Exorcist III? I haven\'t, but I soon will... as I saw them at my local movie-renter ;) - I just hope they\'re not "forced-to-be-made", as just pure cash-ins, but original and scary like the first one.
If anyone has seen them, I would want to get some recommendations.
I read these stories about people fainting on movie-theaters over this movie, as it was ahead of its time so much. It HAD to be REALLY S-C-A-R-Y when it came out... :)
