The Excorsist - Scariest movie of all time.

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  )

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...
