The Exorcist | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Perhaps the most influential American horror movie ever made, The Exorcist was a Rorschach test when it came out. Fifty years later, it still sticks with us.

The scariest movie ever made...

This film's ponderings about the nature of good and evil still merit consideration today. It also features some wonderful performances from Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow and, especially, a then pre-adolescent Linda Blair.

The movie moves at a pace that is unheard of today; a good hour and a quarter pass before the word "exorcism" is even mentioned. Yet it weaves a frightening spell right from the get-go.

The Exorcist remains an exceptionally well-made, thoughtful film, enacted by a first-rate cast and displaying an almost masterful interplay between the humdrum and the horrific.
