William Friedkin directs one of the most horrifying movies ever made. When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people begin to die, the girl's mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the devil--and that her daughter's only possible hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism.

It’s not only one of the best horror films ever made, it’s easily one of the silver screens finest features.

Sebastian Zavala Kahn

As much as it has been parodied and referenced and imitated millions of times, it is still one of the best horror movies ever made. Full review in Spanish.

The director's horrifyingly maintained assault of the viewer's senses and faith leaves the audience subject to devilish, claustrophobic torment that makes the resultant spiritual awakening all the more powerful.

It's actually kind of astonishing to me that the film still retains the power to shock and frighten a first-time viewer.

Scary then, scary still. Without a doubt one of the most frightening films ever made. [Full review in Spanish]
