Egzorcysta Ratings & Reviews
- Aaron Slade13 stycznia 2025Perfect! The best horror film ever - and possibly just best film ever.... Period !!! The cinemaphotography is out of this world, the mood set by the lighting, the acting is amazing... everything just worked. Every horror film that has come out since, is measured against The Exorcist. So far, none have come close to surpassing it.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ30 marca 2026Stunning visuals, effects and overall horror for 1973. The characters are very strongly portrayed and the feeling of hopelessness is ever-present throughout the movie. Even though some scenes are outright shocking and provocative, there is also a strong element of the uncanny present. This is a very haunting movie that still shocks, amazes and intrigues after all these years.
- johnrodan8 marca 2026An inflection point in horror at the intersection of science, faith and modernity. Face to face with our demons. 👹
- MR_BigTime7 września 2025I have just re-watched The Exorcist in 2025. That's 52 years since its release. It may not be perfect, but it comes pretty damn close, in my opinion. I will say it holds up to a large majority of the movies of the genre to this day. The acting alone was superb, and the special effects, simple as they look today, were pretty revolutionary in its time. This is a movie by which I measure other suspense/horror films.
- CravanThePugilist5 listopada 2025I first saw this when I was 18. I'd already had hundreds of horror films under my belt. I thought this would be old, & disappointing. Nah. This movie transcends the horror genre entirely. This movie truly struck me in a similar way The Godfather did. It's like that to me.
- Elliot0478 lutego 2026It is surprising to see how exceptionally well this film is. People would have been shit scared back in the 70s. However, I'm coming from the age of Babadook, The VVich, and Conjuring, if you're operating at that level, this will be like an ice cream, a delicious ice cream, but not the dinner. Kudos to the Director for inspiring a future generation of filmmakers and setting a trend.
- Michael Heimgartner15 lipca 2025The Power of Christ compels you! I just finished reading William Peter Blatty’s novel and immediately rewatched The Exorcist in its Director’s Cut - and honestly, I’m in awe of how precisely and faithfully the film adapts that book. It’s even more surprising when you remember just how shocking and vulgar the novel was for its time. Seeing it translated to screen with so much respect for the source material while adding its own chilling atmosphere really drives home how rare this kind of adaptation is. For me, The Exorcist is the perfect horror film. I don’t say that lightly. Every single element is so meticulously crafted, so masterfully realized. From the first minute, it’s immersive, unsettling, and impossible to look away from. The atmosphere is oppressive and dread-inducing without ever resorting to cheap tricks. Friedkin’s direction is careful and deliberate, letting the horror seep in slowly rather than hitting you over the head. Even now, decades later, the film retains a raw power that most modern horror can’t touch. What makes it even more impressive is how it balances multiple storylines without ever feeling scattered or unfocused. Friedkin weaves these threads together with precision. Regan’s possession is the anchor, of course, but it isn’t the entire story. It’s the catalyst for examining faith, doubt, grief, and the limits of human understanding. Father Karras’s crisis of faith is every bit as important as the exorcism itself, and Friedkin gives these quieter, more introspective moments just as much weight as the scenes of supernatural terror. It’s also astonishing how patient the film is. You don’t even hear that iconic piece of music, Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells,” until about fifteen minutes in - after all the major characters have been introduced and before the real horror begins to reveal itself. The film takes its time establishing its world and its people, letting us really know and understand them before tearing everything apart. That sort of quiet, confident storytelling is all but extinct in mainstream horror now. And the performances - what can you even say? Ellen Burstyn is phenomenal, bringing a raw, maternal desperation that grounds the entire film. Jason Miller as Father Karras delivers a performance that is painfully human, wrestling with guilt and doubt in a way that feels so authentic. Max von Sydow’s restrained, weary gravitas as Father Merrin is unforgettable, even if he’s only truly on screen for about twenty minutes. It’s a testament to how carefully the film deploys its most iconic elements. Technically, it’s also flawless. The sound design is chillingly effective, from the quiet creaks and groans of the house to the demonic growls that seem to come from nowhere. Dick Smith’s makeup work remains legendary for good reason, giving us some of the most disturbing, realistic possession effects ever filmed. Even the editing choices - sometimes sharp and disorienting, sometimes calm and lingering - serve to keep the viewer off-balance. It’s fascinating that Friedkin deliberately used such minimal scoring. For almost the entire film, there’s no traditional soundtrack at all, which makes the few moments of music all the more jarring and memorable. That choice amplifies the sense of realism, as though you’re watching something truly happening. The film also had an incredible cultural impact. Warner Bros. famously marketed it as “the scariest film of all time,” and by box office receipts - adjusted for inflation - it remains one of the most financially successful horror films ever made, grossing an estimated 2.5 to 3.2 billion USD worldwide. It was a genuine phenomenon, with audiences reportedly fainting or fleeing theaters during screenings. Critics at the time were divided, but many recognized its brilliance even then, and today it's widely accepted as one of the smartest, most thoughtful horror films ever made. It earned ten Oscar nominations and won two - a rare feat for the genre. William Peter Blatty’s original novel was itself inspired by a supposedly real exorcism that took place in the 1940s in the U.S., which adds another layer of unsettling authenticity to the story. Friedkin, already celebrated for The French Connection, approached this material with a kind of documentary intensity that makes it feel uncomfortably real. Sure, you can say the film’s shock value has aged. Today’s audiences might not flinch at the same scenes that once caused mass panic. But that misses the point entirely. The true brilliance of The Exorcist isn’t in its shock tactics - it’s in its exploration of faith versus reason, of parental terror and human frailty in the face of something unknowable. It’s about the existential horror that lingers long after the pea soup and the levitating bed are gone. Even after all these years, The Exorcist remains an absolute masterpiece of horror cinema. It’s intelligent, unsettling, masterfully acted and directed, and still capable of getting under your skin in a way very few films ever do. It doesn’t just scare you - it challenges you, disturbs you, and forces you to confront things you’d rather not think about. For me, it’s the gold standard for the genre.
- Otacon!2 lutego 2026Anyone knows this movie, maybe someone hasn't watched it and maybe doesn't love scary movies, but it's a classic. A good one from 70'. For the time must have been, as someone has told, a trauma. I love it. It's impressive the interpretation too, for a young Blaire, I love it
- parcolan3 lipca 2025top ten
- mickerdoo22 stycznia 2026Objective complete. Cannot finish. Too scared.
- kenngineer22 czerwca 2025i would always commend and have this movie as one of my standards in critiquing horror movies. it is plainly scary. and i do not use "plain" in the negative context. plainly scary means the movie does not rely on jump scares (as most horror movies do nowadays) to be scary. great stuff.
- colin klich27 października 2025Who are these exorcist dick riders in the comments?! Did we watch the same movie?! I hated it. The plot is ridiculously slow and the horror movie tropes are so undeveloped that it’s hard to even call it a horror movie. I understand that this is basically the first horror movie so that is to be expected but I find in inconceivable that people are comparing this to modern horror and rating it so much higher. There’s absolutely nothing scary about the movie. Cinematography…idgaf. Acting…it’s fantastic…for the 70s. I almost didn’t finish it I was so bored. Dog water movie
- carlin_9815 października 2025Trippy stuff
- dmilewicz8 października 2025Best demonic possession movie ever! Much better than "The Conjuring" series ....
- Theo Jansson12 maja 2025Sure good cinematography, but scariest movie of all time? God No, but overall, good acting and use of cameras and music
