The Exorcist - Review

Don't Shoot Me! Please! Let me explain! Okay. I don't do horror movies because I'm a whimp. Plain and simple. Although, being a film student, I felt like I had to see this one. On the DVD cover of my copy, it perfectly states, "The Scariest Movie Of All Time." So going into it, I wasn't too happy. What I got instead was one of the slowest movies I have ever seen. Although what is strange, is that it was intriguing. I wanted to keep watching right after that first pop-up of that weird scary face. I was also happy that the movie wasn't "that" scary. I was disturbing for sure, especially when the classic shot of her head turning all the way around came up, but nothing nightmare worthy. Overall, I was a bit dissappointed. If you are a horror fan, you've probably already seen this but if you like getting the creeps then this one is a classic to check out. It was just too slow for me.
