90596, Finally watched the Exorcist...
Posted by Pamalama, Tue Oct-25-11 11:09 AM
It started really slow, so I fell asleep on it the first time I tried to watch it, but picked up towards the middle. I tried watching it at night, but couldn't. Had to turn up the volume because the actors were speaking so low, but the sound effects were really loud. As a result, my kids are calling me from their rooms all scared and shit because the can hear the scary noises, so I ended up watching it during the day. It was still effective even with the sun up. I can see it being a top 10 contender. I'm going to read the book as someone recommended.

It would not surprise me if Linda Blair was currently strung out on drugs and in constant therapy. I'm always amazed at movies like this using kids. If adults are scared from watching, what psychological effects does it have on the kids participating in the movie production?
