The Exorcist
Directed by William Friedkin. US. 1973. R. 122 min. Warner Bros. 35mm.
- Sun, Oct 16, 2:00 pm
Heads turn when twelve-year-old Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) enters a room. Or at least hers does, after her body is taken over by the devil in this horrifying adaptation of William Peter Blattyʼs sensational best-selling novel. A very controversial film in its time, The Exorcist has lost none of its ability to shock, scare and, at times, repulse – this despite the fact that it has inspired innumerable imitations, sequels and gross-out spectacles over the years.
