    Most scary part for me is that it takes place four blocks from where I grew up. I was only 2 when they made the movie but everyone talked about it. When I was about 14 I finally watched it. I could not go down those stairs for a very long time, despite it being the fastest way to M street. I was a full adult before I could go up or down the stairs at night. Ironically now those stairs are part of my exercise routine.

      I grew up near Georgetown too. My father was a Professor of Economics there. My sister got married in the church at Georgetown and I love that campus. When my older brothers and sisters went to see the film, when it came out (I was only 9), they came home freaked out! The house was a buzz from that film, for a few days afterwards, I remember that. I didn't see it until I was 16. Such a great movie! Exorcist III is also excellent!

Marrin pulls the statue's head out of the small hole). Pazuzu would offer you protection from other demons - hence the Evil against Evil comment. The lore surrounding Pazuzu is fascinating.

    The story is really about Father Karras. He's a guilt ridden priest who is questioning his faith.
    But then he is presented with something he can't explain with logic and in the end he commits
    the ultimate act of love by sacrificing his life to save someone he never met. Remember,
    he never met Reagan, he only met the demon.

    The demon, Pazuzu, was the Mesopotamian demon of the west wind. According to legend, he was so evil that even others demons were afraid of him.
    Blatty's novel was inspired by a true story of possession that happened to a young boy in the 1940s. The exorcism took weeks. The hospital where it happened has since been torn down and the boy grew up to become a scientist who worked for NASA although no one there knew of his story. He passed away several years ago.

    This movie came out the year I was born, and when I was 5 years old, my older sister was going to watch it at our house, so our mom told me to stay upstairs until the movie was over because it was too scary for me to watch. Of course, I eventually snuck downstairs to watch it, and I saw the part where Regen’s head spun around the first time. It scared me so much that I couldn’t run away, but I noticed that my younger brother was beside me, and just as terrified as I was. Our mom got mad at us, and told us to go to bed, but we were so scared that we’d be possessed that we wouldn’t go until her and our dad put every cross we had completely around our bedroom. I refused to watch the movie for around 10 years, and I finally rented the VHS tape, but my mom wouldn’t let me watch it because she was afraid that it would release some kind of evil. I couldn’t even have the book in the house, either.
    When the movie came out in theaters, there were so many stories of people passing out, vomiting, and running out of the theater, that ambulances were sitting outside many theaters, and there were also rumors that the number of people that thought they were possessed increased, as well.

    25:12 Merin saw the signs that were shown to him while he was in Iraq, the devil statue, the mini devil head made of stone and knew he had to come back to the states to fight the demon he already exorcised from some one in Africa years before. so he didn't "just happen" to be in the neighbourhood, he came here on purpose, waiting to see who was possessed. a great reaction to the Horror of all horrors! 👍

    You can watch actual reactions of people watching The Exorcist for the first time in the 1970s. Some loved it. Others thought it was horrible. Some people left. A few fainted. You can find it by doing a youtube search. It was a much worse exorcism than shown in the film since in the book Regan kept urinating and voiding her bowels in that stifling room making the priests ill. Showing the art was an example the Regan was also the one who did the sacrilege in the cathedral.

    What everyone misses about the movie is asked by Father Karras while he and Father Merrin sit outside her room between the exorcism sessions. The whole movie is asked and explained there and earlier.
    Father Karras asks, “…why this girl?” The demon had already answered this to Father Karras earlier. The demon wants to bring Father Karras to him. He also knows that Father Merrin will be coming.
    The demon wants both priests. He sets the whole stage for the exorcism AND gets to kill both priests. He just used Regan for his own means.

    • @johnboy32064

      Yes, both priests are dead at the end, but for Blatty, the author or the novel and screenplay, that isn’t the case that the demon won. I, too, for many years, thought the demon won. What other conclusion could be made?
      But here’s the thing. Father Karras’ faith WAS restored. He saved Regan, a girl he actually never met (in her possessed form, obviously). He sacrifices himself for this girl and while his friend Father Dyer reads him his last rights just before he dies, it’s clear his faith is restored. That is the indication that the demon didn’t win. You can research this if you don’t believe me.

    • @paulinegallagher7821
      @paulinegallagher7821 Před rokem +4

      The demon mocks Karras and calls him a faithless swine. His faith is restored at the end and he will go to heaven and be at peace, something he didn't feel in life as he was tortured by his lack of faith and guilt over his mother dying alone. Fr. Merrin was old and had a heart condition. He most likely knew the strain of this exorcism would seriously harm his health but he did it anyway. I dont think the demon cared about getting Karras, he was incidental and he only used his human frailty to attack him, like Merrin said he would. The demon knew that an exorcism would reunite him with Fr. Merrin, the only priest qualified to do it, and thats why he calls his name before he even gets to the house.

    I stood in lines around the block for hours to buy my ticket, sat in a sold-out, cold, & dark movie theatre, and the entire audience squirmed, squealed, & screamed throughout the movie. I heard NO LAUGHTER. This was 1973 (more religious people back then vs. than today) & movie fans NEVER saw ANYTHING like this before. It was a once in a lifetime experience for ALL movie fans. The tension was extremely INTENSE, unlike watching The Exorcist in the comfort of your well-lit, safe home. The devil was unable to enter Father Kerras until the devil tore it from his neck. So, it is best Regan has this necklace & her mother should make certain she always wears it, to protect her from the devil coming back. I enjoyed your reaction & watching this iconic movie with you. Thank you.

I was literally petrified and couldn't move or take my eyes off of the screen. I was traumatized for years after this. Finally, in about 1988, I saw the movie for a second time.

Wana bet they wont? Movies of the SEVENTIES, in general, are pretty hard-edged because THAT was the first decade that had the R and X rating.

    27:10 Even though the actor playing the older priest knew the foul dialogue Regan was about to say, when the young actress delivered that line, he stood there frozen in place,, silently for a few seconds and then said "umm...cut." He apologized to the director, he simply found it so jarring and shocking to hear that young actress using such horrible language. He forgot his lines.

    In the book, it was regan who put the crucifix underneath her bed during a period when the demon was not in control. She did it in a desperate attempt to protect herself. The demon deliberately planned to lure father merrin in a "rematch," after it was defeated by merrin when it was exorcized from a boy in africa ( which nearly killed merrin). So, it possessed a girl of a famous actress, which led to the initial contact with father karras, who served as the means to bring merrin to nrw york for a final battle. But by now, merrin was older with heart issues and died due to the stress of the ritual. The demon at first, was perplexed when merrin collapsed, but realized later it had "won" and began to laugh. Its final "victory" was when karras challenged the demon to possess him. Symbolicly, once the demon ripped the Saint Christopher medallion from karras (his faith in God was relinquished, and his protection was gone), the demon entered karras and exited his body right before karras committed suicide. BTW, the green muck regan was spewing was human bile (it was actually a mix of green peat soup and oatmeal). This is the only movie that freaked me out as a kid because it seemed that evil was more powerful than good and won in the end.

      I’m sorry but I’m not sure where you got the notion that Regan was the one who put the crucifix under her pillow. That’s simply not true nor is it in the novel. It remains a mystery how it got there, but according to Friedkin, it was probably Karl. But nobody knows. Furthermore Father Merrin was lured to Georgetown, Washington, DC for the final battle, not New York.

    Still the best horror movie of all time, even up for a best picture Oscar! The mom was actually permanently hurt from her fall in the bedroom. The girl actress has to have security for almost a year after it came out because people were convinced she was possessed! It's basically a rematch between marron and the demon he exorcized previously that almost killed him, but Marron won. The demon is an old school Persian demon, that ruled over much of the old northern Persia/Iraq area, a demon of mischief and possession. I don't remember it's name but before that name , it was called Ishtallah, then before that Marduke, before that, Baol!! The demons voice was done by an old school Hollywood voice over actress, who smoked and drank whiskey,daily. Orson Welles once called her the best voice actress, ever!

    What is important was the child was saved no matter how powerful the adversary . Both Priest sacrificed their lives was to save the child. And to offer once life to save others (to follow Christ's example,) is a sacred act which even the demon cannot win.
    It is also a story of the Priest whose faith was weakened bec of the tragic death of his mother. But later his faith was restored when he realized that he doesn't want the mother to experience his tragedy.
    The medalion (St Joseph's icon) is a Catholic thing. The image is a reminder to the faithful to think of Christ /God. In the opening scene on Iraq it implies that the demon has existed during primordial times. The presence of the medalion in Iraq implies that in the past Christian faithful has used the medalion as a protection against Evil. It should be noted that the possessed child/Megan has to ripped it off from the priest before the evil dpirit could possess him.
    Also the presence of the medalion in Iraq suggests that the battle between Good and Evil was the present even in the past.
