“Why you do this to me, Dimmy?” His heart froze. “Why you do this?” The priest could not move, did not breathe, did not dare to glance over to that sorrowful voice, did not dare see those eyes really there: eyes accusing, eyes lonely. His mother. His mother! “You leave me to be priest, Dimmy; and send me institution….” Don’t look! “Now you chase me away?…” It’s not her! “Why you do this?…” His head throbbing, heart in his throat, Karras shut his eyes tightly as the voice grew imploring, grew frightened, grew, tearful. “You always good boy, Dimmy. Please! I am ‘fraid! Please no chase me outside, Dimmy! Please!” … not my mother! “Outside nothing! Only dark, Dimmy! Lonely!” Now tearful. “You’re not my mother!” Karras vehemently whispered. “Dimmy. please!…” Except from "The Exorcist" novel! Brilliant writing! Both in the book and in the film!
Wake Me Up Inside The acting was amazing partly because of the director. He pushed the actors hard to get the performances he wanted. He was going for realism, and used some really odd techniques like randomly firing off a gun on set, he also slapped one actor in the face just before a scene. He did stuff like this to startle them and shake them up. This caused real anxiety to come out in the performances. I think it was a nerve-wracking movie to make for the actors. They had to keep Regan's bedroom at freezing temps to get the foggy breath effect, since this was before CGI. Blair said she was absolutely freezing because she was only wearing a nightgown. She and Ellen Burstyn also both suffered back injuries while filming scenes. This is my favorite movie and I appreciate how much the actors gave their all to create this classic!
Idc what anybody says. This movie is the best horror movie ever. An amazingly beautiful and horrifying talent went into this. No movie can or ever will come close to touching this movie.
Dude I agree. Ive watched hundreds of horror films and id still rate this one as the scariest. Well there was one, an indie film on netflix called " the eyes of my mother" that was so scary I turned it off.
The movie was gut wrenching. Reading the book is even worse. With the imagery of the movie in my head, there are passages in the book that chilled me to the bone. William Peter Blatty wrote a masterpiece of horror.
I'm currently listening to the audiobook, unfortunately The Exorcist is not one of the hundreds of books I own, read by William Peter Blatty himself. It's really fantastic so far...only 2:40:00 in to an over 10 hr. reading.
Yes i used to tease the kids saying that one & the one from creepshow " it's father's day and i want my cake Bedelia" they'd run from me giggling the whole time. Lol
One of the best scenes..there's so much emotion in his voice when he says...your not my Mother!!!..Superb acting all around..Can you help an old alter boy father?..Chilling!!.😱👌
marc dewey This still blows my mind. Max Von Sydow was recently in Star Wars too now that he really is old. They could literally remake the exorcist today with him again and it would be as though they brought the actor back from the dead.
I saw this movie 30 years ago and “Dimi, why you do this to me?” is still in my head and how I ended up here finding this CZcams video - that’s….that’s brilliant moviemaking.
This is the most underrated scene in the whole movie, the clutches of the Pazuzu were wringing at Damien’s soul and spirit to carry on, this wasn’t the most vile thing the demon did in the movie but perhaps the most soul destroying thing he did, he manipulated Damien into feeling neglectful and a bad son to his ill mother. Very evil and very sad to see Damien a wreck, incredible movie 🙌
I had a guy "name" me as Pazuzu in Zanzibar once. I had a goatee beard (no mo) at the time. They can be very superstitious there. In the early 2000s people in the old Stone town slept outside their houses in fear of vampires. True!
A brutal horror , that is harrowing but totally captivating and mesmerizing at the same time,.....a classic horror that stands head and shoulders above anything else in the genre....a timeless masterpiece
Best movie ever...should of won Oscars for all the actors they were brilliant, especially Linda. Best Picture, best sound, screenplay....it didn't get the respect it deserved
From the darkest deepest scariest depths of genius writer William blattys imagination came the masterpiece The Exorcist, a frightening repulsive story of a demonic possession of a young girl. A story to shock, and unsettle, and leave your emotions raw and your soul bruised. Classically written, then adapted into a cinematic Horror Masterpiece .
Favorite movie of all time.. Linda Blair is not given enough credit for her performance in this movie..she was 13 yrs old for CSake!!!..she should of won award for what she was made to do...you won't see that happen again in movies..all the actors were outstanding in this movie..if they were B actors it would of fallen flat and been silly but all of them made this very believable
The Exorcist and only one other movie that truly trips me out and to be honest as a grown man scares me! Very very well done production and acting. The vibes of this movie make you feel you are truly watching a real exorcism taking place. The other movie would be The Shining! 🔥🔥🔥
I feel for karras he redeemed himself in the end and as humans that’s all we can hope for in this world Is to keep trying to do the right thing and even when we mess up try to make it right
The 70s ruled for horror movies. They left more to the imagination. The Omen, Salem's Lot, The Wicker Man, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Carrie, Jaws etc...
@@Amp661 Thats why Psycho was such a hit. Hitchcock understood it was not what you see, but what is implied that is scary . Your mind does the rest ; )
When I was a kid I remember my mother telling me that many people who saw this in the theatre had to run out and were vomiting at their seats. Given the times and how fucking intense this film is, I can't say that I'm surprised.
i saw it in the theater in 73 and still remember the audience-energy being over-the-top. never saw an audience react quite like it since. granted it was made before the public had been saturated with demons and exorcisms but back in the day this traumatized more than a few.
Aside from the demon taking the voice of Karras’ mother and using it as a trap, when evil regan first says, “Why you do this do to me?”, you can hear the sound of children laughing in the background. Chilling use of that sound to really make your eyes and ears feel trapped and paralyzed. Amazing film
Totally agree. I never appreciated how good the beginning of the film was until I got older with the subtleness like the clock stopping in Iraq and the symbolism with the priest and the statue etc.
I always admired how Father Karras was able to put aside is fear and emotions and tend to Regan as a patient, without fear. I think anyone else would have run to the nearest church and probably hid underneath it, praying they never had to look at that demon again.
@@TheFailedmessiah Your mother's in here Karras, would you like to leave a message I'll be sure that she gets it. Yes mom will you get outta there please!

THIS part was the most horrible meeting: seeing and hearing his mother freaked me out. The other parts didn't mess me up, but THIS scene!!!!> A person from Eastern Europe like Greece or Middle East KNOW this is so haunting!
I just imagined Robert Baratheon saying this: *"I constantly quote this when people do something I don't like. Wine!"* "It's empty your grace..." *"Why you do dis to me?"*
The only movie to scare the geeezez out of me"...I saw it when it first came out...I wondered why there was an ambulance sitting outside the theater...I found out why.
My Dad told me about this movie He worked at the movie theatre when he was younger. He said people were running out of the movie throwing up... I thought that was hilarious I love scary movies this one is the best considering it came out in 1973. :)
Karass’s reaction is heartbreaking
“you’re not my mother” is said with so much emotion

So true
Those were real actors back in the day

Brandon M Hear hear, the omen freaked me out more though to be honest.

Marcellis Robinson the Exorcist was horrible in the behind the scenes. I loved the movie but search up the behind the scenes
I agree, I read the book again last year and the words of the demon are much more powerful
Ben Abbott I agree. The book explores the demon more in depth. In the book, the demon is incredibly more vulgar and obscene.

"YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER!"
