The filter is not a creative thing. It's there because otherwise the whole video gets nuked for copyright. Even after modifying clips. Some of the ones that got flagged were the background ones with my commentary over them.

John Carpenter's The Thing is my favoruite horror film of all time, but The Exorcist is top tier and so is Exorcist III.

The original end of the first movie was also cut by director William Friedkin. Friedkin was known to be a perfectionist douchebag. The original ending was much more positive and clearly states that God won due to Karras' sacrifice. Kinderman and Dyer discuss the events and walk down a street with Kinderman saying "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." Blattey was so pissed because that ending was scrapped that he ceased talking to william friedkin for years.

In cliche horror movies: “Ghost are real.” Protagonist: “Dear god!” In Exorcist: “Ghost are real.” Protagonist: “Dude, be rational!”

That subplot with the priest's mother hits me so hard man. It freaks me out since I have such a distant relationship with my parents.

Brad Dourif; the most underrated actor of our time. His character in deadwood gave me chills, and I even loved him in alien: resurrection.

12:00 Agreed 100% Child abuse and trafficking just seems to be an issue that we don't want to fully address. Future generations will condemn us for it and rightfully so

If you read the book it fleshes the movie out even more. In the book the demon claims he was reading Karras mind, that when Damien asked the question, he was forming the answers in his mind and the demon was picking it up. Everything the demon did was to keep Damien's doubts going, faking being burned by the holy water, and giving Damien ammo to disprove as much as prove its possessed. The demon saw the future. It knew Merrin was coming, it knew Merrin would die and it knew it would possess Damien, hence the line that an Exorcist would bring them closer together. What the demon did not see, is Damien's faith coming back and giving him the power to kill himself and the demon rather than having the priest kill a little girl. To show how good Blatty was at foreshadowing, there's a line when Damien first enteres Chris's house, that he gets an icy feeling but also experiences an "Odd sense of ending."

I still remember seeing possessed Reagan's face in all of those Scary Maze and Jumpscare videos from the early 2010s. Even after 5 decades have passed, she still manages to scare the everliving shit out of you.

12:01 Also if you look it up many stats will say that somewhere between 30-50% of child molestation or rape happens inside the family. Often people kinda know when a kid is being abused and turn a blind eye because it is just that weird family member you never talk to.

To me Exorcist isn't a "scary" movie. It's more of a disturbing movie that is very well written.

Pazuzu's little peek a boo face throughout the movie used to always give me the chill willies.

I have a suspicion that rather than "taking liberties" with the Pazuzu mythos, "The Exorcist" accepts the Christian explanation of the idols of other religions as either being demons or the delusions of demons.

I love the Exorcist but Exorcist III is one of the most underrated horror movies of all time. Brad Dourif is incredible as the Gemini killer.

"Build up", that stuff that directors did to present characters, show locations, set the mood of the movie until the last 20~30 minutes, when all hell break lose. Today people looks like have a problem with that, so after 2~3 minutes all hell MUST break lose no stop. Good thing I also got used to like slowburn shows/movies/anime, as long they keep the quality of them content.

L's theme sounds almost exactly the same as the Exorcist theme. So even the Japanese were inspired by this movie, if not just a massive coincidence

I remember trying to watch this as a kid, realising she has a far too similar name to me, and turning it off immediately thinking I was doomed. Nice video Loli.

Father Karras was an amazing character, I connected with him how he struggled with faith but still tried.

The sequel to exorcist was wierd like how do you go from this to a anime boy who's the son of the devil becoming the blue exorcist

Ah back when movies were actually watched and analyzed as the Norm. It used to be normal to be analytical and discuss theories and ideas with whomever back in the day.

4:59 It's nice to see members of the community wanting to help each other

this is actually one of the first horror movies i ever saw, i remember watching it with a neighbor back in a WV holler when i was like, 5. thanks for covering it loli, and congrats on 90k.

Honestly the exorcists will always be the best horror story, not for the jumpscares but for the fun narrative that keeps you in gauge all the way until you see something that’s beyond your comprehension.😺

Actually the realistic aspects are baked into writing and direction. Friedkin was chosen in part for his documentary realism skills. Many critics over time have pointed this out..how fleshed out and real the characters are..despite scope of events..always been one of the remarkable aspects of project

If we’re gonna do some classic horror this month I’d love to hear your take on “The Thing”

I aways find this movie hilarious. The portuguese dub doesn't help at all. Seeing the devil screaming to the priest "Fuck me, you pussy!" aways makes me crack.

I never watched a lot of horror movies, it's not a genre that interests me enough, but I did wanted to see some of the classics that quickly come to mind and I started with the exorcist, and for me the scariest thing wasnt the demonic stuff, for some reason during almost the whole movie it felt freezing cold, during the day on the middle of summer. The fact that the movie made me feel like that throught most of it's run time was something amazing, I dont know a lot about making movies, composition, colors or what not, but fuck it that alone made me realize why it became an absolute classic. Excelent video Loli, congrats on 90k, took you a while but I'm glad to have stumbled uppon this little jewel of a channel, keep it up my man

I only ever saw the first one and never knew about it’s sequels, I might check em out someday but the first one is never gonna be outdone.

I like this filter over the video, makes it fit the whole vibe of reviewing a spooky story

I remember my super religious parents showing me this one Halloween to try to teach me that demons were real. All it did was scare the hell out of me! Years later, it still disturbs me. But it’s more of the mental illness theme that makes me uncomfortable. Though the demonic imagery itself is still pretty creepy! All in all, this really is a great movie! I recommend this for all horror movie fans!

The actor for the gemini killer is the voice actor for chucky and worm tounge in LOTR

Definitely one of my favorite horror movies, yeah after re-watching it for the 100th time you don't find it scary anymore but beyond that, you can appreciate a lot more other details in the movie, I love how they don't immediately believe that she's actually possessed by the devil (even the church!!) they constantly say to the mother that she should seek actual doctors, that she should seek other ways, that her daughter is just losing her mind. And that, especially in the religious horror genre is such a treat, it just makes everything hit much much harder

That "scratch film filter" getting a WORKOUT in this vid. Nice work. :-)

you have a fun way of talking about random media, i like watching videos of yours even on things i've seen, it feels like discussing it with a friend or something

I love how even the celluloid itself was said to be “haunted.” 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰

I think when next year rolls around for October, I ought to give a recommendation for Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow

Aye you even talk about Exorcist 3. Awesome.Incredibly underrated movie with stellar performances by Brad Dourif and George C. Scott

Cudos for bringing attention to these classics. It's easy to forget just how good The Exorcist is, what with all the parodies and such. As you said, it's hard to actually get scared by it today, especially if you're a horror-buff, but it and Legion are still quality productions, earning all the cred they get.

Father Damien Karras is one of my favorite film characters of all time.

The Exorcist is a very rare example of a horror movie being even better than the original horror novel. Usually horror novels are much much better than their movie counterparts.

Brad Dourif is quite possibly one of the most underrated actors ever.

Your talks of the better side of the catholic church makes me wish we'd seen something like that in berserk. A counterpoint to mozgus' corruption and brutality.

Another funny connection with Cobb and Scott is they played the same character in one of my all time favorite movies and it's remake which upon a second viewing I enjoyed more than the first 12 angry men kind of a funny imo

It was just 3 years ago I watched this film. I heard about it and thought it can’t be that good especially now a days. Shit I was wrong. The biggest thing that worked was everyone’s disbelief in what was going on

All I can think of now is Jontron taking the piss out of William Friedkin for being a weirdo.

Funnily enough I'd consider Boorman's own Zardoz to be a better surrealist horror film than Exorcist II, despite it being a science fiction movie starring Sean Connery in a speedo lol. I'm not kidding though the ending to that movie is fucking creepy and stuck with me in a way I wasn't expecting.

Great review, very respectful to the source material Glad you gave part 3 some love as well. Ironic the original version, like the book, never had an exorcism, but the studio made them shoot one.

I do recommend the TV show and it uses one of your favorite tropes, that being "bad stuff happens to people who don't deserve it". Casting is pretty good too and you can almost look at it like sort of a "second sequel" to the first film as the mother of the possessed girl was once possessed herself by the same demon.

bro I fucking love you for that damn boondocks scene bro lmao "Read nigga read" RIP to my grand unc john witherspoon fr fr

Just finally finished your 21 hour long video on berserk, it was a masterpiece, look forward to future content from you, liked and subbed

Great video. I subscribed to you relatively recently and was excited to catch this one only about five minutes after you published it. I watched both Exorcist and Exorcist III for the first time within the past few years after watching the Red Letter Media videos on the two movies. Really enjoyed both. I personally liked III even more. Anyway, good stuff. There was a lot of info in this video I'd never heard before.

The exorcist has always terrified me, and has always been one of my favorite films, its kind of the reason why i want to write stories haha.... Thanks for the review loli, gonna watch this one with a big, dumb, goofy smile on my face.

An under discussed facet of this movie is what a total bad ass Merrin was. The guy knew he was going to die during the exorcism but yet he went anyway because it was his fate. He not only went but gave his all to save Regan even though he knew deep down it would cost him his life.

Good review, bro. Cheers. I’ll definitely watch this come Halloween.

Good EYE SNIPER: Well done! The Exorcist III is the one on par with the original - the scariest thing ever takes place in this film in the old folk's home when you see the demon under a sheet with a knife going after the nurse and also when it is on the ceiling - tremendous film!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude I just got thru your monstrous Beserk vid.. when will you release another review for the latest chapters ? Appreciate your work and content on Berserk

Good to see these movies get some love. That third one was a real surprise when I first seen it. It's got a good, methodical pace that just sorta brings you in if you're into it, and the undercurrent of tension settles in nice and thick and then the fuck you up hard with that hospital scene. That shit nearly made me jump out of my skin.

I just finished the video. I really like what you've done here! Subscribed.

Look forward to watching the Exrocist 3 this year!

funny how for years, i used to be terrified by the face of the exorcist cause of that rocking chair video and the scary maze, but now i beg my mom to watch this movie with me.

the LFD2 witch theme unlocked some memorys

Wow. What a fantastic analysis you provided. As a life-long lover of the film I'm really impressed how well you captured why it has such staying power. More than anything else, it's a DRAMA, and a masterful one at that. The horror is almost incidental.

It might not be the scariest movie, but goddamn does it get uncomfortable.

Funny enough Jason Miller who played Damian in this film. When he went to work for the Scranton production company my mother sent him a play she wrote to possibly get it produced. Unfortunately he passed away with it still on his desk. I have no idea if he even read any of it.

I was about 4 or 5 when I was, for lack of a better term, *forced* to watch this movie. I'm not a HUGE horror fan, though I do like spooky stuff every now and then, but seeing this that young (we're talking around 1992 mind you) basically scarred me. Haven't watched The Exorcist since, and while I don't think I'd be bothered by it at all, there's still that underlying fear I felt the first time. Didn't even know it got that many sequel/prequel/adaptations though.

Thank you so much for the love of III, I barely hear anyone talk about it!

Coincidentally just watched this for the first time a couple of days ago. Father Karras is already one of my favorite characters of all time because of how pure-hearted and strong-willed he is even with his struggles with faith.

The Exorcist is an amazing horror film, which was then followed by a shitty sequel that was made in a cash-grab effort, which was then followed by one of the greatest psychological horror thrillers of all time. We don't talk about The Exorcist 4 and 5.

i watched this movie for the first time last year and it was the hardest movie ive ever had to sit through. ive seen a lot of horror movies (most of them relying on cheap ass jump scares) but this one was definitely the most horrifying to watch. probably the best horror movie ever made

Ok ok I’ll buy a tshirt !Just let me live! Great review of this classic film and thank you for giving Mercedes McCambridge her due credit. I was just listening to some old radio horror shows and she was in the radio adaptation of ‘Dracula.’ It’s crazy how much she just naturally sounds like the demon.

Nice, I wanted to watch something new a minute ago and you delivered.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!! My favorite movie of all time! My biggest influence as an artist.

I was introduced to The Exorcist through Gorillaz as Jamie Hewlett, co creator of the band, is a big horror fan. He’d put Pazuzu in plenty of artwork and music videos for the band, most notably in the music video for Rock It as it’s basically a big reference to the movie.

Congrats on 90k my brother in Christ. Well earned and about damn time, Struggler

First movie didn't use jump scares, but 3 has that fantastic one when the shrouded woman comes out with the sheers behind the nurse.

Lee J. Cobb was more than a middle-aged man in the Exorcist. He was already in his 60's and died just a few years after the film was made.

"The Exorcist" (1973) is the most 'intelligently" made film of its kind. I always wished the studio, that released "Exorcist III," could have stayed with its original title, "Legion"...but they figured, "Let's cash in on that 'Exorcist' name," I would have loved it more if it was its OWN identity. Still, it is a great intellectual movie.

Exorcist III / Legion is truly one of the sequels of all time. Stuck with me even longer than the original (or the audiobook of the original read by the author).

The 1977 Exorcist II has only one silver lining in it and that is the background or history of the entity and the priest's involvement prior to the original film.

Fantastic review to a fantastic movie..god bless you young man

i thought the exorcist was pretty creepy just because it seemed like a really accurate portrayal of a demon

Yes, google translates mirable dictu as wonderful to relate, but in that context the demon was saying mirable dictu in the sense of “wonderful expression”, meaning it was saying ‘“in time” is a wonderful expression, don’t you agree?’ in mockery.

.... Maybe it's cause I watched it with my brother. Maybe it's because I knew what was going to happen in the movie. Maybe it's some other factor, but this movie doesn't really scare me tbh. Same with the Omen and it's so weird to me. Edit: 7:59 Holy shit I'm not alone!... With Exorcist anyway.

Actually, the pagan gods according to christianity are the fallen angels that followed the Devil when he rebelled, so the demon in the movie, could very well be a servant of the Devil. (The Bible is a cosmic horror book and a rule book simultaneously)

I remember someone summarizing this movie like this: it’s a movie about a mother and daughter who don’t really talk to each other. And thinking about it, yes, a child whose parents don’t speak to will lash out and become violent and vulgar, maybe as a means to draw attention. Exorcist takes it further and makes it literal possession.

The radiographer in the movie was played by Paul Bateson who was a murderer/suspected serial killer…

The Exorcist TV Series is just addictive. It's a crime that they didn't the third season.

You should use that filter for all of your vids. It is pretty nice. Let it be like the blue border on scott the woz or the black and white of razorfist.

I need to read Blatty. I love stories that play around with secular people’s modern sensibilities being challenged. Stuff like lovecraft and such.

Love the re2 remake save theme at the end

Is that Pathologic music I hear in the background? Wonderful touch

Good vid. Next vid about horror again or video games?

11:09 Why does the wall say 'tasukete'? ('help' in Japanese)

A suprise to be sure but a welcoming one.

Wasn't expecting this from him. But a welcome one. This is hands down one of the best if not the best.

Lee J Cob was also in the 1959 movie classic 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda

This is pretty unrelated, well sorta related it's a horror movie, but have you seen Ravenous? Thought that be an interesting analysis video if that one is up your alley.

i actually didnt know there was a third movie and it looks really good as well

SPOOOOKY I demand spooky futa

I love Exorcist II, it's a guilty pleasure movie. It's not a good movie by any means, but I enjoy it.
