Acting out a character is not reality…. She’s not “glorifying” anything from her performance. Hell her performance has zero to do with Lucifer himself and second Lucifer and the other demons are not even the same

ESSENTIAL CORRECTION: After Karras jumps and is read his last rites, he does respond. His hand opens and closes a few times over the priest's hand. It's a gesture of acceptance going back hundreds of years--not everybody can speak when they're at death's door. I'm not religious but it's a beautiful moment. Karras struggles with faith the entire movie, the hand squeezing is an essential detail.

On the "the power of christ compells you" scene...sure, it could be a little silly how many times they repeat it, but honestly I think it's brilliant. Reagan floating off the bed is the movie's most supernatural moment yet, it's the peak of the scene's intensity, and instead of the tension snapping with either a big scare or some other flashy moment, it just holds on the two priests screaming in desperation for God to come to their aid, and then sloooowly dissipating as maybe it actually starts to work. And then Von Sydow caps it off perfectly when they get her down to the bed, quietly spitting out, "it is GOD that commands you".

@gregyear201 Ай бұрын

It’s funny how The Exorcist franchise only has two good movies and it’s the two that had the involvement of William Blatty. How and why we’ve been “gifted” two legacy prequels and two legacy sequels is a constant mystery to me, especially since only one of them dares to rise above being middling. Stay strong Exorcist III defenders.

"Exorcist II" does have some "so bad it's good" appeal to it, especially on how it pretty much got everything wrong. It's hard not to get a laugh at, say, James Earl Jones in a bug costume or Richard Burton being visibly drunk throughout the film.

For as cursed as this production was and as many questionable or awful things happened because of people not caring about safety or health, the one thing I appreciate is that Father Karras visits the house with the intent to be a psychiatrist first. No joke, there's such a stereotype that exorcists just show up on command whenever someone starts behaving differently and "exorcise the demon" regardless of whatever's happening. There's a huge amount of disproving the standard stuff like psychological or psychiatric issues, various types of abuse, drug use, undisclosed connections or influences, etc. Exorcism is literally reserved for when nothing else could possibly be used to explain whatever's happening, and it's the one thing I'll actually give various churches as a point of praise without complicating matters. Granted, not every sect does the same level of scrutiny, but for those who do, it's nice to see that they're not being totally zealous with calling everything demonic possession.

@sparki9085 Ай бұрын

From what ive seen, even in more scrupulous churches, it seems to come down to "we dont know what it is, so it must be demons" which can very easily cause people to not get the help they need. Id much rather they actually prove demons exist TBH.

William Peter Blatty made a novel/film called The Ninth Configuration about the character at 09:35. It's brilliant. He's an astronaut & as she pees on the rug she says "you're going to die up there." He went crazy upon launch and ended up in a mental hospital. The Ninth Configuration is about him there, played by Walking Dead/The Rise of Leslie Vernon's Scott Wilson. He's amazing in it. One of the most peculiar films ever made.

It’s one of the most unique spin-offs, that’s for sure. Absolutely nothing supernatural happens until literally right before the end credits.

I've only read the novel, personally, and seen bits and pieces of the movie, but it is indeed quite a read. I didn't know it was connected to The Exorcist, but hearing that makes some sense now. Highly recommend picking up the book.

I feel like so many people base a huge portion of the fandoms on what they dislike and think is bad. Liking liking things is much more fun.

I just saw this movie for the first time a couple years ago, and when it was over, I was sad, because I knew I’d never be able to see it for the first time ever again. I can only imagine how incredible and horrifying it would’ve been to see this in theaters when it came out. One of the greatest movies to ever release imo.

Fun fact my dad actually lived down the street from the guy who did the make up effects for this movie and actually saw him selling some of the leftover props at a yard sale a little after the movie was complete. He sadly didn't buy any props though, though he mostly said it was bits of makeup, though I think he did mention a head prop was also there.

@oscardepaz3063 Ай бұрын

10:25 Absolutely agree. I had my wisdom teeth removed earlier this year. When I saw this scene, my legs were kicking like crazy. Also doesn't help that a murderer (and suspected serial killer) is in this scene. I also think Golden Chainsaw sould have gone to Father Marrren. It's a haunting reveal seeing him and heartbreaking seeing Karras trying to revive the dead man. It also motivated him enough to sacrifice him (for the most part, wait till Exorcist 3).

While I wouldn't call it the scariest film I've ever seen, I adore the techniques, story and the acting, to say nothing of the controversies it created, be them during or after production. Without doubt, one of the most influential horror films ever made. I'll even agree with Friedkin in that the earlier hospital scenes with Regan getting X-rayed are more horrific than the exorcism itself.

The parody of this at the start of Scary Movie 2 was my introduction to this film. This feels like the kind of film that can't quite live up to the high praise and expectations that folks have when they watch it for the first time.

@paulgibbon5991 Ай бұрын

I think one thing is that it's been parodied and referenced so often that it's hard to remember what it would have been like to watch this when it first came out, when the popular image of exorcism was far, far less widespread, so the final confrontation between the priests and the demon would have been far more unsettling and alien. It also ties into the culture of the time--fear about the decline of tradition and the youth becoming stranger and more incomprehensible.

In Blatty's novel, Chris infers that the name "Captain Howdy" sounds similar to "Howard" - Regan's biological dad is Howard Macneil whom Chris divorced. Thus, Chris suspected that Regan's relationship with "Captain Howdy" is Regan coping with her loneliness apart from her father.

What makes the movie so good is that it's just as heartbreaking as it is scary, if not more so. Seeing Chris MacNiel go through what she does is genuinely sad to watch. It's so easy to connect with her struggles, and it makes the horror super effective. Damien is also a character that kind of makes you sad to watch. His mom has died and he's losing his faith. It's really engaging following his story and seeing him face the unbelievable head on. It's a perfect movie imo.

Fun facts about Pazuzu. Number one he was actually a protective deity of his worshipers and also a protector of pregnant women and newborn children and was also called apon to scare off other demons and evil spirits. Number two he was not just a "demon" he was also a primordial deity of the wind (especially the southern wind) who ruled over other wind spirits. he was also seen as a bringer of plague due to his control over wind and associations with underworld. So yeah he might be a demonic chaos goblin but he's a pretty cool dude when you respect him 😂❤

Here’s a weird little story of how I came to know about The Exorcist: I never actually seen the movie itself, but my first introduction was the car driving through hills jumpscare (I was like 12 and didn’t know who the character was), followed by the one specific scene in Son of the Mask where Tim is looking at Alvey through the rear view mirror and Alvey spins his head 360 degrees then projectile vomits (seen it multiple times throughout my childhood, had no idea it was an Exorcist easter egg), and I finally found out about correlation between the creepy faced little girl and The Exorcist from SrPelo’s Ooga Booga jumpscare. And now I’m about to come as close to watching the movie as I ever will with this kill count, so now I won’t have to remain clueless as to what this movie is even about and why it’s so popular.
