Do you love horror? There have been several productions around the evil supernatural beings that you need to watch. Hollywood has really pushed its imagination to the limit and delivered some lethal doses of horrific stages on our screen. As part of our daily dread, we look at The Exorcist, one of the most horrific title of all times.
The American horror movie released in 1973 was an adaptation from Peter Blatty novel that had been released in 1971 by the same title. The novel traces its roots from a case in which Ronald Doe was exhorted of a demon in 1949. The film builds its story around a mother who tries all she can to bring her teen daughter back to normalcy after being possessed by a demon with assistance from two priests who perform the exorcism.
Warner Bros released the movie by the end of December 1973. The movie shined all the way to be nominated in ten different Academy Award categories. It scooped two of these categories one being adapted screenplay category and the other being best sound mixing. Many years later, it was nominated as the scariest movie by several entertainment authorities all over USA and Europe.
The movie starts with a catholic priest called Lankester Merrin in an archeological excavation in Iraq. As he goes along with his work, he finds an amulet that resembles Pazuzu statute, which was a demon that he defeated several years before. At once, he realizes the demon is on a revenge mission.
At the same time, a famous actress by the name Chris Mac Neil is seen in her Washington D. C home playing Ouija board with his pre-teen daughter who goes by the name Regan. Soon after playing the keyboard, Regan begins strange actions, and makes mysterious noises in the room. She also uses foul language and exhibits abnormal strength. She goes on to cause her bed to shake, much to the dismay of her family.
The horrified mother seeks assistance from several physicians who perform a series of tests on her. Unfortunately, they do not find anything medically wrong with her and are not aware that Pazuzu has possessed her. A few nights later, Regan kills her babysitter and her mothers director, Burke Dennings. A detective called Kinderman is called in to investigate the murder. The detective interviews Regans mother and a priest turned heathen called Karras.
Soon doctors recommend exorcism as the only way to cure Regans condition. Chris, her mother calls in Karras to help. Karras refuses at first but after seeing words help me in her stomach and listening to a recording where she talks in reverse, he agrees to the request alongside another priest called Merrin.
