The Exorcist - The Most Terrifying and Controversial film ever
After reading some things about this movie. I've come to respect it much more. It had a major impact on the world and changed movie history.
The Exorcist to me is the most classic movie I will ever see.
Controversy
-The Exorcist holds the record for most people having heart attacks while watching in theatres.
-Many people were recorded to have running out of the theatres screaming before the movie finished.
-Ambulance were called on several ocasions.
-Many people had to go through psychotherapy after viewing the film because they were so disturbed.
-Some of the people that ran out of the theatres during the movie were reported to have layed down on the ground and pray over and over again.
-2 Woman had miscarriages (gave birth prematurely) in the cinema because they were too terrified.
-The pope requested every copy of the exorcist reel, tape and any other thing to be burned and banned from the entire world.
-The full version of the movie was banned and never released again until 30 YEARS after its release.
-People protested and threw tomatoes at every cinema that played the movie.
-------------------------
I find this amazing. If any movie can do this, it's a movie worth watching.
Respect to The Exorcist.
