I have read the novel "The Exorcist" twice. For those of you who are ignorant bastards, the novel was based on the Bestseller list of the "New York Times" long before a screenplay was written. William Peter Blatty authored the book and later wrote the screenplay. A devout Catholic, he based his story on an actual event in Boston, which was witnessed by many dozens of people in the 40's. These witnesses included police officers. The boy's identification has been hidden even to this day. Even though I am an affirmed Agnostic, I do believe something was afoot with that young man 60 some odd years ago in boston. What? I don't know. But the UNCUT film is a good starting point for those who refuse to read the novel. Not a bod adaptation, even though one would expect it to be good because the adapter was the novelist. You can probably see I love everything to do with "The Exorcist". My goodness, I'm speechless!!
