I would probably agree that the Exorcist was mostly hype. Everyone knows what the media is like, a few people leave the cinema and suddenly the world was trowing up green puke.
However I would agree that The Exorcist was a scary film at the time. I remember the first time I watched it when I was a child. It did scare me then but I was a child and it was possibly one of the first horror films I watched. It possibly may have effected those with religious upbringings a little more obviously that is just my opinion.
To be honest I dont think I have watched The Exorcist fully since I was a child because for a long time I didnt want to but then it just went out of my mind lol. I think it is about time I watched it again just to see my thoughts on it now.
