Exorcist smexorist
Great movie, dont get me wrong. But for people who think of themselves as decent horror film fan, i can never agree when people say its the scariest film of all time.
Anybody with a few point? But lets just not start listing films we all think are scarier.

To be totally honest...I dont like it much. There, I said it. Sure, it was a great movie, preformances were great, visuals were great...but after reading the book, it was a huge let down. Anyone who likews this really should read the book, it's infinatly better, in my personal opinion of course.

I've probably posted enough reasons that the Exorcist is the best horror movie of all time on this site to fill a doctorate thesis paper.
However, I can understand how people in the younger crowd (let's say 0 to 20 years) may think it's a bit passe. I contribute this to children today being raised by A.D.D.-geared television and movies. Not only that, but I feel that the impact of the movie is diluted by its terrible sequels ("part three is ok! blah blah blah") and by other movies that try and cash in on the "look out or that big bad ol debbil is gonna git ya" thing. And yes, I've read the book. It's good, but not "infinatly" better than the film.

I think the ''if you're a real horror fan'' phrase gets used to much, I think it's safe to say that George Romero is a fan of horror what if he thinks The Exorcist is the scariest horror movie ever would you say he isn't a ''real horror fan''

Exorcist gets my vote for 2nd scariest of all times (Entity #1). I dont think its as good as the book either but what movie is? Tell you what Exorcist: Legion from 1990 was one of the the most underrated movies ive seen. Its visuals were pretty disturbing especially when the old woman was crawling on the celing. Brad Dourifs performance was masterful as well. Just keep away from Exorcist the Beginning...thats scary only when you put down 10 bucks to see it, which unfortunately I did. :mad:

I attribute a lot of what poeple say ("it is very scary") to attempts at being badasses. I have also found that most people who dont think it is scary like gory movies, not scary. Hellraiser isnt remotely scary once you get past the age of 12, it is gory as hell though. That isnt to say EVERYONE who doesnt find it scary falls into that category, but in my experience, the clear majority does.
