The Exorcist

A terribly terrifying horror movie, The Exorcist is a movie that is one that will leave an impression for years to come. I believe that the first time I ever saw this movie has left me with scars, even today. It shocked audiences everywhere when it was first released in 1973. The movie has a few movies that were produced afterwards, but they do not seem to have the same initial effect as the first one. It kind of reminds me of the set of movies named Paranormal Activity. The horror of this film was ahead of its time when it was first seen by audiences, but in today's world our generation seems to be sort of desynthesized to it. However, the films of today have increased in horror and special effects. It is a movie that one should watch when studying American Cinema because it shows how the American public has always had an interest in horror, religion, and mysteriousness.
