00:02 - On December 26th, 1973, film history was made.
00:11 - But I just found it really horrible.
00:14 I just had to come out, I couldn't take it anymore.
00:16 - Fantastic movie.
00:18 - It's really gross.
00:19 - The cultural presence around The Exorcist
00:22 has never gone away.
00:24 It's something that isn't just a horror film,
00:26 it's a cultural phenomenon.
00:28 - The Exorcist is far more than a shock exploitation movie.
00:32 - The Exorcist itself is based on a true
00:36 but highly puzzling occurrence.
00:39 So it had to be presented as realistically as possible.
00:43 - Although William Friedkin is a very talented director
00:45 of actors, he kind of learned it on the job training.
00:49 - Again, it became a genuine cultural phenomenon.
00:51 It became wrapped up in its own urban legends.
00:54 - I think people just freaked out
00:56 because they felt like they were watching something
00:57 that really happened.
00:59 - Now is the time to have another look
01:01 and assess one of the most talked about films
01:03 to spread its flickering light in the darkness.
