RIP.

Admittedly I'm not big on horror films, but The Exorcist is probably the scariest film I've ever seen. It's really visceral but also the whole psychological aspect.

 

Yeah, it does get under your skin... And still does

 

1977s Sorcerer, great flick

 

RIP, great director. Never rly a superfan of his most notorious film (not catholic) but everything he did was great ;____;

 

And all those whistles and bells by Mike Oldfield .... Creepy

 

The Exorcist scared the living shit out of me when I sat in the theatre with a friend of my Dad's (and an umpire in our Little League), so much so that my eyes were closed for the majority of the runtime of the film. Britt Ekland in his direction of The Night They Raided Minsky's was an early stiffy maker for me. RIP



I edited "stuffy" for the correct, "stiffy".

Exorcist still remains one of the weirdest box-office films ever made

Seriously, RIP you genius visionary asshole.

 

He's lying to be cool

 

Not to go off topic but you've seen The Wicker Man, right? The real one, not the comedy remake with Nicholas Copolla dressed as a bear.

 

Nope.

 

WTF!?!?!?!?!? FriedKin was an Ub3R Fag! KkKonstantly fluttering about on his "angel wings", uttering confused TRIBALISMS!!!!

 

If you fancy Britte, check it out. Interesting movie too, if very dated...

 

Exorcist is one of the most influential films of my life.

Killer Joe was an absolute redneck cluster fuck full of belly laughs.

To Live and Die in LA taught me how to press fake money. Didn't make a career out of it though.

But if you want to know what a panic attack looks like on the big screen, just do yourself a disfavor and watch The Bug.

 

Exorcist kind of works like LSD; if it makes an impression on you, you don't ever really forget it

 

I'll forever remember Saturday Night Live's sketch on the Exorcist with Richard Pryor! Classic SNL!
