THE EXORCIST 50th ANNIVERSARY
Credit: Warner Bros
Regularly voted the scariest movie of all time, it’s hard to underplay just how influential The Exorcist has become in the half century since it was released. With fear-filled walk-outs, people fainting in the aisles and religious groups in uproar,
The Exorcist still conjures up a powerful reaction and has aged extremely well. It still sends shivers down your spine, with some of the most iconic horror sequences ever put to celluloid. To mark the anniversary of the film (and sadly having lost director William Friedkin only recently this year), this 50th cinematic re-release also marks a 100-year milestone for Warner Bros Pictures too. So returning to the big screen just in time for Halloween, sit back and revel in one of the greatest horror films ever made. With a truly sensational leading turn from a young Linda Blair, and support from Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller and Lee J. Cobb, this still scares the life out of me.
