When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people begin to die, the girl’s mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the Devil. Her daughter’s only possible hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism.
Shocking audiences in 1973 on its way to becoming one of the most iconic and influential horror films of all time (and the first of the genre to be nominated for Best Picture), THE EXORCIST – adapted by William Peter Blatty from his own novel – follows the demonic possession of 12-year-old Regan MacNeil, and two Catholic priests fighting for her soul amidst their own personal crises.
Directed by master of tension William Friedkin and featuring legendary performances by Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn, THE EXORCIST has endured for more than 50 years as a high watermark of American horror cinema, a masterpiece as thoughtful as it is transgressive. -PARADISE BOOK CLUB
