| | The Exorcist |
| | The Exorcist contains an insightful 75-minute documentary called The Fear Of God, explaining many of the thoughts that went into the films production. | | | Clearly it was Friedkins impulsive temper that made The Exorcist the strong traumatic film it is- one that leaves an imprint on every viewer and one that allows people to explore their own fears. | | | To me, The Exorcist is still the scariest film ever made and it never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck. |

| | The Exorcist Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net |
| | Indeed, when "The Exorcist" was originally released on Boxing Day in 1973, Warner Bros. was so concerned about the film's intensity that they only released it in a handful of theaters nationwide. | | | Blatty, who heard of the account while attending a theology class while at Georgetown University, wrote the best-selling novel using details from the case-he was so faithful to actual events that the Roman Catholic Church gave their blessing to both the novel and the film. | | | For the uninitiated, "The Exorcist" is the fictionalized account of a Roman Catholic exorcism that was recounted in the pages of the Washington Post in August of 1949. |

| | The Exorcist -A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review |
| | The Exorcist shows this in such a realistic manner that you sometimes forget it's a film you're watching. | | | I have written a book, as God led me to do, about my personal testimony of demonic oppression and His love of me and His power to free me. What I endured for eight months makes the Exorcist look like a day at the beach. | | | Billy Graham over looked the fact that this film was not made to gross you out or to make you scared of entering a dark corridor, it's about the challenge of faith, and how good ALWAYS wins, even if it may not seem that way. |

| | DVD Review - Stigmata |
| | What I personally find incomprehensible is why the filmmakers decided to make such obvious references to "The Exorcist" at all. | | | During the entire film she is not even trying to find out what happens to her or how she could possibly stop it, simply giving in to her torment, which makes the portrayal utterly unrealistic. | | | This film is certainly not for purists who tend to analyze every grain of doubt or inconsistency, but if you have been waiting for a great movie that uses religious themes and explores them, you will be enjoying it probably as much as I did. |

| | The Exorcist |
| | Nevertheless, The Exorcist retains its stature as a true classic of modern cinematic horror, and the shadows it casts over the genre remain just as long and just as dark as they were in the early 1970s. | | | Included in the new version of The Exorcist is much of what Blatty wrote that, after it had been filmed, director William Friedkin decided was unnecessary or counterproductive in a movie that would require significant cuts to bring it down to a still-comparatively-long two-hour running time. | | | Perhaps the coolest thing about the reissue version of The Exorcist are all the ghost images that keep popping up for fractions of a second when Regans demon is about to show its hand. |

| | The Exorcist The Brunching Shuttlecocks |
| | Warner Bros. Studios, realizing that they haven't been able to make a decent movie since the Reagan-Bush era, dipped into their vaults and re-released perhaps the scariest film of all time, The Exorcist. | | | Not content to just re-release the masterpiece, they have tinkered and added over eleven minutes of footage, and since we've all seen the original film, that's what you want to hear about. | | | As you watch The Exorcist, watch its haunting beauty, its intelligent script, its fine performances, you can't help but wonder how Hollywood went from this to Urban Legends: Final Cut. |

| | The DVD Journal: The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen |
| | The Exorcist is a terrific, gripping, frightening studio horror film, unusual in many ways, but most specifically in the complex and unorthodox distribution of its crucial narrative elements through its supporting characters. | | | One of the many supplements to Warner's excellent 1998 25th Anniversary DVD presentation of The Exorcist was the BBC documentary The Fear of God: The Making of the Exorcist. | | | Owners of Warner's definitive 25th Anniversary DVD of The Exorcist, which is still in print, have nothing to envy here, and only die-hard fanatics should consider shelling out another disc's worth of cash for a slightly inferior product. |

| | Flipside Movie Emporium: The Exorcist Movie Review |
| | Beyond the knee-jerk shocks (which are enough to cause heart conditions), The Exorcist resonates far more deeply than most horror films because serious thought has been given to the theological implications of it all. | | | (As a footnote, those interested in the difference between this version and the original may want to take a look at The Fear of God, a documentary on the making of The Exorcist. | | | One of the most unsettling scenes in the film occurs when a room full of doctors -- the best in the world, we are told -- awkwardly suggest that the problem may defy their vaulted hypotheses. |

| | The single greatest horror film of all time, The Exorcist, is back where it belongs: on a movie screen for the two or three generations that have not had the chance to experience all the thrills, chills and drama the proper way (myself included). | | | The Exorcist is a wonderful meditation on faith and how belief in faith can conquer any and all evil. | | | Aside from the acting and overall tone of the movie, I believe that that it is the underlying theme of faith that makes The Exorcist so unique. |

| | Review: The Exorcist |
| | This portion of the film, with the two priests engaging in a metaphysical battle against a force of evil, represents The Exorcist's undeniable high point. | | | The Exorcist's strength is that it places character development on the same level as the horror elements, but it is not a ground-breaking motion picture. | | | I have always believed The Exorcist to be overrated. |
