The Exorcist (18) + Intro by Neil Rose
The film will be introduced by Neil Rose, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for FIlm & Screen Arts at Arts University Plymouth.
Dir. William Friedkin, US, 1973, 117 mins. Cast. Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max Von Sydow.
Considered by many the greatest horror film ever made, this masterful cinematic nightmare of demonic possession is a special treat for our Halloween double-bill. When young Regan starts acting odd - levitating, speaking in tongues - her worried mother seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest, however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil and he makes a request to perform an exorcism. The church sends in an expert to help with the difficult job and a cinema classic is born.
The Exorcist remains every bit as chilling now as it did in 1973; a vision of supernatural terror soundtracked by Mike Oldfield’s spine-chilling Tubular Bells. Revisit this game-changing, enduringly controversial genre classic this Halloween.
