Hello !
Welcome to my small tribute to THE EXORCIST!
If you have been on Mars for the past 30 years and you haven't yet heard of The Exorcist then let me take you through the introductions:
The Exorcist is based on the novel by William Batty. It opens in an archeological dig
in Iraq where we meet Father Merrin (played by Max Von Sydow). In those first
few scenes a lot of weird stuff happens -- wild dogs fighting and Merrins's
confrontation with a statue ( of whom we later find out is Pazuzu). These events all add
to his feeling that something is going to happen.
The film then jumps to Washington and more characters are introduced. Regan
MacNiel is a average twelve year old who's favorite toy happens to be an Ouija
board, Through the game she has made in friend, in the form of Captain Howdy. This
is the first hint at the super natural in the film but definitely not the last. From there we
hear noises in the attic as well as see Regan get zapped, scanned, and prodded from
every doctor in America until the ' oh so expensive doc's ' recommend an
Exorcism -- da da dahhhhhh
Enter Father Damien Karras, a priest who just happens to be going through a
religious crisis himself.
This is where it starts to get good...
From here on we see the amazing effects and brilliant performances from everyone
involved, especially from Linda Blair.
Good and Evil
God and the Devil - Who wins?
You'll have to watch and see!!!!
For a more detailed outline and review of the story go HERE
I called it a thriller instead of a horror because I don't believe it was made to scare, I believe it was made to get people to question. 'Question what?' you might ask, Well I believe it poses the unanswered question of
'Is there such a thing as GOOD and EVIL'
I am 16 years old and although, sadly, it hadn't been released on video in Britain before this year I watched an illegal copy. I like many others have heard the reports of adults sleeping with their parents after watching it and despite the films obvious power I don't put any faith in those reports.
The film itself is excellant and despite my age I know what is excellant and what is crap when I see it! The Exorcist grabbed my attention from the very start and through clever camera tricks and brilliant dialogue it kept it until the credits rolled. I would recommend this to anyone with the warning 'Don't believe what you've heard'
Several of my friends were disapointed with the film because 'It wasn't scary' but I appreciated it for what it was -- a classic.

Wow. Seven years on and this site is still here and people are still visiting it. Thanks a lot guys.
I know nothing has changed since this was first created, but it wasn't until I got an email to my old account saying I was exceeding my bandwidth that I actually realised it was still active.
If any of you do find any mistakes/broken links please mention it in the guestbook and I promise to sort it out next time I pop by.
Cheers!

Yes I am still alive!
Sadly I have not been able to spend much time on the internet so updating is increasingly difficult to do.
I was thinking of taking the page down but I've now decided to leave it up - free for you guys to browse!
After many requests I have now added a link to the film theme tune midi that is currently playing on this page. Enjoy!
