Review of Gruesome Twosome - The Exorcist/The Shining DVD by bigush

Advantages: two classic horrors in one box
Disadvantages: no extras, if you care!

The first thing I thought when I saw this compilation was; 'What an arbitrary coupling of films!'. However, on reflection, maybe it is quite apt in some ways. They are certainly both iconic horror films. They both have reputations for scaring the socks off cinema audiences at the time they were made. They both have casts that include some of the best cinema actors to be found and were both somewhat groundbreaking in their direction and cinematic ...
...possession. Having said that, they tap very different sources of horror in us, sources that have almost been tapped dry since. In the case of 'The Exorcist' it is the shock and awe of demonic evil. With 'The Shining' it is the familiar becoming the dangerous. The Exorcist (1973) *********** Directed by William Friedkin, this is the story of the demonic possession of a little girl (Linda Blair) who is the daughter of an actress (Ellen Burstyn). ...

DVD Description

Arguably the scariest motion picture ever made, William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST was unleashed on an unsuspecting American public in 1973. The film quickly became a nationwide sensation, leading to religious boycotts, fainting, and a huge box office return. Oscar nominee Linda Blair plays the role of Regan MacNeil, a 12-year-old who is possessed by the devil. After exhausting all other practical options, Regan's mother Chris (Ellen Burstyn) acknowledges the supernatural nature of her daughter's condition and recruits Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller) to stage an exorcism. Aided by the mysterious Jesuit exorcist Father Merrin (Max von Sydow), Father Damien must confront not only the supernatural phenomena in front of him, but also his own inadequate faith and displaced guilt over his mother's recent death. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, THE SHINING stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a Vermont schoolteacher working at the Overlook Hotel as a winter caretaker. He is joined in the cavernous hotel by wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and psychic son, Danny (Danny Lloyd). As the Torrances settle in for the long, lonely months ahead, strange, unexplainable things start happening around them--and with every claustrophobic scene, that mad glint in Jack's eye seems to grow more intense. Responsible for some of the most arresting visuals in cinema history-- the famous scene where Danny rides his toy buggy through the hotel, for instance--Kubrick's obsessive eye for detail is evident throughout. For his part, Nicholson turns in a remarkably acute performance of one man's descent into psychosis.
