The Excorcist 1973 Film by William Peter Blatty, author of the novel and screenplay and reportedly the film's first director, very well directed and one of the scariest pump heart-beating film that will make you OMG! (according to my expression. References to The Exorcist are entrenched in our vernacular what parent of a child in the Terrible Twos and Threes has not invoked the image of Linda Blair's head revolving on her neck and vomiting gouts of split-pea soup? There is no end to stories about the film's supposedly cursed production, and Georgetown abounds with exterior locations that are reputed to be haunted. The Version You've Never Seen contains five major pieces of added footage, four of which are creepy or horrific but don't really contribute to plot or character development, a piece of work from Blatty, 101% scary makes you put to shock at some points, great movie.
