When a teenage girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two priests to save her daughter.
Join us in memory and in celebration of American director William Friedkin.
When young Regan (Linda Blair) starts acting odd -- levitating, speaking in tongues -- her worried mother (Ellen Burstyn) seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism, and the church sends in an expert (Max von Sydow) to help with the difficult job.
"The Exorcist is one of the best movies of its type ever made..." - Roger Ebert
"The Exorcist, like most memorable Hollywood movies, gains its power from the way it mixes opposites: new-style realism and sexual radicalism, old-style horror and religion." - Chicago Tribune
"The Exorcist, with its excellent cast, mounting intensity, and ingeniously constructed surprises, is still a commanding achievement." - The Philidelphia Inquirer
