With a digitally remastered soundtrack including new sound effects and new music along with never-before-seen restored footage, THE EXORCIST: THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN pays tribute to this terrifying film, originally released on Christmas Day in 1973. It tells the story of Regan (Linda Blair), a little girl who becomes possessed by the devil and undergoes a violent exorcism conducted by two priests: an aging man at the end of his career (Max Von Sydow) and a young man having a crisis of conscience (Jason Miller). A blood-chilling film directed by William Friedkin and written by William Peter Blatty, this enhanced restoration of the original will thrill audiences anew. [More]

Reviews for The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen
Promete volver a causar insomnio en buena parte de los que la experimenten en la pantalla grande
No matter how many times viewed, The Exorcist never fails to deliver the goods.
Remains an effective excursion into demonic possession more than a quarter of a century after it was first unveiled to the public.
The Exorcist still packs a wallop of terror for those with the strength of stomach for it.
An expanded DVD version of the classic tale about demonic possession and exorcism.
Those who remember the film from its original run will be surprised by the power with which the new and improved version resurfaces the old frightful memories.
The Exorcist (1973) is the sensational, shocking horror story about devil possession and the exorcism of the demonic spirits from a young, innocent girl (of a divorced family)
In an era when many films compete to scare the hell out of you, The Exorcist remains one of the few able to successfully scare the hell into you, a feat which assuredly deserves another go-round.
Even with 12 more minutes of bells and whistles, however, The Exorcist preserves a remarkably discomfiting vision of this life as a place where evil lies always cheek-by-jowl with good, and balance -- not victory -- is the point of the exercise.
There is no doubting this is a traumatic film, but whether or not you enjoy it will depend on what you're looking for.
A story of surprising intelligence and spiritual power, undiminished over 27 years.
It's still a shock to see how young Linda Blair was; it is Regan's nymphet innocence, of course, that renders her subsequent ravings so obscene.
