there's something elemental about The Exorcist, even with the new hopeful ending that betrays the bleak original.
Top CriticStill jolting.
More gross than outright scary.
The new version's amendments, for the most part, are distracting and sometimes unintentionally funny.
Besides the performances, which are uniformly strong, what's so terrific about "The Exorcist" is how it's in no hurry to get to the meat of its horror. Unlike today's horror movies, it isn't exploitative. It's about its characters.
I went prepared to be scared, and woke up sleep-walking two nights in a row after I saw it. Isn't that what horror movies are supposed to do?
The movie's eerie quietude is gone.
...Still a thrill to watch after all these years, so full it's hard to absorb in one showing, so affecting it will still keep you awake at night. But maybe for different reasons.
