The Exorcist

Still one of the most effective and searing horror movies ever made, The Exorcist treats the supernatural with Friedkin’s trademark realism. It’s impossible to list all the now-iconic elements of the film—but they’d include the sophisticated soundtrack; the remarkable performances by Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair, and Jason Miller; the engrossing drama; and of course the jump-out-of-your-seat scares. We’ll be screening “The Version You've Never Seen,” released with added footage in 2000! (132 mins., 2K DCP)
