i quite enjoyed this, my first time ever watching The Exorcist, though i’ve watched the exorcist iii two times years ago because i loved it, will have to rewatch that one now.
the juxtaposition between that typical slow 60s/70s film pace and then The Exorcism scene is weird, i love it. those bits feel so modern to me still probably because most horror films after this have used it as inspiration whether intentionally or not, just how the movie entered the public consciousness.
ending was jarring, i get it, but yeah idk it couldve been shown in a different way, slower maybe
i watched the theatrical cut and judging between a few comparisons ive seen between this and the directors cut, i think i’d prefer the directors cut. i dont like how this movie opened, i honestly had to check if i had the right movie. was 10 minutes of indiana jones
