ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Exorcist" by William Peter Blatty tells the story of a young girl, Regan, who begins to exhibit disturbing and violent behaviors. Her mother, Chris, seeks medical help, but doctors are unable to diagnose her condition. As Regan's symptoms escalate, they include speaking in different voices and languages, as well as manifesting unusual strength. Desperate, Chris turns to the Catholic Church, leading to the involvement of Father Damien Karras, a psychiatrist and priest, and Father Lankester Merrin, an experienced exorcist. The story delves into the themes of faith versus reason, the nature of evil, and the power of belief, as the priests confront a demonic presence.
