ABOUT THE FILM

The Exorcist is a 1973 supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, based on William Peter Blatty's novel. The story follows Chris MacNeil, an actress whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior. As doctors fail to find a cause, Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychologist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed by a demon. The film explores themes of faith, good versus evil, and the battle for the soul, set against a backdrop of chilling supernatural events, making it one of the most iconic and unsettling horror films in cinema history.

TRIVIA SAMPLES:

“Due to threats against Linda Blair from religious extremists who believed the film glorified Satan, Warner Bros. provided her with bodyguards for six months after the film's release.”

“On the first day of filming the exorcism sequence, Linda Blair's foul-mouthed dialogue so shocked the gentlemanly Max von Sydow that he forgot his lines.”

“The Exorcist became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.”

“The original teaser trailer, which featured quick flashes of a white-faced demon, was banned in several theaters for being too frightening.”

“If adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist would still hold the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.”
