Do you love horror? There have been several productions around the evil supernatural beings that you need to watch. Hollywood has really pushed its imagination to the limit and delivered some lethal doses of horrific stages on our screen. As part of our daily dread, we look at The Exorcist, one of the most horrific title of all times.
The 1973 horror release was a revision of a novel written by Peter Blatty in 1971 bearing the same name. The novel itself was motivated by an exorcism story in 1949 that involved Ronald Doe. The movie is all about of a desperate mother trying to rid her teenage girl of a demon that has taken hold of her. She is assisted by two priests in her quest.
Warner Bros released the movie by the end of December 1973. The movie shined all the way to be nominated in ten different Academy Award categories. It scooped two of these categories one being adapted screenplay category and the other being best sound mixing. Many years later, it was nominated as the scariest movie by several entertainment authorities all over USA and Europe.
The movie opens with a catholic priest somewhere in Iraq excavating an archeological site. The priest name is Lankester Merrin. As he goes about his business, he stumbles across an amulet that looks like Pazuzu, a demon that he had fought and banished years before. He realizes that the demon is back for revenge.
At the same time, a famous actress by the name Chris Mac Neil is seen in her Washington D. C home playing Ouija board with his pre-teen daughter who goes by the name Regan. Soon after playing the keyboard, Regan begins strange actions, and makes mysterious noises in the room. She also uses foul language and exhibits abnormal strength. She goes on to cause her bed to shake, much to the dismay of her family.
Chris, her mother, seeks medical attention for her daughter. After several painful tests, the doctors conclude that she is okay. Little do they know that Pazuzu the demon has taken over her body. Her condition worsens culminating to her killing the acting director called Burke Dennings and the babysitter at night. The government brings in a detective, Kinderman, to probe these murders. Kinderman interviews both Chris and another priest who had lost faith by the name Karras.
Soon doctors recommend exorcism as the only way to cure Regans condition. Chris, her mother calls in Karras to help. Karras refuses at first but after seeing words help me in her stomach and listening to a recording where she talks in reverse, he agrees to the request alongside another priest called Merrin.
The two priests are unable to exorcise the demon. It mocks them in the process even abusing Karras dead mother. Karras leaves after sometime. Merrin is left to deal with the demon. However, after some time Karras comes in only to find Merrin dead. He pleads with the demon to leave Regan and enter him instead. He sacrifices his life by jumping over a window and dying out of head injuries. This banishes Pazuzu from earth. Regan feels better after sometime and returns home.
