The Exorcist [Director's Cut] [DVD] [1973]

This is an outstanding blu ray. Picture and sound quality are obviously great, but this version of the movie is a classic. The added scenes and sound make an amazing movie feel like brand new! What's even better is that the digital download is for the original, theatrical cut of the film, which is getting hard to find. Best of both worlds with one blu ray!

Even after all these years this movie still hold up well. This has to be hands down my favorite horror movie of all time and the reason I love the genre today. This movie definitely changed the game or horror.

Any Horror Fan Must have this in their collection! I could barely watch it as a 14yr old kid and I can barely watch it as a 35 year old (stunningly handsome of course) old man! There is a decent handful of movies that wander that top 10 Horror movies of all time. And this is one of them. The reason is quite simple. Everyone, wether your black or white, Christian or Buddhist, Old or young, everyone believes in some "form" of religion. And some form of Evil. No matter what your beliefs are, I think one of the best things about The Exorcist is that its relate-able. Evil overcomes us all at some point or another. Some peoples heads spin and others sneak a smoke. Same difference. LOVE IT! And the additional stuff was well done.

One of my absolute favorite films in a beautiful steelbook exclusive to Best Buy. Still one of the scariest films of our time.

You already know all about this legendary film. Nothing like it out there and continues to be the best out there! Though many today who might be watching for the first time might not really appreciate it, It will always hold a special place to me. For the steelbook itself, its a very satisfying purchase. The cover looks amazing in the red and the artwork on the back and inside is chilling. I do wish it included the Theatrical version Blu-ray in another disc but I'll take what I can get. PLEASE NOTE: The digital copy included with the film is in fact the THEATRICAL VERSION. So no Digital Director's Cut. Some like that some don't. Overall I'd say its a must own in any collection; most definitely if you haven't picked this film up. Sound and Picture Quality are on par with the other Blu-ray releases.

This film came out in 1973, and it was and still is one of the most controversial films of all time. It was written by William Peter Blatty and directed by William Friedken( The French Connection). The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb, and Jason Miller. It's the story of a young girl who becomes inhabited by a demon. The film goes from trying to find medical reasons for the young girls quickly changing behavior to full catholic Exorcism! I've owned this film on Laser Disk and DVD, watching it on Blu-ray Disk really makes it stand out! This is a shocking film almost from start to finish! Watch it if you dare.

Honestly, I don't know what my family was thinking showing me this movie at a young age, but here I am now an adult and I still think about it very much. The fear of it was extreme when first saw it but as I got older I got to appreciate it. Behind all the scary stuff about demons, possession and the imagery shown I can look past it and see how a movie from 1973 still looks good with its practical effects. All other movies about possession try to be like this but can't get even close to this classic.

At almost 40 years of age, my viewing of The Exorcist is long overdue. There's no particular reason for that--I have long established my desensitization to the horror film genre. It was actually this steelbook package that persuaded me to take the plunge, coupled with the emerging Halloween season. So I finally watched it, and it is a quality horror film (up there with the likes of Rosemary's Baby), so I recommend it--not that you need me to.
