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

Finally on Blu-ray. Picture and sound is amazing. This is a 2 disc set that includes both the 1973 version of the film and the 2000 directors cut. There are loads of extras for hours of enjoyment. Many out takes. The interviews with the cast and crew is very informative, Jane Fonda was one of several actresses that the studio was thinking of for the part of Chris MacNeil, Regans mother. Jane was not interested. And Jack Nicholson and Paul Newman both wanted to play the role of Father Damien Karras . But the director did not want a "big" name star in the role This is a must have film for your collection.

This movie scared the daylights out of me when I first saw it as a kid..But since have been able to watch it without the creepiness..This movie looks fantastic on bluray..Audio is excellent..You can hear all the creaks from the surround system..Definitely puts your system to use..This bluray is almost demo material....

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.

Want to see one of the scariest movies ever made? This is a classic from the 70's.

I received just a bare bones DVD release, not a 2 disk special edition like advertised.

This is not a 2-disc set, as indicated; it's 1 disc. Music is really loud on the soundtrack, while the dialogue is too quiet. We were constantly adjusting the volume during the movie. The remaster is nice, however, and the price was right.

This review is about the quality of the blu-ray film is still very gripping and I sure if you are buying this you do not need another review on the film. There are two versions here the original release and the extended version, Firstly it appears the original version does not suffer from drops in picture quality like the extended version, each extra scene you can clearly see a drop in quality however parts in both versions when the contrast is low look like you are watching the film through a snow storm. More care appears to be taken with the sound and the DTS sound is good in both version. So is it worth it yes if you have not got it but do not expect a massive leap in quality. the extras are good mostly the same a s th DVD with the BBC excellent documentary the fear of God. The rating for the transfer not the film which is a 5 star film

all the extras are like in the delux dvd and same quality but now the movie impresed me more than some of the other older ones they are trying to transfer to blu-ray this one will make ya feel like you are watching it for the first time... again lol
