OK so maybe this movie wasn't as good as the original, but honestly ask yourself Is it possible to create a movie as good as The Exorcist without recreating it? I think not. It had in my opinion a very good plot. I thought it was very cool how they went into detail about the past of Father Merrin while still focusing on what Regan is going through, and I'm glad they didn't do the same monster. I really liked how they set Father Lemont up to have to choose between the angelic Regan and the sinful Regan,and speaking of Regan Linda Blair was awesome. Going back to the end, I love how even though they looked the same and were dressed the same she managed to make the costume work, and make it look like an innocent sort of dress for one, yet at the same time the evil Regan looked sexy in the same dress!All in all I thought it was a darn good sequel and give it a 7/10!

I saw this movie for the first time yesterday and I was amazed. At first when I discovered it was going to be in black and white my first thought was to turn it off and go get the 1998 version. Well I'm glad I stuck with it. This movie was one of the best movies I've ever seen. John Carpenter said that he originally got the idea of Michael Myers from this movie and I can see why. To be honest the shower scene that is so infamous was not my favorite scene. My favorite scene was when Marion's sister goes up and explores the old house.

The soundtrack was amazing. I rented this movie from blockbuster and one of the DVD features was seeing the shower scene with and without music. It is a great example of how much music can change a film. Half the time I was covering my ears saying "no, not the music." All in all only paying $4 to see this film; I ultimately ripped blockbuster off. I would go to regal to see this film (and their expensive). If you want to see the origin of modern day slasher films well then this is it.
