metavisual posted:When I talk to my mom about the Exorcist (I wasn't QUITE born yet when it was in theaters) she basically says the buzz was similar. The parent aspect is the only part of The Exorcist that works for me. The mother's concern for Regan and her terror at not understanding what's happening to her is very relateable, and watching it makes me anxious for both of them. But once the actual exorcism begins, Regan goes from being a victim to being the object of horror herself, and it just... doesn't work. She just doesn't feel like a credible threat to two grown men in positions of authority. I don't even know that it's the movie's fault, because the actress playing her does a fine job with her transformation into a demon, the effects hold up fine, and it's not as if I haven't enjoyed and even been unnerved by other exorcism films.
