Touted as “The Scariest Horror film ever”, the Exorcist is still head and shoulders above nearly all modern horror films.

A young girl develops an alternate destructive personality, and is slowly consumed by the new presence. With the finest doctors in America unable to cure her, her rich mother turns to the church for an Exorcism. This is a gripping story of a child at the mercy of a demon, with only a priest (and psychologist) who is losing his faith in God, as her only defence. Although some of the special effects may seem a little dated now, the overall story is still as frightening as ever.
