The Exorcist still has scares to deliver.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Plenty of older movies haven't withstood the test of time, particularly in certain genres, prompting audiences to ask just how scary classic horror movies like The Exorcist still are today. William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel is arguably the most famously known–or infamous–horror movie ever.
The Exorcist's Notorious Audience Reactions In 1973 Explained By now, the extreme audience reactions to the 1973 release of The Exorcist are well-known. Reports of audience members walking out, fainting, vomiting, or passing out from fear and disgust have been circulated to the point of being the stuff of Hollywood legend. It's such an extreme reaction to a mere movie that modern audiences might have a hard time believing it.
It's important to remember, though, that not all the reactions were reactions to the exorcism scenes themselves, but to a very specific scene. Earlier in the film, Regan gets blood drawn from her neck in a scene that is medically accurate. This scene caused a vasovagal response in those prone to them, and quite a few people had adverse reactions due to that rather than the demon or pea-soup projectile vomiting.
Friedkin committed to that realism with his restrained use of set pieces and practical effects. By modern standards, some of the more iconic scenes like Regan vomiting pea soup or levitating off the bed, would seem quaint. But Friedkin's judicious use of graphic, visual horror enables those moments to pack more of a punch. It makes the shocking moments even more shocking; on paper, a scene with a young girl stabbing her genitals with a crucifix seems like too much.
