The Exorcist (1973)

I'll keep this one short. If you're looking for a scary movie to watch tonight, this isn't it. Maybe 30 years ago this movie scared our parents, but knowing my parents I doubt it. I honestly cannot think of a single moment of this movie that made me jump, or even twitch for that matter. So here's the synopsis of the movie.

There's a demon. It becomes unearthed. It possesses a little girl in Georgetown. Her mother gets worried. She talks to tons of doctors. No one knows what's wrong. She determines her daughter is possessed. She calls a priests. He doesn't want to do the exorcism. She convinces him to. He bring along an older father with him. They perform the exorcism. The demon kills the older priest and possesses the younger one. He then throws himself out of the window. The girl and her mother move away and all is well with the world.

So that's it. It is exactly what you think it is. A movie about a demon that has to be exercised. The demon really doesn't do anything scary and then it's gone. It's not scary. Not anymore.
