It’s October at The Frida Cinema, so it’s time, once again, to present the original theatrical cut of William Friedkin’s horror masterpiece The Exorcist!
When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people begin to die, the girl’s mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the Devil. Her daughter’s only possible hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism.
One of the most influential and infamous horror films of all time, The Exorcist shocked 1970s audiences with its chilling atmosphere and groundbreaking effects. But it’s the central performances from Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow, and Linda Blair that still horrify fifty years later.
