Her: "I love horror movies."
Also her: "Stop this, please!"
🤣🤣🤣
😂
🤣
She's so cute... I'm a 9/11 survivor and ID MARRY HER...without hesitation. She's so prescious
To be fair, this is NOT a typical horror film. This is THE horror film.
@@RoSaWa386-33 agreed
What Regan saw when she noticed the priest’s neck (at the end of the movie) was the Roman collar worn by priests. The sight was reminiscent of Father Karras’s collar and how he had saved her from the possession. That’s why she gave him a hug in thanks.
I saw it too
Yeah I think she pretended to her mom that she couldn't remember anything.
This works, just like "Jaws" works or "Alien" or "The Shining" etc. because the filmmakers took the time to set up the suspense and tension, as well as the characters. They built a world and sucked you in and made you feel at home in the environment of the film BEFORE they got around to scaring the crap out of you.
The first time I watched Jaws, it was tough getting through the first arc of the movie. I was shocked how long it took to show any action or scenes with the shark. But when they DID finally happen, the payoff was so much more worth it. I ended up really enjoying how slow the pacing was up until the 'monster reveal', plus I actually got to learn more about the characters without feeling like they were gonna die in two seconds 🤣
Good times.
Absolutely great and TRUE explanation... I so wish they would take a page from the past..
Those are all the perfect examples of good pacing in horror movies. Good assessment. I love this flick.
+Dan Hitchman I've seen the exorcist and alien
Her reaction is the reaction of the people back then in the movie theater when this first came out.. it's very interesting to actually see it happen in this day in age. People now seem to be desensitized to anything like this.
Desentisitized only if they r exposed to many sub genres of Horror movies... People who don't watch many horror movies will definitely get the jeepers creepers.
lol.. naive white people still buying the phony RUclips reactions.. smh!
I was thirteen and an older brother got me in to see it in 1973. They were actually handing out barf bags to the audience. Unfortunately for me I guess I was a futuristic desensitized type of kid as it didn't bother me at all.
I watched the very well crafted red-band trailer for Evil Dead Rises (2023) and its quite creepy, but I have seen a lot of horror movies over the years so I wasn't as creeped out as some people would be. People not used to genuinely well made horror movies will be affected a lot more. I was quite a chickensh*t when it came to horror movies, but the more I saw, the less I was scared (jump scares not included).
People threw up, screamed,passed out, etc
You guys did great!!
Seeing that upside down crab walk down the stairs still freaks me out to this day. One of the most iconic scenes ever.
First time I watched this movie I would look up the stairs to make sure nothing was coming down first anywhere I went lol, it just made me think we'll you never know
This movie traumatize me at 10 years old.
Now in my thirties I admired this iconic horror movie.
6:25. Sorry, but no. By this time 99% of America had direct dial telephones. If she is talking to an operator she must be calling another country.
Or she is calling an answering service, that was like a human answering machine. The doctor called the office wherever he went and told them what the phone number was there. Then any emergencies would call this office and they could tell you how to reach the doctor.
@@FloridaMugwump Yknow I always just thought he was overseas, and I never considered that he might’ve been a doctor.
That's only on the directors cut.
This movie has been topping every list of the scariest movies of all time for 50 years now. A masterpiece. It traumatized my parents because of how hysterical the people in the theater were, because when you’re surrounded by a hundred people who are all freaking out it increases the fear level. Great reaction!
Even hearing first account stories, it is still wild to think that this film was "that long ago" I was born in 1990, and '73 never felt that far off. Hell, even my oldest cousins were born in the late 1970s. My mom was 14 when this film came out & she hasn't watched it since we watched it together over 20 years ago. Technically, I have watched this so many times since that day.
Still stands the test of time of pure horror
It remains the most disturbing film. Seeing the last five years' of reactors confirms this. And lucky for them, NONE are seeing this movie in a jam-packed movie house, with a housand peopl flinching, jumping, screaming at all of these moments. Today's audiences are watching it in their sterile home environments. "Turn the lights on!"
I saw this as a teenager in the 70s and almost died of fright. I couldn’t sleep for weeks!
Your reaction was exactly like it was in 1973 when i was 8 and my older sisters snuck me into the theater. The screaming from you two and gasps etc...all except you two running out of room, I never heard so many people screaming and running out of theater. Great reaction.
Hey let me talk to you about your auto warranty since you’ll fall for anything
@@richardlacey4923 your right, I have fallen seven times for this Nigerian prince if I can give him my bank account he would put millions in my account and I thought 5 times I'd invest in ocean side property in Utah, man did I learn the hard way.
@@westlod How to tell someone they're being a d**k without actually telling them they're being a d**k 👌🤣🤣🤣
"Please stop this movie!"
That's about as perfect a reaction as I've ever heard for this movie.
You bought that? We’ll let me ask you about your auto warranty since you’ll fall for anything
The wife's reaction was priceless.
And I respect the husband for not hiding his fright from what he was watching.
This movie, as the wife said, is scarier than most movies made today. And Linda Blair's acting was amazing as the child.
The movie still holds up today. It is so well produced and directed. And the acting was great across the board.
I always look forward to watching another one of y'all's videos -- music or movie. Stay lovable.
At the beginning of the film, Father Merrin uncovers the head of a little figurine of the demon Pazuzu, whom he recognized because he had previously exorcised the demon several years before. So then he has a premonition later that another battle with Pazuzu is coming, with the clock randomly stopping and him almost getting ran over by the carriage. So to confirm his suspicions he goes to some old ruins where there is an old statue of Pazuzu and knows for certain when he sees the dogs fighting each other (the dogs of war have been unleashed). The dissolve to Georgetown right after is to show you where this battle between good and evil is going to take place. Father Merrin periodically takes nitroglycerin pills to keep from having a heart attack, which he dies from at the end when the pills run out.
Yea the movie not only holds up, it is better then 99% of new horror movies. It is a true classic.
First off: I really hate this “oh this movie is 99% better than all other movies of this genre” bullshit! I know you’re being hyperbolic, but it’s seriously redundant and arrogant narrow minded idiocy! No single movie is better than the rest, there will always be some that are better or equally scary, so cut that nostalgic gatekeeping shit out!
Second: the exorcist is, imo, pretty tamed by today’s standards. I’ve watched a ton of horror movies and there’s far scarier movies, even fairly new ones, than this movie. The Woman in Black for example, to this day it still gives me nightmares. REC from Spain is another example and even the Grudge (Japanese version) are 100x scarier than the Exorcist. In fact, I’d argue the Omen is scarier and it came around the same decade as the Exorcist.
Idk, maybe the hype, craze and pop cultural references and mockery for this movie really spoiled it for me. I never felt that scared by it.
100% G.O.A.T. of horror films
. Well, it is subjective. So much matters how young one is when during 1st viewing. The Exorcist had the greatest cultural impact of any film ever. It is #1 for me but others like blood baths and slashers.
21:18 "please pause it for a time."
"no, i cannot."
"please!"
"no."
"please..."
evil 😈😆
"no, I cannot." savage 😏
My mom went to watch this on it’s opening night. She said starting at the part with the crucifix a murmur started in the theater and some people started getting up and hurriedly heading to the exit. She said you could hear people start to argue about leaving the theater. She said it was really a surreal
experience.
I'm alive cuz of this movie. My dad took my mom to this movie on there first date. Got married a yr later. And I watched this wen I was 9yrs loved it.
The creative makeup for “The Exorcist” was done by Dick Smith. One of Smith’s protégés on this was a young Rick Baker, who would become an Oscar-winning makeup artist in a few years, himself. Rick Baker, in turn, trained a young artist named Rob Bottin, who went on to create the special makeup and costumes for “Robocop” in 1987.
For anyone interested, this film does not signpost anything, nor does it use exposition to set anything up. There is very clear understanding in the things not said or revealed, but it takes a little bit of analysis by the viewer to understand the purpose of each scene. This film is masterful storytelling by Freidkin and he invites the audience to read between the lines. When you begin to understand the subtext, it emerges like one of those 3D magic eye puzzles. Its a beautiful incredible film.
A few points. It was never the house, it was Regan. If they moved, IT would have gone too. IT had dealt with Father Marin before. The previous experience mentioned. Marin has a very bad heart. He died of that, not the Demon. If a possessed person, the Host, dies, the possessing Entity has to immediately return to (parts south). IT was never going to allow the Host to die, especially before changing to a different Host. Father Karras was strong. He overcame the Demon long enough to end it. Oh, and, those tests earlier were actually State of the Art at the time. This was long before CATs and MRIs.
I read that the author of the book and the director of the movie both consider it a psychological thriller and not a horror movie, thanks that probably the best reaction I’ve seen to this classic!
I can honestly say I've never seen anyone so scared watching a movie before. I saw this at 15 years old with my girlfriend and she was quite frightened too. Yall did a great job.
And with the lights on. I watched it at 11 pm show, dark, loud, big screen movie theater.35% of the audience left.
@@Artificialintelligentle Was that in 1973?
"I love watching horror movies" 5 minutes later....."turn it off, turn it off, I can't watch this anymore".
Raegan instinctively recognized that the priest saved her, so when she sa the priest's collar at the end, she was compelled to thank him, even though she probably didn't know why.
Excellent reaction video! You are one of the few reactions who actually seemed to understand a lot of the plot intricacies that other viewers didn't catch.
The Exorcist is based on a real exorcism performed by Jesuit priests on a Maryland boy in St. Louis in 1949. The priests were from St. Louis University. The diaries the priests kept of the exorcism are in the St. Louis University library and can be accessed by anyone online. In the 1980s, St. Louis University's school newspaper did an interview with the real life younger priest, Fr. Walter Halloran. He had retired by that time. He seemed very down to earth and jovial. One thing he mentioned that got a laugh was, "that kid could spit with amazing accuracy; He hit me right in the eye every time." I had a friend who attended SLUH in the early 1970s. Fr. Halloran was pointed out to him by another priest. "That's the guy who had his nose broken by a kid possessed by the devil." My friend didn't understand what he was talking about until the movie came out a year later. Most Catholics had never heard of an exorcism until the movie came out. The hospital the boy was brought to for treatment was the Alexian Brothers Hospital in St Louis. It has been torn down in the early 2000s to make way for a new treatment complex. Over the years, I've met people who's parents knew the boy from his stay at the psychiatric wing of the hospital. Everyone has a creepy story about the boy during his hospital stay. I take all of them with a large grain of salt but they really are creepy. The psychiatric wing of the hospital was torn down several years before the rest of the hospital leading to speculation some of the creepy stories really must have been true. The medal in the movie Father Damien carried was a St. Joseph medal, the patron saint of families. I would have thought it would be a St. Michael the Archangel medal because he is the imposing angel who does battle with demons and the devil. He is usually depicted with a great sword in hand. Regan pulled the medal off Father Damien while they struggled on the floor. The unprotected Damien was then able to be possessed by the devil when the priest cried, "Take me." When the devil left the real life exorcised boy, he said St. Michael appeared and the the demon left his body. Priests praying in the chapel said at the moment the angel appeared, there was a bright flash and a loud boom in the chapel. Many years ago. a friend actually talked to one of the priests who was in the chapel and he said it was a true story. Fr. Halloran was quite a guy. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam and earned two bronze stars. I was in high school when the movie came out and the amount of interest it generated has never been surpassed. Not even Star Wars.
This is the best reaction to The Exorcist I've ever seen!
Remember when this came out. Nothing this realistic about the church and exorcisms existed. This flick scared the poop out of me as kid. All lights had to be on in every room. Ya know...because the devil can only get ya if you walk into ot near a darkened room. :P
Hilarious. Awesome reaction. This movie put me off horror movies for a couple decades. Scared the shit out of me.
The book is the only one I've read in my life that scared me. The movie was watered down
@@trumphatesyou Good thing. I saw it as a teenager in the theater. That was scary enough.
You guys are awesome; Y'all upload more often than most channels I follow. Thank you for the time and effort you do for our entertainment.
Stay awesome guys, hope you fine folks have a flippin sweet weekend 💜
based on a true story to a young boy in St Louis in 1947, the priest's diary was made into a book and is available
And the film is soft compared to all what really happened
It's important to know that there are two main versions of this movie. You watched the 2000 version which adds additional scenes, some of which the writer was upset were originally omitted, although filmed, in 1973. The spider/crab walk is among these scenes not in the original release. The problem was that the wires holding up the stunt person could not be hidden well. In 2000, they were able to take that 1973 footage and digitally erase the wires. It now stands as one of the iconic moments in the movie although it was never seen until 2000. The scene with the psychiatrist where he is grabbed by Regan, they digitally shifted Regan's face before she went and grabbed him. But other than that ( and a couple more demon face flashes) the FX is all from 1973.
You made it, this is probably one of the scariest movies ever so now other horror movies should be a piece of cake : D
I've seen this movie many times and each time I find something new to appreciate. The horror and gore aside, the pacing, acting and camera work are fantastic. No CGI, everything created by hand practically. Air conditioned sets creating frost IN the room and several notable injuries during filming.
I highly recommend the documentary The Fear of God: 25 Years of The Exorcist. Tons of behind the scenes, interviews, etc. reveal what went into making this masterpiece.
Nice reaction!
The films in the late 60's into the early 80's were grittier and grimier and were less afraid of having either an unhappy or bittersweet ending, and they focused on a more down to Earth approach to their settings and characters (regular people in extraordinary circumstances). That made a lot of the better made films really excellent. You should check out some 70's classics like "Marathon Man" and "The French Connection." They are superbly acted and can be quite suspenseful and dramatic.
Those are good recommendations, but it's just an illusion that old movies were better: Great movies are the only ones people still talk about after their time, so they think it was normal when it never was. When those movies were current, people called the 30s and 40s the "Golden Age". And when it was the 30s and 40s, critics thought movies were a wooden, emotionless imitation of live stage because the great stage plays were the only ones people still went to see.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 Well, I've seen a number of "modern" films, and I still state that there is something to admire about the so-called classics that I am not normally seeing currently.
@@dan_hitchman007 I agree that the industry doesn't support quality as much now, but most of it was always garbage. They would use stock footage of insects and random explosions intercut with badly-overdubbed shots of an actress screaming, along with the exact same sound effects they would use over and over for years. They'd sell it for pennies on the dollar a decade later to late night TV, and then let it lapse into the public domain. Hollywood was, is, and always will be a hack-stravaganza.
Regan subconsciously recognized the priest's collar and related it to having saved her. That's why hugged and kissed the priest.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out. And I remember it so vividly. Of what the American Psyche was going through at the time of it's release. And what effect and impact it and on the national consciousness of our nation. In the end the young priest Father Karissa. Gave his life for young girl he never met. There's no greater gift in humanity. Then one giving one's life for another. Especially when they don't even know each other !
Some points you raised questions on:
1) When she was pissing , the line " you're going to die up there" was directed at the man who was an astronaut.
2) Reagan was possessed not the house so moving wouldn't have made any difference.
3) Demons are not ghosts
4) Father Marin's previous exorcism ( the one that took months) was the same demon so this demon knew Marin was coming.
5) The pill Marin took in the bathroom was Nitroglycerin. He died of a heart attack before Damien came back.
If anyone wishes to add to this please do so. Great reaction!!!!
Max Von Sydow, the old priest, is actually about 40 something in this movie. He came out in a lot of movies and only recently died a few years back.
You should've reacted to this for Halloween😉 It wasn't just a ghost, it was a demon. Father Merrin had battled Pazuzu the demon before which almost killed him and left him with a heart problem. The silver St Joseph medallion was probably left at the excavation site to bind Pazuzu from rising. When the protection was removed it was freed. The fighting dogs was a warning sign to Father Merrin *Unleash The Hounds Of Hell* or *Release the Dogs of War* the battle will soon begin. When demonized Regan pulled the St Joseph medallion off Karras his protection was also removed. Regan was violently raped with the crucifix. Paul Bateson was an actual radiographer and appeared as the radiological technologist in the hospital scene. In real life he was later convicted of murder and was a suspected serial killer
I can tell you the stories at the theater are true. I saw those reactions all around me 1st hand at the theater when this movie came out. But I was having a different reaction. I was 15 years old (only 1yr older than Linda Blair) and from the moment I saw her, I was in love. So no matter what happened in the movie did not matter anymore. This movie became my favorite movie. I finally met Linda about 10 years ago and the butterflies were still there. ❤☺
You guys are the BEST. Keep doing what you do! Love it!
Any contenders?
@@mikerodgers7620 For reactors (male/female together) no, but TBR Schmitt reacts to more of my kind of movies. Of course they have been around longer.
@@davidkessinger1581 I have seen those two.
Watching you two see this movie for the 1st time is FUNNY! 😂 ...this movie always scared me 😮😂
Lol yalls reaction to this is probably one of the best I've seen in a while
A year later, and I am watching the 'greatest hits' of this video. I could have said from a year ago's first view by these two, "I never forgot or got over this 1973 viewing." Audiences today have it easy because they're not packed into a giant theater jammed with screaming, shrieking people - maybe 1000 or more doing exactly what these two did.
I was a child when this came out and so many adults thought demon possession was a real thing. This was not just entertainment to them. People thought just watching this movie would invite demons.
Thanks for the reaction. I've never laughed my way through The Exorcist before.
The atmosphere, with the lack of musical score, is terrifying at times. There are documentaries on RUclips that will answer a lot of your questions for you. The book by William Peter Blatty is also brilliant.
I met Linda Blair at an event in Australia a few years back, she's a lovely person - does a lot for animal welfare these days . she signed my Exorcist DVD "to John, Sweet Dreams....?"
I love watching you two react! So much entertainment!
I've seen this movie many, many, times and even more reactions to it, but this time I noticed something new for the very first time. We all see the various shots of the demon face throughout the movie but this is the first time I ever saw that when Damien Karas takes the demon into himself, just before he jumps out of the window, the image of his mother's face is there in the blowing curtains. Thanks so much for showing me something new, this was a great reaction.
You should check out the documentary of the making of this movie. I think it's called "The curse of the Exorcist". It's pretty crazy all the things that happened making this film. Especially knowing this film is based on a true story.
One of the scariest movies ever. I can't even imagine what watching this in 73 at theaters would be like.
BEST reaction video ever. I subscribed. I saw The Exorcist in a movie theater the first week it came out. I was 7 months pregnant and it terrified me. The way everyone felt back then was if you go to see the movie, will a demon possess you because it's going against religion? People were crying, a lot of people left after the crucifix scene. I live in San Diego. A few days after I saw the movie, we had a small earthquake in the middle of the night. I screamed thinking my bed was shaking. I put my husband through hell.
When this came out in 1973 a film critic in New York wrote an article about him going to a nearby theater to see it and he walked into the bathroom and there was so much vomit he said you could not walk through with sliding on it. There is a horror genre and then there is this movie which is its own genre. 50 years old and still the scariest movie ever made.
Brilliant! Just Brilliant!! Excellent reactions to a terrific classic like this one. I felt like I was reliving my first reaction over 40 years ago! Great, Great job, you two!!
This movie was SUPER controversial when it came out. The Vatican denounced it, some theaters made patrons sign waivers before seeing it, it caused a minor mass hysteria of ppl believing they were possessed, it was banned in some countries, and actually drove up Church attendance for a short period
The really scary thing about this movie is that the demon can't be defeated, so it's really the story of what happens when an evil entity destroys lives. As soon as he was in Regan, he knew that her mother wanted to marry the director of her film, even though *her mother didn't even know it herself*. It was basically unstoppable. Everything was planned out from the very beginning, and the demon probably wasn't after Regan, but the priests.
Glad I found your channel....I laughed till coughing up a lung to the "pea soup" scene...... best reaction yet.... Love it!
Kudos for taking on a classic that actually lives up to the hype. Most reactors underestimate the movie because it came out so long ago. This movie was a game changer in the industry and modern movies attempt to up the shock value with just mindless gore. I always feel kind of bad for first time viewers b/c I can see how disturbed you both truely were.
You guys should react to Linda's 1990 movie Repossessed, it's a hilarious parody of the Exorcist with Linda Blair as Nancy once more and Leslie Nielsen from Naked Gun And Airplane plays the exorcist. It's a hoot!
No they shouldn't.
@@periechontology Oh yes, they should!
When he screams 😮at 15:28 when Regan comes down the stairs like a spider is EVERYTHING, 😂.
I never see anyone give kudos to the Housekeeper/Nanny and the Butler/Servant - they stayed through all of that!
Haha that spider walk always gets people
This is a living proof that makeup is way better than CGI.
This movie set the standard for the horror genre. Its still sets the standard. What makes it so scary is that it is based on a true story.
I'm shocked that you didn't freak out when you saw the Ouija board, like all other reactors do!
She said, "You're going to die up there" to the astronaut at the party.
Yes, Damien flung himself out of the window to save Reagan from the demon.
Reagan saw the priest's Roman collar around his neck and felt gratitude for the priests who saved her, and kissed his cheek.
Damien's friend (the priest at the end, and who played piano at the party) was played by a real-life priest.
I wasn't old enough to see this movie until I was 14 on TV. Then at 16, I saw Exorcist II in the theater.
I'm glad you saw this 'real' version with the spider-walk-down-stairs. Some versions cut that out, as well as the desecrated Mary statue. But they leave in the language, the grabbing, the vomit - I've always found those more sickening but not nearly as frightening.
I like how you guys genuinely react to the movie. The Exorcist is one of the best "in your face" movies.
1970's was the best era of Cinema...Raw ,violent ,gory cinemas without bgm scenes and daring idas.. new age audience can't understand the magic of those cinemas. You should react on william fredkin's Sorcerer . That was a masterpiece.
First time I watched this, I couldn't get that scene out of my head when she was crab walking upside down, down the stairs with blood coming out of her mouth. Gave me nightmares for quite a while. Love your guys reactions.
Why?
That was not in the original
@@richardworton4597 People are reviewing the director's cut more these days.
@DarkTitan Well?
@DarkTitan The top horror movies that can challenge The Exorcist.
This took me back to my parents TV room in 1983. My stupid 13 year old self watching this...alone 😱. Still frightening! Your reactions were well warranted, the scariest film I've ever seen. When he said "fk u Karl" I about spit out my tea 😂.
Excellent reaction. At the end Reagan realised that the new man was a priest because he was wearing the clerical collar and black shirt. She hugged him because she associates him with Father Merren and trusts him.
15:26 🤣 21:08 🤣❤ The best reaction!
24:05 "Time wasting is a culture amongst rich people" Ah! Well said! :) Lol
The medicine he takes is Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets are used to treat episodes of angina (chest pain) in people who have coronary artery disease .
Linda Blair did such a great job that it actually hurt her career. As a child actress, most roles available were for "family" films, and studios didn't think parents would take their kids to a movie with the "possessed Exorcist girl" in it.
No, it helped her get roles. Her other films bombed and her career was toast...
@@jeysonlivington It didn't help her get GOOD roles in GOOD movies. Thus it harmed her career.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 excorcist won her awards. Duh. Maybe she was the problem
@@jeysonlivington Lol...she's one of the big reasons The Exorcist won awards. Are you, in your INCREDULOUS simplicity, suggesting that she didn't put in a good performance?
The Loud Guys Movies: Of the 25 Exorcist reaction videos I've watched, this was one of the best even though my American ears couldn't understand half of what you say. Good job guys.
"I've watched the exorcist 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every time "
"Now what do you think?!? You think I'm qualified?"
This reaction was exciting to watch, but also I feel bad because I know how terrifying the movie is. I would always leave the house whenever my Mom watch this because I was too afraid that I might catch a scary scene walking around in the living room or the kitchen while she watched it
There's an actual documentary on the boy who this actually happened to and it was all pretty much true.
One of my all time favourite films, first saw it in the mid 80s at youth club, also seen it at a midnight screening on the cinema then had to walk home in the dark through town lol
Regan didn't remember any of the ordeal, but when she saw the priest's collar, a memory was triggered that Damien sacrificed himself for her.. the kiss was for Father Damien. The story was actually not about possession, but the ultimate test of faith of a priest who was questioning his own. Many years later, Linda Blair played an older cop in a movie.In a short scene, her young partner said he wanted pea soup for lunch - she gave him 'the look'... pea soup was used as the vomit in this.
This is why we watch reactions... You're both adults, and you know this is a movie with actors, yet the story is so compelling that it sucks you in and you are invested in what is going on that the events in the movie become real in a sense for the whole time you are watching.
Other movies that want to do horror should definitely study The Exorcist.
You might want to try The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974.
It was so interesting to see your reactions to this. I saw this so many years ago and it was a new education to see it again through your eyes. I would massively recommend the spooky movie called 'Prince of Darkness' (1987). There is lot of suspense and build up throughout the movie.
I saw this movie when I was 17 years old in 1976 and it scared me to death, I had nightmares for months afterward.
I loved your reactions. Might have been the most intense reaction I’ve seen. It’s no surprise it’s to this movie. This movie frightens me to this day. I’m traumatized by this movie. I made the mistake as a little kid of sneaking into the family room to watch this with my older siblings. They told me to leave but I kept sneaking back. I was afraid to go to sleep and had nightmares when I did. To this day I will not watch this movie at night. I managed to watch your reaction vid in the daytime 😂
I love this channel and this reaction. This is one of my favorite movies ever, not just horror.
I recently watched talking about this movie. Apparently, at the time of the movie's release, those most affected were Roman Catholics familiar with all the symbology and rituals. Given I fit that category I can say its not a movie I can watch easily even to this day, much less on my own. Each time I've seen it since, I relive the emotions I had the first time I watched it. I enjoyed your reactions, they were the best.
The author, Blatty, opted for the spectacular ending of the priest becoming possessed and freeing the girl that way. But in the original exorcism on which this book/movie was based, the ordeal took months and the child was eventualy delivered from the evil when given Communion. After that, If my memory serves me correctly, the boy (not a girl) was freed within a week. That is the exorcist's secret weapon. Seems good and evil cannot easily occupy the same space. Something's gotta give.
But if you want to learn more about the original 1940s exorcism do a search. I know of at least one documentary video made of it. But there are probably many available.
I didn't have an idea that both the books and the movie were ispired by a "real" exorcism!
@@gabrielesolletico6542 I don't know about any of the other books, having only read first one, but yeah, it was an exorcism that took place in the 40s as I recall. The family lived in Georgetown where this movie is and their boy (about Regan's age) apparently got possessed from his exposure to a nutty aunt who was into the occult. So the exorcim I believe began there but was interrupted for a few months because the family moved out of state (to Chicago, I think, or maybe it was St. Louis, or both). And when they got the Church back involved there was a lot of very creepy preternatural activity seen once the exorcism started back, telekinesis, clairvoyance, etc. But no head spinning. That was pure Hollywood.
"her friend is dead, her daughter is brain dead" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a truly horrifying movie, you’re so brave for making it all the way through! Great reaction!
I was born in the 80, imsaw this movie back then I remember my mom covering my eyes and ears, she went when the movie came out and said loads of ambulances took people to hospital from the cinemas😂
The daughter had been playing with a ouji board. The board is used to contact spirits. Sometimes trickster spirits like Mr. Howdy answer back.
This is one of the best reactions I've ever watched. You too did an amazing job watching this classic
Loved your reactions. Terrifying movie, but your simultaneous screams had me chuckling. 🤣
Great reactions! This is (in my worthless opinion) the best horror movie. I enjoyed the comments you had afterward and I agree that this film is scarier than most other horror movies to this day.
I actually saw this in a movie theatre a few months ago, and the experience of the film was completely different. I believe the movies back then were made for the big screen, and so the effects are made accordingly. I actually felt sick after a while. Never felt anything like it. Not scared or frightened, rather a sort of uncomfortable, queasy state of being unwell. Strange...
Yeah this movie is more of a psychological thriller and horror movie. Not to be confused with the slasher movies of the 70's - 90's and today. Love your guys channel. Take care of stay safe and be well always.
To make this scarier, this movie is based off a real life story.
“This story, the true story behind The Exorcist, begins in the late 1940s in suburban Washington, D.C., with a German-American family. Their 13-year-old, believed to be named Ronald Hunkeler (later referred to pseudonymously as “Roland Doe” or “Robbie Mannheim”. - You can look up the rest for more info.
Nahh dawg! 😂🤣 This is about the only movie I can’t watch! 💀
This is the very first move I ever watched on my own TV in my bedroom as a child
I love when people from other cultures watch American horror movies. Please continue your videos! I love your content! Much love from New York City!
I love how he said, “what the heck was that”? Hilarious
Great reaction. I recall the effect this created upon it`s release in 1974 in the UK. It was beyond description.
