I saw the Exorcist with a friend when we about 14. We somehow managed to get into the cinema then when the movie finish which was about 10.30 in the evening we had to walk home about four and a half miles in the dark. We got to his house, he disappeared indoors, then I had another mile and a half to go in pitch black across country fields and a small bit of forest. Never been so scared in my entire life.
I'm reading the book now and it's pretty amazing how faithful they were to the source material. They included so much important stuff and kept a lot of the gruesome shit in the movie. They had so many fuckups and weird shit happen on set that they literally had a priest come and bless the cast and crew because they thought they were cursed. Huge props to them for not making compromises. In my opinion one of the greatest horror movies of the 21st century!
The exorcist is a true story. That's why it's so terrifying. her head never spun around and a lot was dramatized but that story was a legit Vatican exorcism about a boy Roland in 1949. The director said he was invited to an exorcism in Rome where the afflictions of the subject were very similar to how they are portrayed in the film. The Catholic Church has had a large influx in exorcism cases recently. Very scary. For the Vatican to proceed with an exorcism, many medical professionals evaluate first. So this is very real
As Quentin Tarantino once said; "the 70's years were the greatest time of American movies ever", and movies like "The Godfather" or even "The Exorcist" have left a legacy that endures to this day. Furthermore, The Exorcist movie has aged very well over the years because we're still talking about this at almost 50 years of its release.
My father who would usually laugh/scoff during Horror movies said that after seeing Exorcist for the first time in the late 70s he had to sleep with the light on for almost a week. That's how much of an impact that movie had back then.
I'd like to see today's kids watch movies from the 60s 70s 80s so they can understand how this world of superhero movies and remakes is such a pile of s***.
The Jerk 60s and 70s for sure. Only a few 80s movies reached heights. Raging Bull, Amadeus, ET, Blade Runner, etc. But some of these superhero movies have been pretty okay. There are just too many of them. The Captain America sequels were pretty damn good, IMO.
@@BackboneAgZ 80s to 90s Scarface Goodfellas (1990) Gandhi Platoon full metal jacket Hoosiers caddyshack the shining First Blood all the great Schwarzenegger and Stallone action movies Die hard Drugstore Cowboy Wall Street. I could go on. Basically an effort was made by large studios to produce well made screenplays by talented actors where people still used their own creativity and imagination to see and recreate subject matter that touched people in a way not previously seen. Now we live in the no attention span use a computer to substitute for actual substance era. Now I'm going to go watch one of these now that talking about it has me Jonesing.
A 100% behind Mr. Diaz on this one. The Exorcist' is, by far, the scariest movie ever made. No cheap jump scares, no 'tension--release- jokes'. Just sheer dread. This movie is filmmaking at its best.
Well put. The films were intended for a MUCH more intelligent audience. Big surprise “comic book” movies are so popular, it matches the intellect of most Americans these days which is sad. Also way more talented filmmakers in the 60’s and 70’s and the films were about more adult themes. Stories with tremendous character development vs special effects with really weak stories and terrible acting, if you can even call it that🙄
@@thomassanio8745 Have you ever seen the original Blade Runner or The Fifth Element? The filmmakers on all those movies were inspired by the art and stories of French comics. Blade Runner, although an adaption of a book, was also inspired by The Long Tommorow bandes dessinée, which was printed in the pages of an adult magazine called "Heavy Metal". The American version of the French magazine Metal Hurlant or Screaming Metal in English. The story of The Long Tommorow was written by Dan O'Bannon who wrote the script for the movie Alien. The art by one of the most famous of French comic artists, Jean "Mœbius" Giraud. That comic contributed to the genre of cyberpunk. A genre about dystopias, dangers of technology, and transhumanism. You can see Mœbius's influence in many sci-fi films over the last 40 years. The movie The Fifth Element is inspired by The Incal, which was another comic Jean "Mœbius" Giraud also did. Mœbius even did some work on the movie. That comic even influenced Star Wars, which was influenced by Flash Gordan. Some of those 1970s filmmakers you probably like are comic book fans.
So meny classica classics that came out of the 70s. Serpico,death wish, Dirty harry, The Godfather, The Valachi Papers... the list goes on and on 🤯🤯🤩🤩😎
Linda said after the film was released people treated her like she really was a monster IRL. they were scared of her, terrified of a 13 year old. can't imagine what that does to a kids pysche.
@@Emper0rH0rde i'd say she was in the most danger but she certainly wasn't the only one in danger. she messed up her mom and those preists pretty good.
He *was* on atleast once a week but I'm thinking due to the exposure hes gotten from being on this podcast, his comedy shows have more people and his own podcast is bringing veiwers in. I remember last year Joey being on all the time. Edit: same thing with Brendan and Eddie. They were on all the time but Rogan built then up and now they have their own shit.
The mother of regan in the movie,Ellen berkin is it?? Unreal performance from her,for me she's the main cog that elevates this movie to MASTERPIECE level.... and yes I know theirs some stellar performances around her in the movie....... but Ellen nails the roll of a mother with a child possessed by the (shirt lifter) devil ...
Him talking about seeing Enter the Dragon as a kid cracks me up. “You know what you do when you see that as a seven-year-old? You lose your f*ckin’ mind, that’s what you do!”
William Friedkin is the director, he also directed Killer Joe, Joey could pick a few tips from Gina Gershon, she goes down on Mathew McConaughey in that movie.
I watched it at 15, I wasn't really scared while watching it but I couldn't sleep at all that night and it really fucked me up for years, I can't really explain it, I think it's something we really weren't supposed to see
Snow Man yes the word I've is a combination of the words I & have. In this case I was using vision & sound to evaluate his storytelling - which, in my opinion, is a better indicator than sound alone. Sorry for any confusion 😅
I watched the movie on a nationally televised broadcast when I was about 10 years old. The scariest movie hands down ever, that movie changes you. To this day 40+ years later I try to block most of it out of my mind so I can appreciate it from a healthy distance. I did see the unedited version about 10 years ago. To watch that movie takes so much out of me, need time to recover and heal afterwords
Bruh, me too! My mom had no clue what I was watching and then there was a tremor and my bed started shaking.... I've never forgotten how messed up that was! I won't ever watch that movie again or even watch movie clips.....and I'm not religious at all but I do believe there are certain lines not to cross.
They filmed The Exorcist in Washington DC. The stairs that the priest dies on are in Georgetown behind a gas station. I've smoked so many blunts there lol. Shit is spooky late night though.
XXthekingofyouXX, the stairs from the movie may be in Georgetown but the House is not. I grew up in Hyattsville, MD, adjacent to Mt Rainier, the town where the actual house was in which the events took place. As teenagers we used to go and drive around the empty lot (they tore the house down and just left a foundation with nothing on it) but it was always anticlimactic. Since I've moved away I heard they finally built another house on the lot but I haven't seen it for myself.
That movie was shot in Washington DC, next to Georgetown University, I walk by those stairs that the guy fell down almost every day. Scary shit at night time when u look up those stairs
I'm 75 and saw the movie when it first came out. I was not prepared for the intensity and horror, I sat in theater watching while my mind was assaulted. The story, visuals and sound was like nothing I had ever seen. I think the only other horror movie that had that effect on me was the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Now the only thing that scares me in my golden years is going to the doctor and waiting for a clean bill of health.
I, too, saw it in 1974 it's first week out & slept the next 50 years with the light on! Just saw it Sunday at the theater by myself & realized that though it was horrorfying, it was a Great movie and has a profound message for all who have ears to hear!
Joey ain't lyin. Go watch the Documentary about this film. During its opening theatrical run at every showing people were passing out, vomiting, crying, ambulances were called!!!
I met Linda Blair at a comic con a few years back, she was super nice and talked with my friend and I for longer than she had to, and she seemed happy to do it. Really nice lady.
Joey is telling the absolute truth here. It’s the most terrifying movie of all time. It made me lose sleep for years. But it did reinforce my faith in god and made me go to church more often
what makes The Exorcist" one of the greatest horror films of all time isn't the special effects, or the music, it is the terrifying thought that your child has been taken from you, in front of your very eyes, and is being hurt and tortured, and there is nothing you can do about it. The film psychologically grips you with fear, your child has been possessed, and is being tortured, and broken down, and violated ... I cannot think of anything worse that that !
No. What makes the movie the most terrifying and creepiest movie ever is the fact that there is no music in the background. Only the opening scene there is the theme, but that's it. It makes it more realistic
I wonder if anybody here has ever read the book. I hear it’s so much more horrifying. My gramma used to tell me she couldn’t sleep for a month. She is also a devout Christian so I imagine that must have been a whole other level.
6:20 That moment of silence as they watch her backwards crabwalking down the stairs and the shot of Joey Diaz getting Vietnam flashbacks as he stares into the abyss got me dying.
The exorcist is pretty much the only movie that ever scared me and gave me nightmares. You can run from monsters, serial killers and other subjects of horror films, but you can't run from demons trying to possess you, there's literally nothing you can do. That's what's so scary. I was paranoid of being possessed for a long time after seeing that movie for the first time.
What I understand from the movie is that strong faithfulness to Christ is your defense. The family in the movie was morally sloppy. Not evil, just sloppy.
Bro for reals it freak me out too i had a big tree in my front yard and i always thought that bitch was going to spider walk down some branch and twist my neck lol
Were you 10? There is not a single part of The Exorcist that is scary and it is one of the most overrated films of all time, especially in the horror genre.
That was a fantastic suspense movie it wasn't hard that's why it was so good but that hospital scene with the goal in the white everybody in the entire audience jumped out of their seats almost
I highly recommend Hagazussa if you need an example of a new horror movie that stands up to the best of the old movies. Super bleak, dark, atmospheric horror. Slow burning descent to sheer anxiety, paranoia, and existential terror
Frenchy both the exorcist and Scarface need to be seen in their uncut versions! I've had edited copies of both films where certain scenes are cut out. The shower scene with the Colombians is extended, where they cut the leg off after chain sawing the head. The exorcist would cut the spider walk out, and the part with the crucifix. Back in the day they always chopped out parts which were deemed 'too much' for audiences but those versions arent the complete film imo
I'm 57 years old and have seen that movie dozens of times and the most recent time still gets me as if I was watching it for the first time! Masterpiece! God is great!
True story; i rented this movie and watched it with my friend and his mother. When we were at te He blockbuster i made a joke that the lights would go out after we watched. When the movie was over there was a loud boom and the light on the entire block went out. A drunk driver hit the transformer up the block. He died instantly. Was creepy af. I refuse ti watch the movie to this day.
A friend saw that in the theatre when it came out,TRIPPING on acid, and NEVER got over it! * When Joe shows the clip of Blair going down the stairs, Joey's face looks like a scared little kid, and he gets kinda quiet.
@Mark G you're right, I remember buying the special edition on dvd early 2000 I think it was! Also had other extras, like the devils face flashing up when the mother turned lights on lol. Awesome movie, still gives me chills now watching it.
Same here. And it was the edited version on TV. Oh yeah, been to Posers in Georgetown many times. Next to the famous stairs the priest died on at the end. 😈
@@steveenderman4715 gave me nightmares. I actually avoid that movie at all costs. Any movies about exorcism freaks me out. Some are classics, like the ones based on real events. Creepy as hell. Holy crap!
Tom Tal I’ve been watching him since Feat Factor and early UFC. We have so much in common. However, he seems to hate Catholic priests and Catholicism in general. He bashes them without hesitation but is so deferential when he speaks about fighters. That’s one thing I don’t like about him but hey no one is perfect.
Joe is a lapsed Catholic, he seems to have issues with Catholicism. He has spoke numerous times about the tiny minority of pedo priests but ignores the fact that the vast majority are good men
You cannot actually. Any Catholic Priest who is a designated exorcist is not allowed to say he is, nor does anyone know except the parties in question during an exorcism. The only person that knows is the Bishop. The only way for Joe to do this is if he interviewed a retired exorcist. If you want some interesting content on exorcisms, look up Annaliese Michel. They even have full audio tapes of her exorcism. Truly disturbing stuff.
Exorcist, easily the creepies, most terrifying movie EVER. It really messes with your head. One of a kind film. Brilliant. There will never be another like it.
One of my favorite scary movies of all time. Heard about it five years ago. I read the book first, then found the movie at the library. It’s amazing! It’s terrifying for me to watch every time.
Lol u hating. The Grudge scary af. Room 1408 scary. Sinister scary asl. The Woman in Black hella scary. The ring scary. Its a bunch of movies today thats still scary and sum even scarier than exorcist
First time I’ve come across this movie I was alone maybe 8-9 years old on Christmas Eve. We only had 3-4 channels. Came across this movie in the living room with all lights off. I can’t remember what was the last thing I saw but I remember running out of the house and running to my grandmothers house where the rest of my family was and running in there terrified to go back home, the strangest part was when they brought me home lights were on and a different movie was playing. I’ll never forget that experience and cannot watch this movie even with people.
My dad said his mom took him to see the movie. He was 10 when he saw it. After it was over and they left the theater, he looked at her and said "Why would you take me to see that?"
parents were so naive back then. the name alone should be enough to tell you it's not for kids. my grandfather took my mother and her sister (7 and 12) to see Village of the Damned. gave her nightmares for years. my grandmother almost killed him when she found out.
In my twenties, one of my friend gave this book to read. After my class, I got into the bus, started to reading the book. It was a clear sunny day, and all of a sudden, it got dark, and started drizzling. It was a erie feeling. And lots of time i wanted to return it without reading. But somehow I finished reading it. But it was a very uneasy feeling all throughout.
She didn't just hang out with him she dated him. She also dated singer Rick Springfield, when she was only 15. She also dated Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes. Between late 1979 and mid-1981, Blair dated Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw. All these men should be arrested
They said they used a double but that's not entirely true. There's behind-the-scenes footage of the scene being filmed and Linda Blair is clearly involved in the crucifix scene (ruclips.net/video/M0TmHK6e4SM/видео.html).
@@andyc9979 yeah it's pretty shocking! Watch The Haunted if you've not seen it. About the Smurl family. Its alot like The Entity....which is the only film I wont watch in the early hours!
The scariest thing about this movie is that is really happened it was just outside of Washington DC in Maryland...the house still existed in the late 1990s.
@@hays9008 Yes the movie/book was based on an actual incident. The movie you will note that it was shot in Washington DC. The icon "steps" leading to the possessed house is located in Georgetown across from chain bridge. But the actual incident took place in the late 50's I believe just across the Maryland state line close to Hyattsville Md, research it please this is the truth
Back in the day people who had mental issues were often considered demonic or possed by religous people, that is what happened to that girl, the movie is good tho
Father John Nicola was my neighbor in NC, he was one of the main Vatican exorcists and he helped with The Exorcist against the Church's wishes (as a consultant)... He's an amazing man - when he moved away, he gave me his old rosary...I can't begin to imagine the things those beads have seen...but some of the stories he told were more horrifying than anything in that movie.
Sorry Saoirse didn't see your message til now. Interesting. Yes there are terrifying accounts I've heard some myself from priest friends involved in the ministry but they have taught me as well that we must never forget that Jesus Christ is always stronger than the devil. Sooner or later, by the power of Jesus Christ all of these demons are expelled. The key is helping victims to understand the power and protection of God's grace in their lives. But so many people today don't believe and aren't open to that reality... a hidden blessing of people who are possessed or even just oppressed by demons is that they are suddenly open, especially when they see that the exorcist actually can help them.
@@frjohn413I'm no possessed but I feel the oppression... I don't wish it again in my new home.... So God will cover me and I can walk in grace? I'll forget my troubles and laugh live in joy... I'm willing if it means Satan will flee
The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, Halloween, & Texas Chainsaw Massacre” forever changed the horror Genre culture. It pushed the boundaries that basically shaped the 80’s, 90’s & 00’s horror. By the 2010’s, most horror movies prioritized jump scares in order to scare the audience. But back then Director’s & producers used psychological intense motives. Some real magic work back then.
The 1st Exorcist film is a classic film for all times. I remember seeing the Anniversary special edition back in 2000 with my ex-girlfriend at the time. There is no need of an Exorcist remake at all!!
Exorcist to this date is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. It came out when I was a kid and scared me before I saw it because I heard it was about a demon possessing a child and based on a true event. Then I saw the movie as a teen and it legit scared the shit out of me. That’s some deep rooted fear. 😂
Uncomfortable and hilarious; oooh nooo the demon says cuss words scaryy lol The most uncomfortable and hilarious scene at the same time is the scene she stabs her pussy with the cross while saying fuck Jesus. That scene came out of left field and it killed me of laughter. Also I hate needles so the real scary shit were all the hospital scenes. lol
@@UPLAYTHATGAME I was a child and I accidentally walked into a room that was watching it just as she turns demon after being violently tossed around the bed it was terrifying on another level I has watching Halloween, Friday 13, nightmare on elmes.., nothing but 7 second of this movie fucking traumatised me
@@UPLAYTHATGAME ridiculous opinion, but whatever. You're entitled to it. I think people who don't have the mental capacity to understand the concepts of religion and science contradicting each other and how this has been a reality in some parts of the world. I think that people who think this film is funny are obviously immature and their brains can't handle anything just the surface of what is being presented. Basically you're a dummy with no religion.
One of many extreme reactions to the movie: I knew a priest who was stationed in D C when it came out. He was saying Mass one Sunday when a guy dressed like a pimp walked right up to the altar in front of everyone and just knelt down. He didnt move for the whole mass. Ushers asked him after Mass what was wrong? He said that he saw "The Exorcist" last night and was scared to death over it.
I made my older sister rent this video for me when I was under aged....still to this day haunts me...all my friends boys and girls couldn't sleep...I crawled into bed with my sister that night....My Dad said it was made to scare people into going to church because ot was made at a time when people weren't digging church
It is unlikely that this was the reason they made the film. Was it a side effect? Probably. But not the reason for making the film. William Friedkin, the director of the film, was and still is a procalimed athiest, so it does not make sense that he would use the film as a form of persuasion to get people to go to church, especially when he himself does not follow any religion.
@@creatinecara The movie is based on a book, which was written by William Peter Blaty, a devout Catholic. I don't think he was trying to sneakily convert people, but the religious themes were not just for show.
Night of the Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist all came out one after the other from 1969 to 1974. None of them have been topped as far as horror movies go.
If you’re from that era then yeah I agree, foreign horrors are a lot weirder and scarier and push more boundaries. American horrors resort to jump scares and gory scenes so it’s all a bit cheap nowadays but back in the day, I agree there was a level of originality. REC 1&2 are good modern day horror movies
Listing 3 of the most mainstream American horror movies. Yeah you know fuck all about horror buddy. If you tried looking outside the bubble of America you'll find some masterpieces. Fulci's The Beyond, The House By The Cemetery, Suspiria, Ringu, Nosferatu, Nekromantik, Cannibal Holocaust etc.
Joey: A Jewish guy was talking shit about a Nazi and she comes downs and pees and says you’re gonna die! Joe: Wasn”t it an astronaut? She said you’re gonna die up there? Joey: He was something! 🤣😂😂 Don’t know which movie Joey saw but his version sounds better lol
Hahah & it had been on AMC the past few weeks where he'd catch pieces of it including that scene; you'd think the accuracy would still be fresh in his mind lol
One of the creepiest aspects to this movie is its connection to the 1980 film Cruising with Al Pacino. In that film, there's a serial killer cruising the gay s&m clubs in NYC. Pacino plays the undercover cop assigned to catch him. Needless to say, William Friedkin (the director of The Exorcist) also directed this film and was inspired to work on it because it was based on a true story of a serial killer who targeted gay dudes in the mid 70s. The serial killer turned out to be one of the extras that came out in The Exorcist. He played the male nurse who assists Regan as she is lying on a metal table being prepared for a brain scan. I'll just let Friedkin tell the story himself. It starts about 3 minutes into this video: ruclips.net/video/RQ0MGKSd_wA/видео.html Some cinema buff here on RUclips even did a video review on Cruising and he goes on to mention the similarities it has with The Exorcist: ruclips.net/video/G3KAUlOFTpw/видео.html
I think of The Exorcist as a door. A door that every time you go through it something more scary happens. You start to do the math. But at some point you say to yourself "Ok fine, but the next time can't be more scary than this". Turns out you're wrong. And then you're completely terrified of that door.
Back in the 1990’s my friend told me that his sisters wanted to see a scary movie but they are tired of the fake scary movies of the time. So I suggested to rent the exorcist. So he did. A week or so passed and I asked them what did they think. He said that in the beginning they started clowning the movie saying stuff like it’s a 70’s movie and stuff but by the end of the movie they were terrified. He said that they slept with the lights on for a week....personally I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night to take a leak then after I wash my hands and a second before I shut off the lights of the bathroom I get the horrific image of Linda Blair with the pale white skin all cut up, I freaking get spooked. I start turning on lights then shut them off as I pass the switch. I’m freaking 45 years old.
See, The Exorcist didn’t scare me much, but I think we’re all susceptible to different things. I don’t know if you know the movie Sleepaway Camp, but the ending of that had a pretty heavy reveal. Something to do with the scoring (there’s a whole theory behind music written in the key of D being the most likely to instill fear in someone, but I haven’t personally found this to be true) in thick blasts from an orchestra plus the overdubs of heavy breathing and hissing at the end...it still makes me uneasy til this day. I’m only a few years younger than you and there’s no shame in being afraid of something. Other films that bother people tend not to freak me out for some reason. I woke up once in the middle of the night and turned on the TV and “Casino” with DeNiro, Pesci and Sharon Stone was on and the ending of that preyed on my mind a bit more than average. I think it’s because I just woke up. I watched the last 5 minutes of it or so and tried to go back to sleep. Admittedly, the ending of that film stayed with me and I had trouble sleeping that night.
Continental Aquatics this is true for me in scary movies scenes where it’s a sign of loneliness and desperation is very scary not afraid of ghost or ghouls but man when movies deal with mental stuff that’s scary
First time seeing this amazing piece of art, I was 6. Sneaking around the corner of the house in the hallway while my older bro was watching it on Friday night frights. Scariest movie I've ever seen. Couldn't sleep for a month lol. Still the scariest. It's a master piece
William Friedkin directed the French Connection - which won 5 Oscars, then he directed the Exorcist - which won 11 Oscars. He was at the top of his game and could do anything he wanted. The next movie he made was called the Sorcerer, it was an action film starring Roy Sheider (Jaws), about a couple of men on the run who sign up to drive rackety trucks full of nitroglycerine across the amazon jungle to a derelict oil rig. It's an amazing film full of intense action set pieces, all done with practical effects (they drove actual trucks across a rope bridge in the middle of Latin America). Sorcerer came out a week after Star Wars and was a huge box office bomb - it crippled Friedkins career, and it was also the end of the Holywood New Wave and the begging of the current blockbuster era. If you can find the movie i highly recommend it.
I'm glad they remastered Sorcerer, but to be honest, it really wasn't as good as French Connection or Exorcist. I heard McQueen was originally approached to do Sorcerer but for whatever reason it didn't work out, so he got Roy. Friedkin thinks it would have been more successful if McQueen was in the picture, but honestly, Star Wars was just to fresh, too innovative of a film. I dont think it would have made a difference.
Jorge Zeraba I can totally appreciate that sentiment, the first time i saw Sorcerer i didn't really like it. It's not as accessible as the French Connection of Exorcist and the ending is extremely bleak. That being said, I highly recommend watching Sorcerer a few times. What i missed at first viewing was the stylistic arch of the film. It starts as a genre thriller, then transforms into social realism, then becomes a strange diesel punk/mud punk adventure film and ends in a kind of noir expressionism. In terms of pure form there are movies like Come and See, Hard To Be a God, and There Will be Blood that explore those elements, but to my knowledge Sorcerer is the only film that does them all at once. In that respect its one of the most sophisticated and unique films i've ever seen.
It was nominated maybe for 11 Oscars not won. It won best sound and thats it i think. And Sorcerer was a remake of an old movie in the 40's or 50s called Wages Of Fear.
Joey Diaz the only man who can describe watching a movie like he was actually there
james brennan crying at this
I was thinking that myself he makes me want to go re-watch the movie.
So much passion for movies. He brings up movies every time he’s on. Reminds me of my uncles. That generation just watched a lot of classic movies
He does that when describing everything.
I'm still crying over this 3 hours later
I saw the Exorcist with a friend when we about 14. We somehow managed to get into the cinema then when the movie finish which was about 10.30 in the evening we had to walk home about four and a half miles in the dark. We got to his house, he disappeared indoors, then I had another mile and a half to go in pitch black across country fields and a small bit of forest. Never been so scared in my entire life.
How did you bloody manage?
Jesus Christ that’s horrible lol
I would have called.my mommy or daddy to pick me up.
Lol
Brooo... fuckkk that lol
Your friend is wrong for not letting you stay the night
Joey diazs breathing sounds like something out of the exorcist
lol
Nah him talking sounds like the demon from the film. lol
I have an aunt that sounds like that. Low key we call the excorcist.
@Birdman bUrrr Bru what? Learn to spell first before you threaten. lol
@Birdman bUrrr damn birdman i knew you were faking it. can't be that dumb. 😂😂😂
I'm reading the book now and it's pretty amazing how faithful they were to the source material. They included so much important stuff and kept a lot of the gruesome shit in the movie. They had so many fuckups and weird shit happen on set that they literally had a priest come and bless the cast and crew because they thought they were cursed. Huge props to them for not making compromises. In my opinion one of the greatest horror movies of the 21st century!
The movie was actually written for the screen by the same author of the book!
holy fuck its Jon Sudano lmao
its from the 20th Century bro
20th century, man.
The book is so scary! The film is great but the book is something else
"Joey Diaz sounds like a diesel engine" - the best description of Joey I have ever read 😂

JAWS and The Exorcist used your own mind to create fear. They didn't overdo it showing the actual beasts. Brilliant directing.
Jaws doesnt have shit on the exorcist lol
Jaws was not a horror movie more like an adventure story.
That's true. In Alien you never see the whole alien at once
The exorcist is a true story. That's why it's so terrifying. her head never spun around and a lot was dramatized but that story was a legit Vatican exorcism about a boy Roland in 1949. The director said he was invited to an exorcism in Rome where the afflictions of the subject were very similar to how they are portrayed in the film. The Catholic Church has had a large influx in exorcism cases recently. Very scary. For the Vatican to proceed with an exorcism, many medical professionals evaluate first. So this is very real
Jaws sucked ass. Exorcist is the ATG of horror movies
"he's a dacta"

As Quentin Tarantino once said; "the 70's years were the greatest time of American movies ever", and movies like "The Godfather" or even "The Exorcist" have left a legacy that endures to this day. Furthermore, The Exorcist movie has aged very well over the years because we're still talking about this at almost 50 years of its release.
The Warriors. CLASSIC

My father who would usually laugh/scoff during Horror movies said that after seeing Exorcist for the first time in the late 70s he had to sleep with the light on for almost a week. That's how much of an impact that movie had back then.

I’d listen to a podcast where Joey Diaz just talks about 70s movies.
The Church of What's Happening Now, Joey Diaz' podcast, he talks about 70s movies about every other 2-4 podcasts.
gravyboy thanks!!
I'd like to see today's kids watch movies from the 60s 70s 80s so they can understand how this world of superhero movies and remakes is such a pile of s***.
The Jerk 60s and 70s for sure. Only a few 80s movies reached heights. Raging Bull, Amadeus, ET, Blade Runner, etc. But some of these superhero movies have been pretty okay. There are just too many of them. The Captain America sequels were pretty damn good, IMO.

I could go on. Basically an effort was made by large studios to produce well made screenplays by talented actors where people still used their own creativity and imagination to see and recreate subject matter that touched people in a way not previously seen. Now we live in the no attention span use a computer to substitute for actual substance era. Now I'm going to go watch one of these now that talking about it has me Jonesing.

"THAT'S HIS FUCKIN FATHA"
Truth
Every movie review is Joey going off on a spoiler-ridden 10 minute recall.
I would pay to listen to Joey talking about The French Connection (another film by Friedkin)
A 100% behind Mr. Diaz on this one. The Exorcist' is, by far, the scariest movie ever made. No cheap jump scares, no 'tension--release- jokes'. Just sheer dread. This movie is filmmaking at its best.
I can't even hear the music at the start without feeling creeped out.
It’s so scary that the death metal band possessed made a song called the exorcist and it’s amazing
I disagree. I personally think THE SHINNING is the best horror movie of all time. The Exorcist is a close second though, still wonderfully horrifying.
@@sumbody694I love the Shinning!
I will NEVER watch the shining lol
In the 70s filmmakers had so much more faith in the audience to figure things out without spoon feeding. Brilliant film
Well put. The films were intended for a MUCH more intelligent audience. Big surprise “comic book” movies are so popular, it matches the intellect of most Americans these days which is sad. Also way more talented filmmakers in the 60’s and 70’s and the films were about more adult themes. Stories with tremendous character development vs special effects with really weak stories and terrible acting, if you can even call it that🙄
technology made us brain dead
@@thomassanio8745 Have you ever seen the original Blade Runner or The Fifth Element? The filmmakers on all those movies were inspired by the art and stories of French comics.
Blade Runner, although an adaption of a book, was also inspired by The Long Tommorow bandes dessinée, which was printed in the pages of an adult magazine called "Heavy Metal". The American version of the French magazine Metal Hurlant or Screaming Metal in English.
The story of The Long Tommorow was written by Dan O'Bannon who wrote the script for the movie Alien. The art by one of the most famous of French comic artists, Jean "Mœbius" Giraud. That comic contributed to the genre of cyberpunk. A genre about dystopias, dangers of technology, and transhumanism. You can see Mœbius's influence in many sci-fi films over the last 40 years.
The movie The Fifth Element is inspired by The Incal, which was another comic Jean "Mœbius" Giraud also did. Mœbius even did some work on the movie.
That comic even influenced Star Wars, which was influenced by Flash Gordan. Some of those 1970s filmmakers you probably like are comic book fans.
I think it has to do more with the studios now strong arming film makers because they are afraid and truly believe the audience is stupid.
So meny classica classics that came out of the 70s. Serpico,death wish, Dirty harry, The Godfather, The Valachi Papers... the list goes on and on 🤯🤯🤩🤩😎
The movie still holds up even for today’s standards. Scary ass movie.

Linda said after the film was released people treated her like she really was a monster IRL. they were scared of her, terrified of a 13 year old. can't imagine what that does to a kids pysche.
It only shows the movies power even more. No one knew what they would have created with this movie.
@@thehorrorcounselors4747 for sure. but also people are dumb to equate a fictional character with a real 13 year old girl.

Joey needs to be on the Rogan Podcast at least once a week
all the time! joey diaz is awesome!
He *was* on atleast once a week but I'm thinking due to the exposure hes gotten from being on this podcast, his comedy shows have more people and his own podcast is bringing veiwers in. I remember last year Joey being on all the time.
Edit: same thing with Brendan and Eddie. They were on all the time but Rogan built then up and now they have their own shit.

It feels like he practically is on every week...
Nobody should be on the podcast once a week
The exorcist is a masterpiece. The sound, the cinematography, the acting, it’s all top notch.
And In 1973. Look at what Else was around at this time. People weren’t even close.
100% and crazy nobody's come remotely close to it since!
William Friedkin
The mother of regan in the movie,Ellen berkin is it?? Unreal performance from her,for me she's the main cog that elevates this movie to MASTERPIECE level.... and yes I know theirs some stellar performances around her in the movie....... but Ellen nails the roll of a mother with a child possessed by the (shirt lifter) devil ...
I know a millennial girl who told me that the exorcist was “stupid”. Turns out she loves all the Scream movies… idiot.
The Exorcist is still one of the most authentic scariest movies, probably the most.

Don't front bro u still have a lil light on haha👍
rubbersole I loved it shit me self as well lol
I watched it at 15, I wasn't really scared while watching it but I couldn't sleep at all that night and it really fucked me up for years, I can't really explain it, I think it's something we really weren't supposed to see
Movie haunted me until I was an adult
Joey Coco is the best story teller I've ever seen.
His rendition of Eyes Wide Shut is fucking tremendous
joey and charlie murphy...
A true raconteur.
You have ever *heard*
Snow Man yes the word I've is a combination of the words I & have. In this case I was using vision & sound to evaluate his storytelling - which, in my opinion, is a better indicator than sound alone. Sorry for any confusion 😅
I watched the movie on a nationally televised broadcast when I was about 10 years old. The scariest movie hands down ever, that movie changes you. To this day 40+ years later I try to block most of it out of my mind so I can appreciate it from a healthy distance. I did see the unedited version about 10 years ago. To watch that movie takes so much out of me, need time to recover and heal afterwords
Are you religious? Just curious to know if that scared you as a horror movie or more as a spiritual revelation type of thing.
@@biohazard8295 mind your business, and of course hes religious, hes american
Bruh, me too! My mom had no clue what I was watching and then there was a tremor and my bed started shaking.... I've never forgotten how messed up that was! I won't ever watch that movie again or even watch movie clips.....and I'm not religious at all but I do believe there are certain lines not to cross.
So did I miss something or what? I just watched this recently on HBO Max & I didn’t see the scene where she’s crawling backwards down the stairs?
@XBrandonLeeX765 IMDb says it was originally a deleted scene, & was included in later versions of the film.
They filmed The Exorcist in Washington DC. The stairs that the priest dies on are in Georgetown behind a gas station. I've smoked so many blunts there lol. Shit is spooky late night though.
lool
Careful not to smoke too much there or you might get so high your head will do a 180. lol 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up in silver spring and we would go there to chill and joke around thinking we would see a ghost or something lol
The house and gas station are still there too. What's really scary is how the rest of Georgetown has become infested with hipsters.
XXthekingofyouXX, the stairs from the movie may be in Georgetown but the House is not. I grew up in Hyattsville, MD, adjacent to
Mt Rainier, the town where the actual house was in which the events took place. As teenagers we used to go and drive around the empty lot (they tore the house down and just left a foundation with nothing on it) but it was always anticlimactic. Since I've moved away I heard they finally built another house on the lot but I haven't seen it for myself.
I’d rather hear Joey Diaz explain movies than actually watch them
Gosh. That's brilliant. I can't sit through movies much anymore. I'd much more enjoy hearing Diaz talk through/explain movies.
deadass
I would be probably more interested and hooked about it if joey explained it
This movie is amazing. The shot of him stepping out of the taxi is still one of my favorites. It really got me into photography.
That movie was shot in Washington DC, next to Georgetown University, I walk by those stairs that the guy fell down almost every day. Scary shit at night time when u look up those stairs
The shot of him getting out of the cab is based on a Magritte painting.
I can see that actually. As much as I never want to watch that movie again. It’s had some pretty amazing shots.
One of the best shots ever. Also the cover of the movie
Someone ranked it the #1 movie poster of all time !
I'm 75 and saw the movie when it first came out. I was not prepared for the intensity and horror, I sat in theater watching while my mind was assaulted. The story, visuals and sound was like nothing I had ever seen. I think the only other horror movie that had that effect on me was the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Now the only thing that scares me in my golden years is going to the doctor and waiting for a clean bill of health.
I, too, saw it in 1974 it's first week out & slept the next 50 years with the light on! Just saw it Sunday at the theater by myself & realized that though it was horrorfying, it was a Great movie and has a profound message for all who have ears to hear!
@@brendabullard8246 Well, we made it this far, the rest is gravy.......enjoy.

Linda Blair actually worked a lot afterwards. She's now an animal rights activist.
She's had roles in over 50 other movies after The Exorcist the last being Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel in 2016
I met Linda Blair at a comic con a few years back, she was super nice and talked with my friend and I for longer than she had to, and she seemed happy to do it. Really nice lady.
Joey is telling the absolute truth here. It’s the most terrifying movie of all time. It made me lose sleep for years. But it did reinforce my faith in god and made me go to church more often
Ur names Singh and u go church??? Liar. Lol.
what makes The Exorcist" one of the greatest horror films of all time isn't the special effects, or the music, it is the terrifying thought that your child has been taken from you, in front of your very eyes, and is being hurt and tortured, and there is nothing you can do about it. The film psychologically grips you with fear, your child has been possessed, and is being tortured, and broken down, and violated ... I cannot think of anything worse that that !
Bingo. Exactly.
No. What makes the movie the most terrifying and creepiest movie ever is the fact that there is no music in the background. Only the opening scene there is the theme, but that's it. It makes it more realistic
Eggzackly. Well put..👹👍
From a dad's perspective
I wonder if anybody here has ever read the book. I hear it’s so much more horrifying. My gramma used to tell me she couldn’t sleep for a month. She is also a devout Christian so I imagine that must have been a whole other level.
6:20 That moment of silence as they watch her backwards crabwalking down the stairs and the shot of Joey Diaz getting Vietnam flashbacks as he stares into the abyss got me dying.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Joe talking about some “Jesus Christ” followed by Joey just staring blank face
The exorcist is pretty much the only movie that ever scared me and gave me nightmares. You can run from monsters, serial killers and other subjects of horror films, but you can't run from demons trying to possess you, there's literally nothing you can do. That's what's so scary. I was paranoid of being possessed for a long time after seeing that movie for the first time.
What I understand from the movie is that strong faithfulness to Christ is your defense. The family in the movie was morally sloppy. Not evil, just sloppy.
Bro for reals it freak me out too i had a big tree in my front yard and i always thought that bitch was going to spider walk down some branch and twist my neck lol
Given the amount of people that reportedly 'get possessed' you should be more scared of getting run over by a bus or dying from a terrorist attack.
Were you 10? There is not a single part of The Exorcist that is scary and it is one of the most overrated films of all time, especially in the horror genre.
U cant run from Jeepers Creepers or Jason
Dark, disturbing and frightening, the exorcist remains an all time great film to this day.
Joe: “didn’t she say ‘you’re going to die up there’?” ... Joey: “no, they were downstairs.” 🤣
😂😂 Laughed hard at that too

Hugely underrated is the 3rd Exorcist movie. Holy shit that one gets under your skin. Superb acting and a serious jump scene. Wow.
That was a fantastic suspense movie it wasn't hard that's why it was so good but that hospital scene with the goal in the white everybody in the entire audience jumped out of their seats almost
Seth Johnson yessss!!!
My mistake...the word "ghoul" not goal.Sorry about that everyone!
True man, it was low-key and had the same atmosphere of uncertainty like the first one.
It was a great physiological thriller.
The 70s 80s and 90s were the best, nowadays everything just feels fake
I highly recommend Hagazussa if you need an example of a new horror movie that stands up to the best of the old movies. Super bleak, dark, atmospheric horror. Slow burning descent to sheer anxiety, paranoia, and existential terror
Frenchy both the exorcist and Scarface need to be seen in their uncut versions! I've had edited copies of both films where certain scenes are cut out. The shower scene with the Colombians is extended, where they cut the leg off after chain sawing the head. The exorcist would cut the spider walk out, and the part with the crucifix. Back in the day they always chopped out parts which were deemed 'too much' for audiences but those versions arent the complete film imo
Like you lmao
Aren’t you like 5?😂
Watch The Witch it is awesome and eerie
I'm 57 years old and have seen that movie dozens of times and the most recent time still gets me as if I was watching it for the first time! Masterpiece! God is great!
I thought Max Von Sydow was the priest?
To me, The Excorcist is the scariest film ever made. There wasn't any "horror music" leading up the climax. The directing was very good.
Top tip = Don't let children watch The Exorcist
Im 46...ive seen the Exorcist atleast 30 times over the decades..i know it well an to this day it STILL puts fear into me during certain scenes.

True story; i rented this movie and watched it with my friend and his mother. When we were at te
He blockbuster i made a joke that the lights would go out after we watched. When the movie was over there was a loud boom and the light on the entire block went out. A drunk driver hit the transformer up the block. He died instantly. Was creepy af. I refuse ti watch the movie to this day.
that is fucked
A friend saw that in the theatre when it came out,TRIPPING on acid, and NEVER got over it!
* When Joe shows the clip of Blair going down the stairs, Joey's face looks like a scared little kid, and he gets kinda quiet.

He does get quiet lol
i remember the first time watching the exorcist it scared the dog shit outta me couldn't sleep for weeks
Same here. And it was the edited version on TV. Oh yeah, been to Posers in Georgetown many times. Next to the famous stairs the priest died on at the end. 😈
@@steveenderman4715 gave me nightmares. I actually avoid that movie at all costs. Any movies about exorcism freaks me out. Some are classics, like the ones based on real events. Creepy as hell. Holy crap!

Why don’t you interview a real Catholic exorcist priest? That would be some good content.
Tom Tal I’ve been watching him since Feat Factor and early UFC. We have so much in common. However, he seems to hate Catholic priests and Catholicism in general. He bashes them without hesitation but is so deferential when he speaks about fighters. That’s one thing I don’t like about him but hey no one is perfect.
Joe is a lapsed Catholic, he seems to have issues with Catholicism. He has spoke numerous times about the tiny minority of pedo priests but ignores the fact that the vast majority are good men
Johnny Green I agree. I really like him a lot, but I hate how he generalizes and bashes Catholic priests like all of them are peds.
You cannot actually. Any Catholic Priest who is a designated exorcist is not allowed to say he is, nor does anyone know except the parties in question during an exorcism. The only person that knows is the Bishop. The only way for Joe to do this is if he interviewed a retired exorcist. If you want some interesting content on exorcisms, look up Annaliese Michel. They even have full audio tapes of her exorcism. Truly disturbing stuff.
Ezekiel don’t know where you are getting your info. There is no such requirement an exorcist stay incognito. Whatcha smoking lol?
Exorcist, easily the creepies, most terrifying movie EVER. It really messes with your head. One of a kind film. Brilliant. There will never be another like it.
One of my favorite scary movies of all time. Heard about it five years ago. I read the book first, then found the movie at the library. It’s amazing! It’s terrifying for me to watch every time.

First time I’ve come across this movie I was alone maybe 8-9 years old on Christmas Eve. We only had 3-4 channels. Came across this movie in the living room with all lights off. I can’t remember what was the last thing I saw but I remember running out of the house and running to my grandmothers house where the rest of my family was and running in there terrified to go back home, the strangest part was when they brought me home lights were on and a different movie was playing. I’ll never forget that experience and cannot watch this movie even with people.
the exorcist was ahead of its time the best horror move ever and scariest of all time
My dad said his mom took him to see the movie. He was 10 when he saw it. After it was over and they left the theater, he looked at her and said "Why would you take me to see that?"
My dad when went to the shops for a pack of cigarettes and never came back
parents were so naive back then. the name alone should be enough to tell you it's not for kids. my grandfather took my mother and her sister (7 and 12) to see Village of the Damned. gave her nightmares for years. my grandmother almost killed him when she found out.
Taking your young child to see the exorcist is pure child abuse.

They said they used a double but that's not entirely true. There's behind-the-scenes footage of the scene being filmed and Linda Blair is clearly involved in the crucifix scene (ruclips.net/video/M0TmHK6e4SM/видео.html).

Well…it didn’t happen because this is not reality. Spirits do not possess people. There is only mental illness
Back in the day people who had mental issues were often considered demonic or possed by religous people, that is what happened to that girl, the movie is good tho
Father John Nicola was my neighbor in NC, he was one of the main Vatican exorcists and he helped with The Exorcist against the Church's wishes (as a consultant)... He's an amazing man - when he moved away, he gave me his old rosary...I can't begin to imagine the things those beads have seen...but some of the stories he told were more horrifying than anything in that movie.
Sorry Saoirse didn't see your message til now. Interesting. Yes there are terrifying accounts I've heard some myself from priest friends involved in the ministry but they have taught me as well that we must never forget that Jesus Christ is always stronger than the devil. Sooner or later, by the power of Jesus Christ all of these demons are expelled. The key is helping victims to understand the power and protection of God's grace in their lives. But so many people today don't believe and aren't open to that reality... a hidden blessing of people who are possessed or even just oppressed by demons is that they are suddenly open, especially when they see that the exorcist actually can help them.
@@frjohn413I'm no possessed but I feel the oppression... I don't wish it again in my new home.... So God will cover me and I can walk in grace? I'll forget my troubles and laugh live in joy... I'm willing if it means Satan will flee

The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, Halloween, & Texas Chainsaw Massacre” forever changed the horror Genre culture. It pushed the boundaries that basically shaped the 80’s, 90’s & 00’s horror. By the 2010’s, most horror movies prioritized jump scares in order to scare the audience. But back then Director’s & producers used psychological intense motives. Some real magic work back then.
The Exorcist to this day is the scariest movie I have ever seen.
Edit: Hereditary was disturbing as well!
The scariest movie I've ever seen was the Japanese "Ring". But Exorcist can easilybe second scariest!

I think that people who think this film is funny are obviously immature and their brains can't handle anything just the surface of what is being presented. Basically you're a dummy with no religion.
Hellraiser is really a disturbing movie
I could listen to Joey Diaz tell stories all day!
The fact they released the classic film on CHRISTMAS DAY! Legendary man
One of many extreme reactions to the movie: I knew a priest who was stationed in D C when it came out.
He was saying Mass one Sunday when a guy dressed like a pimp walked right up to the altar in front of everyone and just knelt down. He didnt move for the whole mass. Ushers asked him after Mass what was wrong? He said that he saw "The Exorcist" last night and was scared to death over it.
The Exorcist is a classic that will never be forgotten.
0:51 when ur car won’t start
I love how everyone just goes silent when jamie plays the crab walk scene lmao
The filming of that movie gives me chills. The making of that has so many stories about what happened on set.
I made my older sister rent this video for me when I was under aged....still to this day haunts me...all my friends boys and girls couldn't sleep...I crawled into bed with my sister that night....My Dad said it was made to scare people into going to church because ot was made at a time when people weren't digging church
If that was why it was made, it worked. There were people literally sleeping with Bibles, and the Catholic Church saw a HUGE spike in confessions.
U need a bf girl 😘
It is unlikely that this was the reason they made the film. Was it a side effect? Probably. But not the reason for making the film. William Friedkin, the director of the film, was and still is a procalimed athiest, so it does not make sense that he would use the film as a form of persuasion to get people to go to church, especially when he himself does not follow any religion.
@@creatinecara The movie is based on a book, which was written by William Peter Blaty, a devout Catholic. I don't think he was trying to sneakily convert people, but the religious themes were not just for show.
Night of the Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist all came out one after the other from 1969 to 1974. None of them have been topped as far as horror movies go.
Uh you forgot to mention garbage pail kids broseph.
If you’re from that era then yeah I agree, foreign horrors are a lot weirder and scarier and push more boundaries. American horrors resort to jump scares and gory scenes so it’s all a bit cheap nowadays but back in the day, I agree there was a level of originality. REC 1&2 are good modern day horror movies
Don’t forget “Leprechaun”
Listing 3 of the most mainstream American horror movies. Yeah you know fuck all about horror buddy. If you tried looking outside the bubble of America you'll find some masterpieces. Fulci's The Beyond, The House By The Cemetery, Suspiria, Ringu, Nosferatu, Nekromantik, Cannibal Holocaust etc.
Joey: and she started hanging out with Rick James.
Joe: Ooooohhh man.
Lol
Decades after the original, and yet, the chills are brand new. Who knew the future could feel so hauntingly vintage? 😱🎥
Watched this movie once as a kid; that was the last time i saw it.
My grandmother was a German horror movie junkie back in the 80s and I’ll never forget the terror I felt watching that damn movie.
I love watching the Exorcist in the complete dark alone. How it was meant to be watched. You have to "feel" this film to truly experience it.
Fuck all that lol
You on some dahmer shit 😭
Joey: A Jewish guy was talking shit about a Nazi and she comes downs and pees and says you’re gonna die!
Joe: Wasn”t it an astronaut? She said you’re gonna die up there?
Joey: He was something! 🤣😂😂
Don’t know which movie Joey saw but his version sounds better lol
Hahah & it had been on AMC the past few weeks where he'd catch pieces of it including that scene; you'd think the accuracy would still be fresh in his mind lol
Joey would say, "Boat!" (Both) 😂
I think he was remembering that dennings guy who called the butler a nazi
People would get dizzy and literally pass out leaving the movie Exorcist, so the theater had a guy with smelling salts to wake them back up.
That part when she crawls down the stairs always gave me chills
There's a difference between scary and demonic. The exorcist was just demonic af. I will never watch that movie ever agin 😭
rox rr yo facts
Word
Some new movies like Hereditary and Witch also fit that category
@@Tony-fq5bn agree
Happens a lot, true if people knew. Talk to priests that need to deal with it, like priests
William Friedkin is an absolute legend. He directed The French Connection as well, which won a best picture at the AAs.
As someone’s who has the exorcist as one of their favourite movies, I just love hearing Joey’s enthusiasm for it 😂
One of the creepiest aspects to this movie is its connection to the 1980 film Cruising with Al Pacino. In that film, there's a serial killer cruising the gay s&m clubs in NYC. Pacino plays the undercover cop assigned to catch him. Needless to say, William Friedkin (the director of The Exorcist) also directed this film and was inspired to work on it because it was based on a true story of a serial killer who targeted gay dudes in the mid 70s. The serial killer turned out to be one of the extras that came out in The Exorcist. He played the male nurse who assists Regan as she is lying on a metal table being prepared for a brain scan. I'll just let Friedkin tell the story himself. It starts about 3 minutes into this video:

Some cinema buff here on RUclips even did a video review on Cruising and he goes on to mention the similarities it has with The Exorcist:

El Rafa oh cool shit
Cruising was a disturbing movie lol
El Rafa not even gonna go down this rabbit hole at this time of night
That's Fucking crazy. Never knew that.
WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this story!! Truly creepy stuff, gave me a new appreciation for both films
No horror movie has ever terrified me like The Exorcist. Thank you for this, really nice description.
I think of The Exorcist as a door.
A door that every time you go through it something more scary happens.
You start to do the math.
But at some point you say to yourself "Ok fine, but the next time can't be more scary than this".
Turns out you're wrong.
And then you're completely terrified of that door.
Joey Diaz is such a good story teller I got scared just from listening.
Back in the 1990’s my friend told me that his sisters wanted to see a scary movie but they are tired of the fake scary movies of the time. So I suggested to rent the exorcist. So he did. A week or so passed and I asked them what did they think. He said that in the beginning they started clowning the movie saying stuff like it’s a 70’s movie and stuff but by the end of the movie they were terrified. He said that they slept with the lights on for a week....personally I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night to take a leak then after I wash my hands and a second before I shut off the lights of the bathroom I get the horrific image of Linda Blair with the pale white skin all cut up, I freaking get spooked. I start turning on lights then shut them off as I pass the switch. I’m freaking 45 years old.
Fil Mart She looks kinda cute but hey that’s just me
SAME FUCKING HERE!! My trauma started ever since I saw a screamer on youtube with her face...goddamn
See, The Exorcist didn’t scare me much, but I think we’re all susceptible to different things. I don’t know if you know the movie Sleepaway Camp, but the ending of that had a pretty heavy reveal. Something to do with the scoring (there’s a whole theory behind music written in the key of D being the most likely to instill fear in someone, but I haven’t personally found this to be true) in thick blasts from an orchestra plus the overdubs of heavy breathing and hissing at the end...it still makes me uneasy til this day. I’m only a few years younger than you and there’s no shame in being afraid of something. Other films that bother people tend not to freak me out for some reason. I woke up once in the middle of the night and turned on the TV and “Casino” with DeNiro, Pesci and Sharon Stone was on and the ending of that preyed on my mind a bit more than average. I think it’s because I just woke up. I watched the last 5 minutes of it or so and tried to go back to sleep. Admittedly, the ending of that film stayed with me and I had trouble sleeping that night.
Continental Aquatics this is true for me in scary movies scenes where it’s a sign of loneliness and desperation is very scary not afraid of ghost or ghouls but man when movies deal with mental stuff that’s scary
Continental Aquatics the paranormal stuff spooks me because I feel if something like that enters your house then good luck trying to get rid of it.
First time seeing this amazing piece of art, I was 6. Sneaking around the corner of the house in the hallway while my older bro was watching it on Friday night frights. Scariest movie I've ever seen. Couldn't sleep for a month lol. Still the scariest. It's a master piece
People would actually throw up in movie theaters when this came out. Then get back in line to watch it again. This movie is one of my ALL TIME FAVES.
William Friedkin directed the French Connection - which won 5 Oscars, then he directed the Exorcist - which won 11 Oscars. He was at the top of his game and could do anything he wanted. The next movie he made was called the Sorcerer, it was an action film starring Roy Sheider (Jaws), about a couple of men on the run who sign up to drive rackety trucks full of nitroglycerine across the amazon jungle to a derelict oil rig. It's an amazing film full of intense action set pieces, all done with practical effects (they drove actual trucks across a rope bridge in the middle of Latin America). Sorcerer came out a week after Star Wars and was a huge box office bomb - it crippled Friedkins career, and it was also the end of the Holywood New Wave and the begging of the current blockbuster era. If you can find the movie i highly recommend it.
Yeah, Sorcerer was epic.
I'm glad they remastered Sorcerer, but to be honest, it really wasn't as good as French Connection or Exorcist. I heard McQueen was originally approached to do Sorcerer but for whatever reason it didn't work out, so he got Roy. Friedkin thinks it would have been more successful if McQueen was in the picture, but honestly, Star Wars was just to fresh, too innovative of a film. I dont think it would have made a difference.
Jorge Zeraba I can totally appreciate that sentiment, the first time i saw Sorcerer i didn't really like it. It's not as accessible as the French Connection of Exorcist and the ending is extremely bleak. That being said, I highly recommend watching Sorcerer a few times. What i missed at first viewing was the stylistic arch of the film. It starts as a genre thriller, then transforms into social realism, then becomes a strange diesel punk/mud punk adventure film and ends in a kind of noir expressionism. In terms of pure form there are movies like Come and See, Hard To Be a God, and There Will be Blood that explore those elements, but to my knowledge Sorcerer is the only film that does them all at once. In that respect its one of the most sophisticated and unique films i've ever seen.
It was nominated maybe for 11 Oscars not won. It won best sound and thats it i think. And Sorcerer was a remake of an old movie in the 40's or 50s called Wages Of Fear.
The exorcist was nominated for 10 Oscars including best picture. It won 2 for sound and screenplay.
As a 51yr old atheist this movie still haunts me. Will never watch again.
What ya scared of??
You’re an atheist. You guys don’t believe in anything
My favorite still is "William Blakely's" The Exorcist.
I know most people probably missed that
he butchers every name......hahahahahaha...i love it
Lol
I have listened to the audiobook about 5 times. 😳 So well written.
