SINS OF OMISSION - Entry #76: The Exorcist (1973)



This has already been reviewed by yours truly. No need for pictures and a repeat of the filmmakers, cast, etc.

To be clear, this would be my sin, not the book's. I ended up re-watching this one post-BOOK and feeling it needed inclusion into my fold.

BEST OF THE BATCH

At this point, we hit the end of a batch of 100 movies. Believe it or not, this was like three years ago or so...that’s how far behind I am at this. Anyway, absolutely LOVE THIS MOVIE. I consider it to be a true hidden gem. I’d seen it a few times before I warmed up to it as much as I did. Highest recommendation...although don’t expect much - it’s definitely low key in its greatness.
