Nalla Trueheart
The Exorcist was just friggin in a class of its own. That movie cant be compared to any other and shouldnt be. It was fugged up.
When I was in school studying Theology of all things; a friend and professor told me the story of his Uncle. He was a Jesuit Priest and at the young age of 29 assisted in a now famous excorcism. Unlike the movie ... he never fell down the stairs at the end. Rather he became mad shortly after and went thru a 10 year "walking coma" By the time he turned 50 he had regained his senses but was always a little skewed. He published some very controvertial books on Origin of Sin, and Original Sin. After the Church started clamping down on his works he became a recluse and finally died in his early 70s. Father Benedict had many chances to talk with his uncle and had alot fo truly "terrifying" stories to tell about the Cristian Art of Exorcism.
Now, (my wife is young and never saw the movie) I told these stories to my wife before she ever watched the movie. And I explained to her how it was based on a true story. After we watched she had nightmares for weeks. For us I am sure that is the best scary movie of all time ........
but i will reserve my rights for the new amnityville horror comming out.
