Exorcist, The

The Exorcist (1973)
Dir: William Friedkin

A priest is called to a house where a young girl has begun to show signs of possession.
An atmospheric film that is widely regarded as one of the best of its genre. Though not quite as powerful as when it was first released, it still has some decent scares and solid acting from the leads. After a slow beginning the film really picks up in the second half and there's some truly memorable sequences.
