The Exorcist – Director’s Cut
(William Friedkin, 1973, 133 min, USA, DCP)
New 4K Restoration!
The life of the MacNeil family is torn apart when 12-year-old daughter Regan (Linda Blair) begins to act disturbingly erratic and violent. Distraught as her beloved child becomes the subject of a harrowing supernatural possession, matriarch Chris (Ellen Burstyn) turns to the help of two priests to help rid her of her demonic spell. The young, faith-tested Father Carras (Jason Miller) and elderly archeologist Father Lankester Merrin (Max Von Sydow) prepare for an exorcism to vanquish the unholy evil.
A timeless – often deemed cursed – horror masterpiece, the late, great William Friedkin’s seminal adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist remains every bit as chilling now as its first release in 1973.
