According to the director, William Friedkin, this movie is not meant to be a horror film.... I disagree. The story focuses on young Regan MacNeil, who has begun showing signs of horrific disturbance in emotional and physical appearance. Her mother desperately searches to find doctors who can identify the problem and cure Regan of her illness. After exhausting all avenues on the medical world she must seek help from the spiritual realm to save her daughter. She enlists the help of Father Karras & Father Merrin to free her daughter from the darkness which has taken her over. Outstanding visual direction, screenplay & direction make this a classic which still comes in as a top 10 horror film. I also recommend watching the Director's Cut version of this film, preferably on Blu-Ray...... as they cleaned up the movie and it makes for a better viewing experience. *Please note: this movie is extremely graphic and meant for adult eyes only*
