Have You Seen: The Exorcist (1973)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we discover William Friedkin's horror classic The Exorcist from 1973. Widely considered the best horror movie and the scariest movie ever made, we talk about how this movie comes across to someone watching it for the first time in 2024, how this movie is different from most other exorcism movies, how the horror evoked by this movie has little to do with demons, and much more.
