The Exorcist (1973) Movie Reaction! (F**** ME) *First Time Watching* 

13 year old LINDA BLAIR, SHOULD HAVE WON AN ACADEMY AWARD.

Linda Blair who played Reagan was haunted by this role and received death threats for a very long time from crazed people thinking she was the devil. The set was allegedly cursed, even burning down without explanation and a number of crew died during the period of filming. In 1973, no other film like this had ever been made, there’s no CGI at this point and so it solely relies on excellent makeup and camera tricks, a real groundbreaking horror movie and had people vomiting in the theatre. a short video called The Cultural Impact of The Exorcist is available on RU-vid and actually demonstrates just how nauseous this film made people. Love your reactions man!

The soundtrack for this movie is so iconic

Calls Iraq, Egypt, then says Aztec artifacts are there. Ohhhh man.

The scene where Regan is possessed by Pazuzu and she spins her head and tells her mother “Do you know what she did! Your c***ing daughter” is so horrific and terrified me Also my favourite horror movie is The Thing (1982) i hope you can react to that too

36:57 - This movie isn't almost 40 years old. This movie is turning 50 next year.

18:39 I never understood why she was sitting like that, it looked uncomfortable. I found out she's mimicking the statue from the beginning of the movie. It ties the story back to the beginning, showing us she's becoming possessed by the demon the statue represents and the old priest will be called upon to try and save her. Subtle and brilliant writing!!!

"The Power of Christ compels you!" Fun Fact: The highest-grossing Warner Bros. film of all time when adjusted for inflation. Too Real Fact: Upon its initial theatrical release the film affected many audiences so strongly that at many theaters, paramedics were called to treat people who fainted and others who went into hysterics. And Scene Fact: The scene where Regan projectile vomits at Father Karras only required one take. The vomit was intended to hit Jason Miller in the chest, but the plastic tubing misfired, hitting him in the face. His reaction of shock and disgust while wiping away the vomit is genuine, and Miller admitted in an interview that he was very angered by this mistake.

Horror movies have evolved... from well written masterpieces to a string of jump scares delivered one right after another.

"The makeup on the girl is amazing!" The actor playing the old man was only in his 40's. The makeup to age him up took 4hrs.

I just watched The Exorcist for the first time a few days ago. I almost never have an actual reaction to horror, but this movie had me covering my eyes and looking away. Also the back door was open but the wind kept blowing the door around so it kept creaking which was awful timing.

When he said that it's good that the priest knows how to box in case the exorcism failed he can box the demon out of her I lost it lol

Little did we know...; Alex was actually afraid of the Warner Bros logo appearing. 😨

I would also never watch this alone at night, it would make me feel vulnerable I was gon comment about your The Conjuring reaction before you watched your video. The Thing is one of my favourite horror movies I hope you have a relaxing week with your family!

This movie is 50 years old this year 2023 😮

Haha seeing you react to 17:37 was hilarious. No wonder it was cut from the original film

Exorcist 3 is an amazing film as well

Exorcist 3 is a must watch as well, it's amazing and it's my favourite one!

One thing that the movie doesn't really convey is that Reagan isn't possessed by the devil. She's possessed by the Mesopotamian demon, Pazuzu. He was the most powerful of their demons so much so that others demons feared him. When Father Merron unearthed the statue in Iraq, he unwittingly released Pazuzu. At the very end of the ritual, possessed Reagan ripped off the medallion of Saint Joseph from Father Karras' neck thus removing the protection. This allowed Pazuzu to enter Karras.

Carotid angiography, not X-Ray. They put a dye through there to check if there are any clogs in the arteries connected to the brain.

ou've missed a lot of the movie. Mom was an actress just filing in that city. The house was not theirs. They were just living until the movie was over. You will enjoy movies, and we would enjoy your reactions, if you actually paid attention.

1. I first saw this with friends when I was 12. Back then nobody paid much attention to what rating system there was. I was aware of the head twisting, puking and language so I kind of had an idea what I was in for. What freaked me out the most was the flashing demon. 2. When the doctor is looking at Reagan's skull x-rays and say's there's "nothing in there" I always 🤣 3. The spider crawl down the stairs was NOT in the original release. 4. The demon wasn't trying to avoid the exorcism. He was looking forward to it with Father Merrin. 5. Father Merrin and the demon had a previous encounter where he almost killed the father. Merin doesn't acknowledge the receipt of the note and tells Karras there's no need for analysis. 6. The demon doesn't kill Merrin. From the beginning we know he has a heart problem most likely brought on by the previous encounter. 7 Karras doesn't kill the demon. He does manage to draw it out of her and sacrificed himself for her. 8. Karras is confessing and asking for forgiveness of his losing of his faith.

What is up with the younger generations's freakout at the simple sight of a Ouija Board?!...I grew up in the 60's, and we always had a Ouija board in the house..Played with it all the time!..Nothing wrong with it.....Once you get used to all the Demons hangin' around.

3:34 🤣 !! Aztec demon. Fact : This statue is an accurate depiction of Pazuzu an Assyrian/Babylonian demonic God. There's a scene where Regan is on the bed and is stretching/clawing like she's worshipping the silouette of the Pazuzu statue that manifests in the room.

Watching now, but hoping you and your new family are happy and healthy! We just had a baby boy and it is exhausting!

9:35 "They better not do that again"... uh huh...

1. I was 13 when I saw this in the theater with friends. What rating system they had at the time wasn't really followed that closely. By word of mouth, I was aware of the head spinning, vomiting and language but what freaked me the most were the demon flashes.😱 2. When the doctor is looking at Regan's skull x-ray and says, "Nothing in there" I always 🤣 3. The spider-walk down the stairs was NOT in the original release. 4. The loud banging, and noise with the medical equipment is for our benefit. 5. Father Merrin and the demon had a previous encounter where he almost killed the father. Merin doesn't acknowledge the receipt of the note and tells Karras there's no need for analysis. 6. Chris MacNeil/Ellen Burstyn actually injured her hip when the demon makes her hard fall. 7. The demon doesn't kill Merrin. From the beginning we know he has a heart problem most likely brought on by the previous encounter. 8. Karras doesn't kill the demon. He does manage to draw it out of her and sacrificed himself for her. 9 Karras is confessing and asking for forgiveness for his loss of faith

He is gonna box the Jesus into her 😅

BTW, the older priest s wearing more makeup. Max von Sidhose. He looks like that now but 40 years ago they put him in old man makeup.

11:03 💔Yes. It is hard for seniors. My great grandma hated being in a nursing home. When visitors would leave she'd follow them hoping to get to go home again. It's terrible. 😢

The amount of bad jokes and commentary are strong with this one. 🤣🤣

"She looks very unwell." lol. Understatement.

Max von Sydow (the old priest) was only 43 when this movie was made. Incredible make-up job. This is still the scariest movie that I ever saw as a teenager about 4 years after its release. Especially hearing that voice coming out of that little girl at theater volume was scary as hell (no pun intended). Audience reactions to the movie back in 1973 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SMHbnjVz7uc.html

Many years ago i saw my grandfather possessed, i can't forget that night, still hunts me

The movie does its job when it comes to disturbing the viewers. When an innocent girl like Regan hits this level of vulgarity and on top of that she has these supernatural rages that violate the mental status of the audience. It just exposes us to some deep and dark places 😬

In answer to your question, yes. The "vomit" got into his mouth. The spray was more intense than planned so, rather than splattering his chest, it hosed him in the face. That look of dismay and disgust is real.

Finally justice for Hawaiian pizza lol

Excellent reaction! Only thing I'd disagree with is I think horror movies have devolved rather than evolved since The Exorcist 🤔😅

I love seeing people watch this movie for the first time!

That spiderwalk down the stairs was actually done back then in the original filming, but the director decided to leave it out because the strings were visible. But.... Maybe better, the film has been brutal for 73 even without the "spider walk" scene... If they'd have put that one in either it would have been rediculous, either because of those strings being visible, or too horrifying.... Considering that even without it people got sick or even fainted in the cinemas back then... 🤣 Actually the girl broke her back in the scene where she had those convulsions on the bed

7:35 😹 Falsetto! Holy (Tap) Water!

There was an older woman actress who did the voice over for the demon

22:32 "....that's not your daughter and if you feel you have to throw her out the window too...." 😆😂😆😂😈Stop it!!! Too funny!!!

Fun fact: the actress voicing the demon was Mercedes McCambridge and she did lots to prepare for the roll. She chain smoked, tied herself up, and other things I probably don't know about. Unfortunately she wasn't credited when the movie came out and I think she sued them because of it.

I had this movie on vhs in my closet as a kid, on the way back home one day, I asked my dad what the movie was and he said it was a scary movie and I said “I can watch it, it ain’t that scary” and my dad for some reason let me and my older brother watch it, I was 7 years old and my brother was 10. I don’t remember watching most of it, and I remember being scared shitless hiding under the cover on the couch and all I saw was Regan going down the steps and I covered my face before the blood came out her mouth, I told my dad to turn it off and he did and I remember watching Emperors New Groove to was that movie out of my brain. Around a year later I said I was old enough to watch it now and my dad said fine and he made some spaghetti and I didn’t like spaghetti and I was still scared shitless and my dad said he would turn it off if I finished my bowl of spaghetti. I have not watched the movie in full since, I’m 14 now and I have seen plenty horror movies and I still think it’s the scariest movie ever, I will watch reactors watch it and that’s it, one day I will watch it with friends but never alone in my house

My favourite scary movies are An American Werewolf in London and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho. Discovered your channel a few days ago after your Saltburn reaction which was PRICELESS!! Love your commentary and this is my fifth video I’ve watched. < fellow Aussie! ALSO YESSS TO HAWAIIAN PIZZA👏🏼👏🏼

My favorite horror movie is The Thing, which is why I keep asking you to watch it. Also the set to The Exorcist was very haunted. The girl's room caught on fire, 2 actors died in post production, but their characters also died in the movie. 😱

I just watched this again the other day and found out one of the actors who played regans xray operator was real life murderer during time of filming😳😳

This guy missed so many obvious details it’s crazy 😂

Nice one. Keep 'em coming. Keep your October creepies going with 1976's "The Omen".

The sound you heard outside, right after you said you liked pineapple on pizza, was the ghost of an Italian guy seeking revenge. 😁

17:37 Fact: In the book, the spider-walk is very quiet, and consists of Regan following Sharon (the friend and assistant to Regans Mom) around and occasionally licking her ankle. RU-vid has the whole deleted scene of Regan's spider walk. At the end of the staircase she turns herself around and sticks out a pointy lizard like tongue and tries to lick Sharon's legs and chases her to the front door. Real creepy. 😳

“How many times do we gotta do this?” As many as it takes. If you were listening earlier when they were discussing Merrin they noted that the last exorcism he performed took weeks.

Please watch the film Stigmata. It's another, underrated, Priest/possession film minus the horror. It's more thriller than horror.

31:50 I agree the lack of sound makes this scene very intense. It's an eerie silence.

Congratulations! You are the one millionth reactor I've had to tell that those are heart pills.🎉😂

That novel is good, man. You should definitely read it. The story was too summarized in the movie. It should have been a miniseries.

You just witnessed the definitive horror movie. There was no holds barred, and nothing left undone. Prior to 2000, you would not have seen all of this. A lot was cut from the theatrical version. It is a frightening movie, even for a horror officianoto like me. The crawling down the stairs was the part that got me. Had not seen that before 2000, and was not paying 100% attention when it happened.

I've seen so many exorcism/ demon horror films and this is still the only one that scares the CRAP out of me 😅 took me forever to watch it!

25:13 🤣 The sass..

Well, I would not want to be your next door neighbor looking for peace and quiet if you are in an apt or condo. But I did find your reaction funny and entertaining! I was in a theater watching the Exorcist upon its release in 1973. Horrific! Protests outside. People throwing up in the theater; and, couples leaving the show after traumatic scenes. Never seen anything like it since.

I love the idea of an Aztec demon in northern Iraq. 😂

Right after you said you can get kidnapped a guy in the movie says that’s what we want that’s exactly what we want the guy with the megaphone hahahaha

5:21 '60 Chevy we have my late dad's '58 Chevy in storage

5:32 The "good looking" priest is the dad of a well known actor. Jason Patric who starred in a 1987 vampire flick /The Lost Boys.

For those who missed it, What is important was the child was saved no matter how powerful the adversary . Both Priest sacrificed their lives to save the child. And to offer once life to save others (to follow Christ's example,) is a sacred act which even the demon cannot win. It is also a story of the Priest whose faith was weakened bec of the tragic death of his mother. But later his faith was restored when he realized that he doesn't want the mother to experience his tragedy. The medalion is a Catholic thing. The image is a reminder to the faithful to think of Christ /God. In the opening scene on Iraq it implies that the demon has existed during primordial times. The presence of the medalion in Iraq implies that in the past Christian faithful has used the medalion as a protection against Evil. It should be noted that the possessed child/Megan has to ripped it off from the priest before the evil dpirit could possess him. Also the presence of the medalion in Iraq suggests that the battle between Good and Evil was the present even in the past.

"Apriestiate it" "Captain Rowdy" 🤣

Damn can't believe you hated on Andy barclay he was the shit

The Exorcist still scares the shit outta me. One of the scariest films ever made.

37:45 F**K YOU ALEX 😡😭😂😂 Its freaking two in the morning, I was going to go to sleep! Thank you for the nightmares that are gonna come tonight 🙃😂😭😭😭🌙

Dude please watch the movie big ass spider it's on RU-vid and is something to see believe me

7:30 i just love how you freak out for the window😂😂😂 Plus I would marry to a Hawaiian pizza too ❤🍍

I keep finding out your taste in music is awesome 🤘🤘🤘

I was falling asleep when you did that jumpscare...😤

Doesn’t ANYONE these days recognize NITRO GLYCERIN Tablets for Angina ( Heart Problems) ?

If you like this film check out the omen. My favorite scary movie is Child's play.

The whole reason for being scared of a OuiJa Board is because of this movie. If she was playing chess or mouse trap then would they be scary? I think the Iuija board is made by Parker Bros. They invented it in early 1900s. It was supposed to a palour game to find your inner self. It was to show your inner self and true answers. It has nothing to do with the dead. But like I said. because it's in this movie idiots have put 2 and 2 together ang got 5.

This is still the scariest movie. Your reactions are great Alex. xx

37:46 You did not just do that. OMG you got me good. 🤣

8:43 She grabbed the candle (instead of a flashlight) because it was right there.

It doesn’t take much to scare you does it 😂I love it

It surprised me to find out the guy playing the old priest was actually only in his 30s or 40s at the time. We can do perfect old makeup in the 70s but we can't do it now. Weird.

The voice of the demon was dubbed by Mercedes McCambridge, if I'm not mistaken. She was a formidable actress in her own right--watch her face off with Joan Crawford in the crazy 1954 film "Johnny Guitar"!

17:00 Yeah you saw a face. 👀

Lmaoooo when the face pops in 😭☠️ its funny, because it will be seen throughout the movie multiple times. Bit like a side quest of "spot the face" 😂

The Omen, 1976 Carrie, 1976

1:40 1988's Child's Play because first of all, I grew up on this franchise and a week ago I only turned 16. The rest is a really long story.

Best Exorcist reaction ever!

hey Alex, I don't know if you will see this, but I just wanted to tell you all your videos are super entertaining and enjoyable. so I going to leave a big like on this video. (congrats on the baby!)

Pineapple on pizza: 🤤 Options are vast for pizza, and pineapple is a great one. Haters are basically saying it's not right of you to have freedom.

After 50 years, The Exorcist is still the most shocking horror film ever made. They set the bar for modern horror. They defined what demon possession should look like and feel like on film. Nothing since has even come close.

The stairs scene and the head spin scene are 2 of the scariest scenes ever filmed

Funfact: Due to my traumatization of the one scene in House & other horror movies I watched as a Kid like Evil Dead 2, I had never seen Exorcist till I was a teenager. I finally watched it for the first time, I was actually sent out of my moms room cuz I kept MST3king it & my mom was annoyed that I was laughing at a movie she said was one of the scariest movies she's ever seen My favorite scary movies are Evil Dead 1-3, House, Rawhead Rex, The Relic, Critters 1-3, Nightmare on Elm Street 1,3-5, Fright Night 2 & Most George Romero "of the Dead" movies (excluding Diary, Survival & Night), Return of the Living Dead, Shin Godzilla

You should watch Repossessed 1990 Its a parody of The Exorcist staring the girl as an adult and Leslie Nielsen From The Naked Gun movies...

Not gonna lie you got m with the jump scare

Holy water? I was also afraid when I had read one of Stephen King's books. It lay in my living room with a bible on top of it!

7:56 Tell a woman to calm down? Yeah, that always works.

id have to say the og halloween, I absolutely loved it, also the 2nd conjuring. Got so many chills

So the bedroom was filmed in a walk in freezer and they got the room cold enough for the cold breath scene's that way......well what I heard anyway if anyone contradicts me at all

Finally another Hawaiian pizza lover. Imo it's the best pizza.
