THE EXORCIST (1973) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION! 

All possession films owe their existence to this film. There was never a film like this before.

Everybody gangsta untill Linda Blair starts acting.

I must say...It gives me the utmost pleasure to watch 1st timers see this movie. They always start out laughing and joking and then by the end of the movie the look of shock on their faces is priceless!

The Exorcist is the top horror movie still unbeatable even after four decades.

I am cracking up. At the start, you two were joking and laughing, and at about 27:00 the laughing has stopped, the look of shock and horror has taken over and we haven't even hit the third act LOL. GREAT reaction!!!

I love the fact that at first people expect to see just another "spooky horror film", but when you watch this movie, the amount of artistry involved, blows your mind. The superb acting, the character development, the direction and cinematography, the editing, the script, the music and even the visual and practical effects... That's why it is considered a classic! Great reaction!

Father Karras attacks the demon inside Regan Other reactors: *You can’t punch a little girl* You guys: *RING THE BELL LET’S GOOO* 🤣

My friend and I talked her older sister (16) into sneaking into see this movie. All good little Catholic girls, we were horrified watching this movie. At the end, we all were shaking and in tears, so we drove to our church and went straight to Confession!

They don't make films like this anymore.

With the beginning of the film, Father Merrin uncovers the head of a little figurine of the demon Pazuzu, whom he recognized because he had previously exorcised the demon years ago. So then he has a premonition later that another battle with Pazuzu is coming, with the clock randomly stopping and him almost getting ran over by the carriage. So to confirm his suspicions he goes to some old ruins where there is an old statue of Pazuzu and knows for certain when he sees the dogs fighting each other (the dogs of war have been unleashed). The dissolve to Georgetown right after is to show you where this battle between good and evil is going to take place.

“The Exorcist is a horror film, this isn’t very horrifying.” Patience is a virtue 🙂

Fun fact, the director used non actors in several scenes , the med tech that did the cerebral angiography was a real tech named Paul Bateson, he was convicted of a murder in the seventies and was thought to be possibly a serial killer although never charged with other murders.

This is definitely THE best horror movie of all time.

Released almost 50 years ago and it is still slaying audiences. The period from the late 60's to late 70's saw some incredible films, this being among the best. The slow build in any story is to get the audience invested in the characters and care about what happens to them and this movie does that brilliantly. Most younger people that watch this today are laughing and having a good time for the first half and then they find out what film making is about.

There's nothing more fun than seeing young people expect to see a cheesy 1970s horror movie who set out laughing with that expectation, and then get the crap scared out of them a few times. 🙂 50 years later and it's still a great movie.

the faces of the demon that pop up randomly through out the movie is like the scariest part 😭😭

I saw this in the movies when it came out. People actually were getting sick & leaving the theatre. This was at the time scary. Glad new generations are watching these movies.

I did it! After so many re-edits and attempts to upload this video I finally found a way to do it; I'm sorry for having to get rid of the footage! Even the blurs weren't working? I have no idea why this was so complicated and why I had to even mute audio in segments with no footage. I'm insanely sorry for how weird this is; but it's literally the best I can do! I hope the next video isn't as much of a pain lol.

When you guys were freaked out by her going up in the Attic with a candle... All I could think is, "are you boys ever in trouble" 😆

FYI: The little white pills that Merrin takes at the beginning of the film are nitroglycerin pills. They were a standard treatment for a bad heart. so by showing him taking them, Friedkin (the director) tells us his health is delicate and he's probably going to have a heart attack.

Millennials and Zoomers think they've seen everything until they watch 70s movies.

Watching a younger generation watch this film is always freakin priceless, they just have no fucking idea of what they're in for lol.

This IS one of the best films ever made, endlessly horrific yet so well created in every aspect

I love how everyone who laughs at some parts in the beginning, just get so shocked when it gets to certain scenes hahahahaha. Great video! :)

Seeing that you like this you should like "The Omen" 1976.

26:38, Ellen Burstyn actually injured her back in that scene.

Do you youngster realize that when this movie first came out in the theaters that people were having heart attacks and fainting spells in the theaters. People were having nightmares for months, even years afterward. You know kids, we challenged each other to go watch it and make it through without flipping out. I loved watching y'all freak out. I was laughing for half the video at your reactions.

In the beginning Father Merrin feels the presence of Pazuzu, the sculpture he found and the statue he has a stare down with in Iraq- this is the same demon he faced in Africa and the one possessing Regan.

Imagine how scary this damn movie mustve been in the movie theatre back in the days.

don't watch Exorcist 2. Go straight to Exorcist 3, director's cut if you can.

The first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture. Linda Blair was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe. The picture won Oscars for best adapted screenplay and best sound.

Satan was after the young Priest, he just used the girl to trap him. He felt guilty about his mom, he could have been a rich boxer, but he chose the Priesthood, so he felt guilty, thus he was losing his faith. Satan used the girl to get him to welcome him in. The ending scene had a Stuntman that actually jumped out that window and rolled down the stairs, pause the movie and you can see half-inch rubber mats on each stair, LOL. He was cool, they asked him, how did you do it, he said, Zen man, just let yourself go, dude.

People always start out making jokes until the head spins around.

And for another medical fact, the tiny pills that Merrick takes in the beginning of the movie are literally nitroglycerin pills. Back in those days people took those to literally explode their arteries so they wouldn't get clogged and trigger a heart attack....yup state-of-the-art pharmaceuticals (in the 70's) lol

"Who's this old guy?" (chuckle, chuckle) Only the title character. No big whup.

What a sacrifice he made 💔 He was such a hero 😢

@13:57 Schools and doctors back in the day use to hand out that shit too much. I went to a religious school in kindergarten and first grade and they told my parents to put me on that because I was hyper, I was a silly rambunctious kid. I hated it and told my parents I felt like I was on a boat. The classroom literally looked like it was rocking back and forth. My parents immediately took me off it and I switched to a public school the next year. I never had any problems or suggestions that I should be on it again. I hated that school!

This film scared the hell out of audiences. The visuals, the language was really out there for it's time. Aside from selling out theaters, they had to keep smelling salts on hand in case people passed out. People just got up and left out of fear. There are some really cool videos about audience reactions you should check out about it.

The beginning was the old man and the image of a demon, facing off, with the two dogs battling, indicating their up coming fight!

I watched this movie when I was 13 yo. You have to remember this film was totally shocking for 1973 audiences. We are so used to horror movies nowadays but this is a psychological movie as much as horror. I'm still traumatised by it. That crucifix scene freaks me out to this day.

I love how it's always like this in any reaction to The Exorcist. In the beginning, nobody pays much attention to what's happening on the screen, they can even make fun of some scenes, but when the end gets closer, the audience's involvement with the movie story is very clear. So, in the end it's always the same thing: perplexed faces, devastered people, blown minds and a lot to think about for the next few days. This is clearly one of thoses movies that wears us out little by little. Best horror movie ever! That's it!!!

The Exorcist was actually released for Christmas back in 1973. It was Warner Brothers' big Christmas movie. Lol

When the mother was thrown back against the wall with the window they used cables to pull the actress to create the illusion of the throw. She hit the wall so hard that she suffered permanent back damage. She wasn't paralyzed or anything like that, but she had chronic back pain afterward.

Absolutely love the two of you together. Your chemistry is so much like mine with my brother. Do more movies together. The banter is awesome.

You should have seen The Exorcist in a darkened theatre with all the nervous vibe in the room because of all the hype around it when it came out! It had MUCH more of an impact! You have to realize that at this time there had been NO horror movie even close to this. When I went to see this movie we were seven in our group. My brothers, sister, sister-in-law and a close family friend. At one point my eldest brother who was 25 at the time flew out of his aisle seat and landed in the aisle. When he recovered he walked out of the theatre and didn't come back. Us being Catholic we could identify more closely to what was going on in the movie. We understood all the religious things happening. Also, we knew this was based on a true story. For me, well for days afterwards, when ever I closed my eyes I could see Regan's face at its worse. To this day I still feel this is the all time best horror movie. I loved it when you guys said at the beginning "Are you excited?" and "No". I KNEW you would change your mind and you were in for a big surprise! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

All practical FX as well. No naff CGI. Looks way more effective

Putting in context....This movie came out 5 years before I was born, and I am almost 45 now. The shear artistry and acting in the movie it what always lands it on the top of the horror genre. And clearly watching people see it for the first time, it still holds its own within the new horror flicks.

Invest in a headphone splitter.. listening to movies in one ear literally gives you half the sound. You are both missing parts of the audio, because some are only in one ear. hahaha

Sometimes now people kinda shrug The Exorcist off but when it first released, there were people who were genuinely scarred by this film.

I was five months old when this movie came out. My father went to see it with friends while my mother stayed home with me, as she was too freaked by the crazy press it was getting. People were puking in the theaters and running out, etc. My father came home, and was telling my mother all about it. It was well after midnight, and as he silently explained the story to my Mom, I slept a few feet away in my crib. As he was whispering about it, a large glass picture frame fell from the wall, smashing to the ground and scaring the crap out of them. They shrieked out, as they were already spooked from the movie. It sent me into a crying fit that lasted a half an hour. So technically, this movie scared me even before I knew what ANYTHING was. And it's been creeping me out ever since.

Lol.... love it when you both echoed "again" in unison

The demon was voiced by an actor from my hometown, she put herself through a lot to make those incredible sounds.

Quick exolaination of the intro. Merrin (the priest you meet at the beginning) already exercised the demon pazuzu from a kid in africa. Pazuzu isn't taking the loss well so he picks another to possess (reagan) with the intention of drawing merrin into a final confrontation. The dogs fighting represent the fight between pazuzu and merrin, the statue and the status head are both of pazuzu, considering he was a god in mesopotamia

They will NEVER make a film like this again.....100 years from now it will still be scaring the shit out of people

When you consider that this film was based on an incident with a young boy in st. louis in the 1940’s, it makes this film all the more frightening.

The '80's movie the Changeling with George C. Scott was so scary I fainted when the recording was played back after the seance lol. Such a fantastic horror movie. So many people protested here in Canada because they got to burn down the historical estate for the movie.

Best horror movie ever made. If you think this was early 70s - no CGI. Early audiences came out absolutely terrified.

Liked the review, your brother looked genuinely traumatized when possessed Regan was climbing down the stairs (which scene btw was not in the theatrical cut which is my favourite).

when I saw this the first time the theater was empty but for myself and two guys who sat behind me and were joking around just like you guys did until it got serious and they started losing their shit and I ended up smiling through the scariest parts because they were '...oh shit..oh fuck...oh no...' through the rest of the movie.

A little Exorcist trivia. When Linda Blair is flopping around on her bed. That isn't CGI special effects, she was actually being pulled violently by wires. And when that happened it damaged her back for the rest of her life. According to Google: "Yanked violently around in harnesses, both Blair and Burstyn suffered back injuries and their painful screams were included in the film. Burstyn injured her back after landing on her coccyx when a stuntman jerked her around using a special effects cable during the scene when Regan slaps her mother".

I remember watching the directors cut in the early 2000s. It's incredible how ahead of its time this movie is. The scares still hit hard, I remember watching the stair case scene in dobly 5.1 surround sound. One of the scariest moments I can remember watching a movie. Like many have suggested watch the exorcist 3. A very solid follow up.

"goodbye" on the ouija is how you break the connection with the spirit/entity you are communicating with (or they break it by swiping goodbye). PS don't mess with ouija boards

You can see why this movie won the Academy award for best sound!

You: for Xmas we're going to watch The Exorcist. Me: my kinda Xmas 😀

Lovely Christmas special. Reminds of when I was young and my mother brought home 'Blue Velvet' for Christmas. She meant to pick the one about horses, 'National Velvet'. Poor Mum, but Blue Velvet was always going to be more entertaining.

Even with all the demon stuff, the medical stuff is still the creepiest bit of the movie lol

Can you imagine that they have probably seen 100 possession movies & still watching this movie makes their jaw drop. No other movie will ever do it like this one. They pushed so far nothing can top it.

Shit gets REAL in this movie 😩😩😩. Not for the faint of heart. What I like though is how Father Karrus didn’t realize that he was anointed. He took regular tap water and sprinkled it on Regan, but it became holy water from his touch and that’s why it burned. The characters that were built throughout this film were amazing.

What we got to see of your guys reaction was great. Sorry RU-vid was giving you such a hard time with this. I've seen other reactors do this movie and not have to cut so much. Still enjoyed your reaction.

Dudes this film won Best Picture at the 1974 Golden Globes, and it was nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Sound Mixing and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film that won Best Picture was the caper comedy The Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman.

Also, The Exorcist was up for 10 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress. It won Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay.

when her head spins around the first time the expression on your faces is priceless

One thing I’ve always thought was scary about this movie is that the scary parts are just terrifying on their own. There is no music leading up to it to tell you to be scared. The scenes stand on their own as terrifying.

"It looks like Trump" I'll never unhear that.

You have no idea the satisfaction I got from your smiles being wiped off your faces.

The movie was released the day after Christmas in 73

The playdough sculpture Regan makes at the beginning of the movie resembles the statue in Iraq

first of all i want that gizmo hat. what really sells this movie, is not just the disturbing parts. But how the audience really care about Reagan and her mother situation. She did almost everything to help her daughter. She was so desperate that even went for a priest just to see it could help. Ellen deliver every single emotion and he feel all of them. In the end, the gizmo hat guy is kinda "i just wanted a happy christmas movie and you made me watch this"

You just can't imagine the effect this had on the public at the time. Unlike any other movie ever.

There's a reason this film made the first theatre-goers to see it feel nauseous and afraid... 🤣

Your reaction to the older priest saying; “let’s rest before we start again.” AGAIN!!!?? 🤣🤣🤣

18:44 It's called a "spinal tap."

the priest sacrificing himself is such an awesome ending

You guys cracked me up! In1975 I was 9 and my uncle and his friends took me and my cousin to the drive in to see this movie. I was horrified at first and then I watched it. I slept with my mom for a week after seeing it. This movie certainly shaped my love and devotion to horror films. Please keep up the good work!

These brothers look rather young, so I should explain. Before email or SMS texting were widely available, it was common in the 1970s for spirits imprisoned inside their own bodies to send messages by scrawling them on the inside of their tummies, to be read by passersby.

Just seeing your video. Laughed my ass off at your reactions, especially your twin brother with the beanie. Your reactions were priceless. Imagine how the audience was like back in 1973?? People fainted, threw up, and protested the movie, it had never been seen like that before. These days it is nothing compared to today's horror movies. The movie was banned in some theatres. I snuck in when I was 13 I REGRETTED IT. Nightmare for days. Good to see newer generations watching the classics!! LOL

I was born in the 70s and I will admit when I saw this movie as a kid it scared the Fuck! Out of me!!

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 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

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is REALLY good.

This is the only movie that ever freaked me out and I watch horror all the time. There is just something about it.

I love that this movie is over 50 years old and still scares the crap out of people.

I watched this movie as a teenager, in syndication, so my mother recommended that I rent it when I was about 17 after telling me how extreme and ground-breaking it was. Based on what I had seen, I didn't get it ....and then I saw the full, uncut version. O. M. G. The scene with the crucifix has STILL not been overshadowed by any modern horror film. This movie crossed lines that even today's movies don't cross - Holy shit!!! And the fact that it permanently affected several of it's cast (not least of which, Linda Blair), tells you everything you need to know. Another exceptional reaction guys!

This s the scariest movie I ever saw, but you two had me laughing the whole time. Your reactions were hilarious.

I love your reactions! one minute your laughing and the next minute shocked expressions.

A classic. Who would think that a scary movie made in the 70s could stand the test of time. 🙈😵‍💫

The old priest at the beginning of the movie is an Exorcist. He has had experience in a couple of exorcism, and the last one almost killed him. The artifact that the dug up was a demon that the catholic church had buried. The priest realized that there was going to be a possession some where in the world, so he.climbed up on the hill to stare at the statue of the demon because he knew he was going to be called on to perform and exorcism by the catholic church and he knew he had to get prepared for the battle, because he knew he had to pray up and make sure that the devil couldn't used any psychological thing against him. What is so scary about this movie, and it affected me so bad, I xouldn't even sleep inside a house for 3 months. What makes this.movie so scary is that it was based on a real life true story, but it was a young black.child that a demon had passed. The real scary thing about the movie was psychological for me, because at 17 years old, I couldn't phantom that the devil was so foul and to me, God wasn't.powerful enough to work thru the priest to exercise the devil out of this young innocent child, and the devil did some.of the.most foul thing against her, and to.me I.couldn't understand why God would allow the.devil to destroy this young child's body and.mind like it did. The young priest used to be a boxer before he became a priest, and the reason the.movie is showing you these different people is because, they all had some unbelievable sins in their lives that they.only hid. Some each had their own thing to iver come with God, and the innicen little girl was possessed by the devil do to her mother's sins. So you have to go back and watch the entire movie to where it isn't stopping and starting back up to really get the reason why it was such a psychological terror to every one. The graphics were great back done, but.we know that the present youths of today and younger adults are used to great computer graphics, but all of these graphics was because of great directing. You have to watch and follow what each main character is going thru. If you are performing an exorcism, you can have anything in your life that you have done and try to hide from.others, because the devil has some.powers simular to God, in that, he is able.to see your inner thoughts and sins, so he uses it against you, and it is what he did to everyone that came into contact with it. So to me at the end, I felt that God didn't win this horrible battle, and you will see atnthe.end what happened to the youn priest, and remember he was a fighter. So his belief in his calling as a priest was powerful.enough, so the devil used it against him.

You could be the first person on RU-vid to react to The Long Kiss Goodnight, my favorite Christmas action flick ever. Samuel L Jackson in his personal favorite role.

You guys faces are hilarious during the scary parts,looks just like mine when I saw this for the very first time over 30 years ago!!!!

Considering it’s a almost 50 years old movie, still kicking ass ! A real classic masterpiece! One of my favorite movies of all times… I just love it …. And you guys look like enjoying as well… keep it up 👍🏼

These are two nice guys who are seemingly amazed... by everything.
