Review of The Exorcist (1973) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 25 Dec 1976
The Exorcist's strength is that it places character development on the same level as the horror elements, but it is not a ground-breaking motion picture. It is also too long, with a setup that could have accomplished the job with equal effectiveness in about 2/3 the time.
