Dead Birds atmosphere, gave me "chills".

Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, dug into my head mentally. As did Eraserhead.

The Exorcist, simply, did not show me anything, I haven't already seen. At no point in the film, did my skin go all tingly.

As I did say, I enjoyed the movie. It just did not have a lasting impact.

And another question for you two; Why are you trying to tell me, that my opinion, is wrong? My reviews, are simply my opinion. And my opinion, is that it's a really good movie, but not really a frightening one, like all the hype around it suggests.

:rolleyes:

If The Exorcist, frazzles you people to the marrow in your bones, then, by all means, be scared. If it is an awful movie to you, then please, don't watch it.

End.

:cool:
Hey no need to get upset. Now you've explained yourself, opinions are opinion, so be it. I just didn't think "there weren't enough scares" was a good way to describe why you were let down by the film. What are "scares", really? That's all I wanted to know.

To each his own.
