The Exorcist. 09/10

"The most terrifying movie ever made" might sound like an over-hyped tag to today's viewers, but I can see what kind of impact it made back when it was released. The whole atmosphere of the possession affecting the normal life of a common, everyday mother & daughter is shocking enough...and the subsequent exorcism, plus some of the really intense visuals...can shake the hardest of hearts.

Too bad the sequels couldnt replicate the sheer visual impact of the original, or the Exorcist franchise would have been unparalleled in the horror genre. This is THE milestone in on-screen visual terror, oft repeated but never bettered. Ever.

The graphic *expletives* uttered from the mouth of a 12yr old child also contributed to the shock factor.

We take our ease of expression very much for granted these days - it's not a big deal anymore!

But, yes, for it's time, The Exorcist was one of the king's of horror for impact. It certainly did affect people.

Evil Alien Conquerors

This might be the the worst movie to be released in the new millenium. It was just a bunch of unfunny jokes followed by bunch of shameless whoring of Sun Chips and Smirnoff Ice followed by a bunch more unfunny jokes, all wrapped together in an incredibly moronic plot and poorly made film. This would easily by one of the lowest F grades I've ever dolled out, but there was 1 character that showed up ni the 3rd act that was actually quite hilarious and he was enough to pull the grade up to a...

The Thing From Another World. 08/10

In many respects, its superior to JC's remake - like sympathetic characters, excellent atmosphere and pace, and some really neat direction and scripting. But the story is somewhat different in patches of course, and thats where JC's remake scores. The effects look really dated (but of course!), but they were pretty much decent for a 50s movie.

Overall I enjoyed it for the most part. Its a great movie. No wonder it inspired JC so much. Thanks again to alky and Z for recommending it to me.
