This is the only film that ever really…


Scared me. All of the other so called “scary/horror” movies pale in comparison. I really do not understand why scary/horror is such a popular genre.

It used to scare me more when I was a kid, but I still consider it among the scariest movies of all time, perhaps "the scariest".

Thanks for sharing.

It’s extremely unsettling. Take for instance, when Karras has the dream with his mother screaming out to him; I wouldn’t call that scary, but creepy and unsettling no doubt.

Other parts, where Reagan is possessed in the bedroom, are definitely scary to me.

When I saw the movie at the cinema it was very scary. I ran from my car to my house afterwards. I watched it a few years ago and it is still scary. A unique film. It's doesn't insult the audience's intelligence

Yeah, I saw this when I was in the 5th grade. I was terrified for weeks afterwards. I didn’t wanna stay home alone because I kept getting scared

Recently, I visited Georgetown and saw the house and stairs where they filmed this movie: good experience
