It may have been made over a quarter-century ago, but it's still scary as hell. The whole dark tone of this movie makes it extremely creepy. It's dark, creepy, exceptionally well-acted, and the chills are all in the right places. Friedkin knew what he was doing when he made this movie. For all of you movie fans that think horror movies equal Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and all these bogus 90's teen horror movies (I Know What Disturbing Behavior You Screamed Last Summer), I urge you to watch this...late at night with the lights out. A masterpiece.
