The Devil Made me do it!
8 May 2023
Firstly the Exorcist was an excellent movie. But, you know, it was a movie.

Well, it's a heck of an alibi. Certainly nailed the voice. She looked half way between coming up on an ecstasy, and half coming down off heroin.

Hocus Pocus, mumbo Jumbo. Call it whatever, the evil that men (and women) do, is done by men: not gods! Just my opinion, but seems a reasonable assumption.

Maybe her father had something to do with it. I notice when it was his turn to get blessed her head nearly turned backwards. Some sort of personality split.

Father Amorth is still an interesting figure, and although brought up a Catholic, I had no idea real Exorcists existed.

The fact that William Friedkin was in it and gets some screen time, makes it worth watching for fans.

Additionally, fact or fiction, its an interesting phenomena, and I am not aware of an exorcism being allowed to be filmed before. Whether its an African Voodoo ceremony, or an Italian Catholic ritual, they are anthropological studies which are well worth documenting.

They never state who is taking over the position Father Amorth held-it would be interesting to see who succeeded him.
