The Exorcist
Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Place 7, WC2H 7BY London, Chinatown
About
A horror film about an exorcism, loosely based on actual events and one of the most profitable horror movies ever made. Directed by William Friedkin, it stars Max von Sydow, Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair. When young Regan starts levitating and speaking in tongues, her worried mother seeks medical help in vain, until a priest believes the girl may be seized by the devil and the church sends in an expert to perform the difficult exorcism.
