✝️🎬THE EXORCIST: 50TH ANNIVERSARY (ULTRA 4K) + 🍷DRINKS

Details

💀✝️THIS FILM HAS BECOME A CULTURAL REFERENCE POINT
The Exorcist has done for horror what 2001 has done for sci-fi and I truly believe that. It legitimised the genre to audiences who previously considered horror as unimportant, disgusting or perverse. Now that I think about it, this film has gone down many avenues that even horror films today will not go. It was banned in cinemas until 1999, the videocassette was withdrawn in 1986 and considered a video nasty for many years until its official release again in 1999. If you have further interest in this subject may I recommend a very interesting read from the BFI website on Video Nasties in Horror History. You may also be interested in watching this film before the release of David Gordon Green's direct sequel The Exorcist Believer which we have a meet-up for this October.

This film legitimises possession in film and is based on William Peter Blatty's novel The Exorcist, which was inspired by the actual 1949 exorcism of a young boy in Cottage City, Maryland, and the horrifying 1634 Loudun exorcisms. Blatty heard about the Maryland case while he was a student at Georgetown University which I presume is why the film was set there as well. I had the pleasure of visiting Georgetown, the house and the university at the exorcist II, and it's a very nice place. I really do recommend it. For more non-spoiler commentary join us for drinks at the ClubHouse.
