The version you’ve never seen. Ten minutes of extra footage carefully integrated into this extended directors cut.
Controversial and popular from the moment it opened, The Exorcist endures as a defining classic that influenced movies afterward and still shocks and haunts today.
The frightening and realistic tale of an innocent girl inhabited by a terrifying entity, her mother’s frantic resolve to save her and two priests — one doubt-ridden, the other a rock of faith — joined in battling ultimate evil always leaves viewers breathless.
In the Extended Director’s Cut, director William Friedkin and producer/screenwriter William Peter Blatty integrated over 10 minutes of footage deleted before the film’s 1973 release. They include moments deepening the impact of a first-rate ensemble’s remarkable performances and reinforcing the film’s grip on its audience. A phenomenon of its time and for all time, The Exorcist astonishes and unsettles like no other movie.
MPAA Rating: R Rated R for strong language and disturbing images.
