Exorcism

About This Movie

Exorcism is quite a curious entry in the 1970s horror landscape. The film unfolds around a troubled priest, who, after witnessing an occult ritual, spirals into paranoia about possession. The atmosphere is thick with dread and moral ambiguity, as the pacing lingers just enough to unsettle viewers. The practical effects are gritty, enhancing the film's raw edge, but it's the performances that really stand out—especially the priest's descent into fanaticism. It’s not polished, but there’s something inherently unsettling about its premise and execution that makes it distinctive in the genre.

Exorcism has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with original prints being fairly rare. Its VHS releases from the 90s are often sought after, yet still not as common as other titles from that era. The film’s unique blend of horror and psychological torment draws a small but dedicated group of enthusiasts who appreciate its unsettling narrative and raw execution.
