i'd say rip friedkin, but tbh he sucked ass and the exorcist is mid at best. i do like this single shot of father merrin though.
#4.txt#richard friedkin#my big controversial movie take is that the exorcist is fucking mid#it's not scary it's not interesting and the knowledge of how batshit friedkin was on set rly ruins some scenes for me#like when u watch karras administer the final rites to dying merrin#and u just know that he looks so distressed bc friedkin hit him in the face#or when a phone rings and karras jumps up and it's bc friedkin shot a gun right next to him#unhinged fucking behavior!#if ur actors don't perform to your liking - change the actors! don't physically abuse them holy shit!#my even more controversial opinion is that the exorcist 3 > the exorcist#and u might ask oh but what about the exorcist 2#look. listen. that movie had potential. it also has james earl jones.#but even i can't find it in myself to defend it#the exorcist 2 fucking sucks#this one time the critics are right
