The Exorcist
William Friedkin

Region 2 Release
This was never a favorite of mine and I actually disliked it after seeing it on a trashy video years ago, but, and this is a big but, after seeing the new DVD release I must admit to being converted. The picture is so crisp and vivid it's like watching the film for the first time again, and it has a greater impact as a result.
The story of a young girls possession and the subsequent battle to save her from the demon inside her, this film demands to be viewed.
As a package the DVD is close to perfect with tons of extras and a brilliant documentary which explains much of the hard work that went into it.
