A must see! A landmark horror film that made cinematic history in 1973. It is the quintessential horror film by which all others are judged. Often imitated but never duplicated. It will give you nightmares in ways that only the best horror films can.

A haunting prequel to the best horror film of all time - The Exorcist. This film recounts the life of Father Lankaster Merrin before those famous events in The Exorcist. It tries very hard to follow in it's footsteps to provide a similar shock-factor and it very much succeeds. This film is intensely creepy and very gory. Highly recommended for horror fans!
