With THE EXORCIST, William Friedkin (THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE BOYS IN THE BAND) rivals Hitchcock for heart-stopping terror in this deeply horrifying masterpiece that led to religious boycotts, fainting and nauseous audiences, and a commercial success that forever changed Hollywood. Linda Blair plays Regan, a 12-year-old girl possessed by the devil. After exhausting all the options of science, psychology, and medicine, Regan's mother (Ellen Burstyn) realizes the supernatural nature of her daughter's condition and resorts to a religious solution, turning to Father Karras (Jason Miller) for an exorcism. Aided by the mysterious Jesuit exorcist Father Merrin (Max von Sydow), Karras must confront not only supernatural phenomena but also his own inadequate faith and displaced guilt over his mother's recent death, a personal torment Regan uses to manipulate him, but with disturbing results.

A 12-year-old girl, Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) starts to behave rather strangely. She loses control of her body, and strange telekinetic phenomena occur in her bedroom. Her mother, Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), believes her to have a mental illness. Regan is examined by medical personell, who at first seemed to think she had a somatic disease; she is then assumed to have an inexplicable mental disturbance. Seeing as how the doctors can't help, and beginning to believe that her daughter might be "possessed", Chris attempts to get in touch with an "exorcist", a person capable of dispelling evil spirits from a human's body by a religious ritual, and thus meets with Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller), a Catholic priest and psychiatrist. Meanwhile Regan's body has been seriously twisted by the assumed demon inside of her, and she speaks with a strange, devilish voice. Father Karras believes her to be possessed by a demon, and finally agrees to perform exorcism on her, if he can get permission by the Catholic Church. But the bishop decides to hire another priest, a more experienced exorcist, for the job. Father Merrin (Max von Sydow) arrives, and the painstacking act of exorcism can begin ...
