The recent Fox remake of the 1973 film vindicated itself nicely with its first season, complicating and adding to the story told by novelist and screenwriter William Peter Blatty and director William Friedkin in the original movie. But with Cinemax offering an unedited and uninterrupted showing, in prime time, of the original article, it’s too good an offer to ignore. Next year, The Exorcist will be 45 years old – but it’s still one of the scariest movies ever made. Ellen Burstyn stars as the mom whose young daughter, played by Linda Blair, is acting so strangely a pair of exorcists are called in, with Max von Sydow and Jason Miller playing the exorcists. What a concept, borrowed and adapted dozens of times by other films – but never equaled. Not even close.
