Linda
Blair projectile-vomiting pea soup has become something
of a cultural joke by now, but actually viewing "The Exorcist," you'll
find it surprisingly hard to maintain a detached, ironic
air. Instead, watching trapped, transformed Regan MacNeil
(Blair) spider-walk down the stairs or make highly-inappropriate
use of a crucifix while her terrified mother (Ellen
Burstyn) looks on, you won't be laughing. You'll be crossing
yourself.
