I have "watched" it many times, but there are still parts of it that I have not seen...because they just creep me out so badly!! If the movie is too much for you, then maybe you could read the book. Since a book is something that you can just close and put down if it gets to be too much for you, you should also beware that the book is even a bit more descript and disturbing than the movie in some places. It is intense! However, if you like horror movies...then this is a "must see" for you!

I ruined it for myself when I watched the making of it before watching the actual movie.
I find anything with children to be scary, and that is the purpose of putting children in scary movies.
Some others to watch (if you can):
Flowers in the Attic (an 80s film or something like it)
Children of the Corn (all others were just comical)
Village of the Damned
These are the tame ones. I have others based on real stories, but I don't want you to check into a mental hospital either :).
By the way: A movie is only scary if you put yourself into it, especially psychologically. If you forget to "suspend your disbelief" it becomes stupid and pointless.
These new, so-called horror movies, aren't scary but teen flicks with shock value, exaggerating events that have happened long ago (I'll explain):
Hostel (I have actually never known for tourists to be victim's of madmen)
Turistas (same as Hostel, although it plays on an older urban legend about people stealing your organs and selling them on the black market, also based on fact that some doctors hired people to kill living people for their organs)
Scream (it was more of a murder mystery, I wasn't scared until someone from the theatre ran down infront of us and scared us)
I Know What You Did Last Summer (really big teen flick, pointless at that).
I began watching horror movies, against my parents will, in at least first grade. My favorite were the witchcraft ones, Freddy Krueger, and somewhat Jason Voorhees (alittle Chucky back then, but now am more fan of Chucky then the other two).
These movies are swcary in the sense they are based on an actual serial killer (the same serial killer):
Psycho
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (although psychologically, the insanity portrayed by the family is utter madness)
Silence of the Lambs (Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster's characters share the same personality type, called Mastermind or INTJ according to the MBTI)
Ed Gein (for who these movies are made from, this is the original one now that crappy remake they have now)
Warning: If you are under 18, I'd advise against Silence of the Lambs and Ed Gein because the morbid use of otherwise adult content.

I don't care what anybody else says. I have seen literally thousands of movies, and The Exorcist is still the most frightening movie I have ever seen. It's a movie so disturbing, it stays with you long after you have seen it. I don't recommend watching it at 10 years old, but of course, your going to anyway. Good luck with that.

My very favorite scary movie ever!!! It is very scary, but not the kind of scary you see today. It's scary because it deals with the unknown and to me anything that has to do with religion is scary. Some of my other favorites are The Omen (the original not the remake), Stigmata etc....
Watch the movie, you won't regret it!

When it came out it was very scary. By today's standards it's not as scary (since today scary seems to equal gory), but it is still a bit chilling, and worth the watch.

IMO: I found it really boring and uninteresting. I've only watched it once and did not find it in any shape or form scary at all. I was trying to figure what all the big deal was about. It turns out to be nothing.

When it first came out, it was toutest as the most terrifying movie that ever existed. By today's standards, it has definitely lost a lot of it's scare factor.

I think it's one of the scariest of all time! It gives me chills just thinking about it. Call a friend or two and get the popcorn going. Fantastic show!!

Yep, definitely a movie that goes where no spook has ever gone before.
