If you know anything about me, you know that I think The Exorcist is objectively the greatest horror movie of all time.
But even with the great ones, they have their detractors. Today, I’m going to read and react to terrible reviews for, The Exorcist.

Read terrible reviews for The Evil Dead (1981) there's got to be some negative reviews.
No no NOOOOOOOOOOO
Ohhhhh I like that
I feel like Im gonna get pissed of lmao
I went to a screening of the exorcist at a famous theater here in nj about 5-6 years ago. I guess there were people of a younger generation, because they were laughing at some of the scary parts like the head twist. I guess it didn’t stand up to modern effects for them. It really ruined the atmosphere of watching it, especially because I wasn’t born when it came out so it was probably the one chance I’d have to see it in a theater.
I just don’t see the humor in it, and never have. A small child going through such torture, in such explicit ways, should be unsettling to anybody
I went to a screening about a year ago. I enjoyed seeing it with an audience, even though It may have been the 100th time I’ve watched it in my life. 😂
the dream sequence scene is really powerful
you should read good reviews for final destination 4, pretty sure its the most hated one
Oh Christ. Now that’s a doozy lol. I hate that movie
Why do kids keep hating on horror classics
I wish I knew lol
I'm sensing a trend of younger movie viewers going into a horror film like it's a pop-up haunted house. Walk in, a few guys in masks jump at you randomly, you get out. Just quick, cheap adrenaline hits.
I'll probably have to re-watch the Exorcist again someday. I've only seen it once and that was years ago. But I have seen William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist 3 like a dozen times now and absolutely love it.
Again, not an exorcist fan. I watched it, said "Really? This is one of the most terrifying films ever?" Exorcist and religious horror is generally not my genre. Probably because I can't take it seriously. I remember my mom and I were watching an exorcist movie in the early 2010's and when it came to the "Christ compels you" scene of the movie, my mom and I both looked at each other and laughed, and my mom is religious! And I only went to see the movie because my mom wanted to go see it. I had zero interest in the film.
Hell, I've even said in past comments "The exorcist isn't even that greatly directed" by that I meant "It isn't like a Dario Argento or Sergio Martino movie." Of course The exorcist is well directed, but compared to my italian horror masters, no it isn't. But again, it's like.....really, your gonna compare the exorcist to Argento and Martino and say it isn't as good? Or an American giallo like Blow out with Trovolta....okay, not everybody is a big giallo fan like you.
And I have thought about giving The exorcist a rewatch, since I was biased into thinking "this is the scariest film ever made." and I just ended up scratching my head. You know, it's like the film I start counting. I watched it last year and it isn't really a horror film. it's more "horror light." I gave it a rewatch this year and really liked it, far more then the last time. First time, I liked it enough, second time liked it even more since I knew what to expect and wasn't expecting it to be a horror movie.More of a drama then a horror movie. I really loved the acting and drama in the film. So....I might actually really like The exorcist once I divorce it from it's reputation and just enjoy it from an artistic family drama slow burn with some horror in the mix.
As for "bad acting" Come on, I don't like The exorcist, but the acting is great by everybody.
The lighting is good. The music is good.
I think one of the major reasons why I don't like the exorcist is the same reason why I generally don't like ghost movies. I like a few, but...like for instance. Poltergeist.....the chair scene.....WHY WOULD EVIL SPIRITS DO THAT?! You know, The frightners made fun of this "The toilet lid flaps up and down" "The bed levitates." ......WHY?! Because the "ghost buster" Michael J Fox is a con man who can see and talk to ghosts and the ghosts are his friends and they mess with people so he can "exorcist" the house. Or the film Beetlejuice. The walking talking sheet ghosts "GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE!!!!" It's stuff like that in ghost movies that just make me go "I can't take this seriously." As John Landis said "What The exorcist does is take a ridiculous premise; the power of Christ compels you and all that and you totally buy it." I can't buy it,lol. It's very rare for me to like any exorcist type movie. In fact...I don't think I like any exorcist type movie. So why don't i like the exorcist? Because it's an exorcist movie. I can't "buy into it" because the entire appeal/premise of the film I aint into. I aint into possession movies. But again, might be hope for me yet. I might end up looking past the plot of the movie and enjoying the acting and artistry that went into the film. The directing, etc.
Been taking a back seat on the comment sections lately, but wanted to just say that I been enjoying your content and especially these type of videos. Always funny looking up bad reviews for great films! You will have a hay day doing this for the SAW movies lol. Most people were insanely harsh on those films. Anyways, keep up the awesome work Nick, you’re killing it man!
Where to start ... I can't help but think a lot of these reviews are made for an audience, simply to get likes and comments .. The people who wrote these reviews either paid very,little attention to the film or simply couldn't be bothered to follow and understand the film, especially how dark the subject,matter truly is ... This film is 1973 , the year I was born, so would've been shocking back then - just,as it is today ... Some of these "reviewers" clearly don't like and/or understand the simplicity,if human drama and the horror that comes with,it ... They also don't seem to understand the simplicity,and beauty,of storytelling .. The films a slow burn because they use the characters to tell a story and build up to where it needs to be ... The Exorcist is a classic and a masterpiece, simple as that ... This modern generation seems to lack,appreciation for such things - how many if their favorite films wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for the Exorcist?
Most people nowadays have the attention span of a tick, so I would assume that if shit isn't jumping out at them, they aren't entertained. The Exorcist is not just a horror movie it's a master class in film making and should be respected.
Weird timing on this one. I just put on Criterion. Scrolling through and there’s The Exorcist. It’s probably a sign I should watch it, but it’s too dark a movie for me tonight.
I’ve been watching this review series from you, and there just seem to be lots of trolls. I’d like to see some thought out criticism of these classics. It would be more interesting.
”No jumpscares” like thats a negative?? What lmao?
Sorry I made you suffer but you know that video had to be made but it could’ve been much worse I could’ve asked you to react to positive reviews for Skinamarink but we would all lose
Hating on this film by young people is just the old "we can't like what old people like, even if it is good". They try to pretend everything in the past sucked including music and fashion. Some of it is the insecurity and envy that most things today are worse than the past.
I think one issue with The Exorcist is that it is faith based horror. Even putting the film’s age aside, many people in today’s society in America have moved away from Roman Catholicism and the church for many reasons. Since this narrative relies so heavily on Christianity, I think that might taint the film for many modern viewers who have long moved away from the church. Certainly, the film can be read from other contextual perspectives than that of faith, but I believe that many modern viewers only read it on the surface, and if they do not believe in the faith that this film is based on, it will not have the same effects on them.
This movie is as awesome that the English language does not have an adjective to describe just how awesome it is.
So, here we have a video on “negative Exorcist reviews,” which really means “idiot reviews.” 😂
I think most these people are younger. They are trying to “act” cool. I would love to hear what movies they think are scary. I think these younger people think a scary movie is good if there is like 3 or 4 jump scares in them and nothing else.
10:00 "you spell your name as 'Geoff', so like, shut up" 😂😂
Does a movie really have to be "scary" to be good? I mean unless you're watching most horror movies as a young child what movies are scary? Especially these days as most of the movie going audience are beyond desensitized to horror. There should be a test to take before you're allowed to review a movie. 🤦
No, it absolutely does not. I can’t stand lazy ass “reasons” for saying a movie isn’t good. Just because it didn’t make you jump, doesn’t mean it’s bad
Thank you for this video . Fun to watch.
2:03 just wanted to rage quit 😂
psycho would be a good one to do one of these days . love the content bro
Nick stay grinding
My only issue is yes it's slow and boring until the halfway point, I can see the impact it had on horror and film in general though and surely don't hate it.
Yes, but I think the first half of the movie spends time patiently building its characters. The novel did the same thing.
Bro, I’m just curious why do you care what a bunch of stupid critics think of films that 99% of people love and think is a classic. I mean you did a video on Halloween now the exorcist come on dude fuck what other people think. Like their opinions don’t matter because the fact is pretty much everyone else in the entire world loves these movies especially Halloween. I mean it is literally one of the most important horror films in the horror genre I mean, it literally changed the game. Well, actually, I take that back. I think psycho really was the game changer, but then Halloween brought it to a whole other level. Like for example, it gave birth to a genre, which is what we all consider as the slasher genre. so honestly dude who cares what those people think because I don’t.
I don’t care lol. Content creators do this kind of thing all the time. It creates conversation and it’s fun.
I like RZH2 and Ends, I definitely don’t take anyone’s shit to heart lol
@@TheLostRiverDriveInyeah I know u like RZH2 Ends I actually liked besides a few things from Ends that I was like come on seriously.
This one i couldnt get into. Maybe it was scary movie 2 that did it but the parody made the actual film laughable.
A real connoisseur of film. Let me guess...your favourite film is "Flubber"
I'd love to hear what you think are good examples of horror movies?
Do the child's play franchise I am a Chucky fanatic he is my all time favorite slasher icon
SEED OF CHUCKY
@@TheLostRiverDriveIn oh YES PLEASE
Case closed Geoff
Freaking Geoff
And to your point on laughing when uncomfortable/ afraid, boxers when hit with a punch that hurts them will often smile or laugh, it’s a known reaction in boxing. So maybe it is defensive mechanism, but I think the ones in the theather I saw it in were just annoying .
Movies are subjective... end of discussion
Did you watch? I specifically addressed comments made about “poor acting” and story as false. Because they are. Movies are subjective, but facts are facts. You can not like something, but don’t make shit up as to why you don’t. End of discussion
Buffoon.
I'm 55 years old I don't really care for the Exorcist it's a fine movie I just don't get all the hype
It’s a pretty disturbing film, and just nothing I can recommend or would want to see again.
@vanderhoff66fu I'd love to hear what you think some examples of good horror movies are?
@@brentsobie3977 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ,Halloween, The Shining, psycho, Friday the 13th Part 2 Nightmare on Elm Street part 2 Alice Sweet Alice X, midsommer, pieces, Cemetery man, opera, zombie, New York ripper, the house by the cemetery, the house on the edge of the park, tenebrae,
@@vanderhoff66fu I can agree with a few of those.... But Alice, X, Cemetery Man?? Really? And Midsommer? That's just a rip off of The Wicker Man. The Shining is the best movie on your list, but truthfully, the majority of people would say the Exorcist is better than literally all of these movies. You're entitled to your opinion though.
@@brentsobie3977 I'm not a huge fan of possession movies I'm about slasher and Gore and over the top kills. Deep red Suspiria I'm very much into bee movies and that's just what I like never saw The Exorcist as that scary and I grew up with it and I'm like nah that's not for me that's not my jam bro I like blood gore and slashers and masked killers
