THE EXORCIST

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of this horror masterpiece, and to pay tribute to director William Friedkin, who died recently, Pat’s Film Club is proud to feature THE EXORCIST in it’s extended Director’s Cut (billed as “The Version You’ve Never Seen” when it was released).

One of the most infamous horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events. When young Regan (Linda Blair) starts acting odd — levitating, speaking in tongues — her worried mother (Ellen Burstyn) seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism, and the church sends in an expert (Max von Sydow) to help.
