Exorcist, The

US horror film released in 1973 and directed by US director William Friedkin, based on a novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty. The story tells of a pubescent girl (US actor Linda Blair) who is possessed by the devil which has to be exorcised by a priest (Swedish actor Max von Sydow). The film achieved notoriety partly because it was banned, only appearing on video in the UK in 1999, and partly due to the mythology that grew up around the filming of it, including the alleged deaths of nine crew members.
