The Exorcist: Director's Cut at Revival House Perth
Experience William Friedkin's terrifying 2000 Director's Cut of the 1973 horror masterpiece that redefined fear itself. When 12-year-old Regan MacNeil begins exhibiting disturbing behavior and supernatural abilities, her desperate mother turns to two priests who must confront an ancient evil that threatens not just one innocent child, but the very foundations of faith itself.
Ellen Burstyn delivers a powerhouse performance as Chris MacNeil, a mother watching helplessly as her daughter transforms into something unrecognizable. Linda Blair creates one of cinema's most haunting performances as Regan, while Jason Miller and Max von Sydow bring profound gravity to the priests who must battle for her soul.
Friedkin's unflinching direction creates an atmosphere of creeping dread that builds to genuine terror through masterful practical effects and sound design. This Director's Cut restores 11 minutes of footage including the infamous "spider walk" scene, deepening the film's exploration of faith, doubt, and the battle between good and evil.
Based on William Peter Blatty's novel, the film transcends typical horror through its serious examination of faith in the face of inexplicable evil. The stunning cinematography and haunting score create an experience that's both deeply disturbing and spiritually profound.
