A MUST FOR "THE EXORCIST" FANS!
3 out of 5 stars.
A&E is well noted for their good work and this documentary is no exception. The film explores exorcisms and possession rituals from different cultures worldwide. And as briefly touched upon as they are, the segments are very interesting to watch. The selling point of the video, though, is the real-life bases for the film "The Exorcist." With interviews with the actual priests who performed the infamous 1949 exorcism that inspired the book. What would have made the video far more interesting, would have been extended scientific investigation as to what are the possibilities of explanation regarding specific "possession" sympyoms. William Peter Blatty wrote the book and the screenplay for the 1973 film. The book was excellent in providing scientific explanations to conflict with religious beliefs. The book gave good arguements on both sides and left it open for the reader to decide: "was it or wasn't it possession?" The 1973 film, even though written by the same person, strangely enough, sought to convince the audience in believing it was possession.
