The Exorcist
The Exorcist is a seminal work of horror, widely considered one of the greatest horror films ever made. So, how has Hollywood failed to remake this one?
Rumors have swirled about committing an atrocity against cinema and trying to redo William Friedkin’s brilliantly humorless horror movie about demon possession and strained Catholicism, but as yet no one has truly dedicated themselves to the attempt. They’ve already remade The Omen and Psycho almost shot-for-shot, so The Exorcist remake would hardly be surprising.
A little girl possessed by Satan (or perhaps one of his lesser demons), a young priest experiencing a crisis of faith, and an old one who makes Catholicism look totally badass? Seriously, Hollywood, you need to get onto this one again.
