‘The Exorcist’ (1973). Fine movie. Not scary.

March 31, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

It’s a Western. In a house.

(What Rio Bravo tried and failed to do in a jail.)

If the chick in The Searchers had barfed a lot, basically.

The girl isn’t young enough for The Exorcist to work. The Wizard of Oz gets away with it, but in this instance, you need a Shirley Temple (also the first choice to play “Dorothy”…) not a Linda Blair.
