here's another guy that liked the Exorcist:
"Movie: The Exorcist Beginning
Time: 9:50pm
Theater: 300 seater, 85% full
Crowd reaction: Good, I think the crowd mostly liked the film. Lots of jumps during the scary parts followed by nervous laughs. Comments on the way out ranged from "stupidest movie I've ever seen" to "scared the hell out of me" and "just plain weird shit."
My take: Well, I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie. Honestly, The Exorcist Beginning was one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Aside from a few cheap thrills, I hated ever second. It wasn't thrilling, it wasn't scary, it wasn't deep or filled with any religious meaning - no, it was just plain poor. Every poorly acted and delivered line, every fumbled camera shot, the poor direction, the downright stupid and predictable plot twists - the movie was horrible. Easily the worst film of the year so far. Even as a camp film that's bad for the sake of being bad, Exorcist Beginning fails miserably. The violence and gore wasn't enjoyable like in Freddy vs Jason or disturbing like in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - it was just plain disgusting. I didn't come to a horror film to see children ripped apart by wild dogs and shot at point blank with their blood pooring out on the ground. I've never been disgusted and angry about violence in a film, but The Exorcist Beginning went way too far with what it showed. One sick -=-=- made this movie, and I'm glad I bought a ticket to Open Water and snuck in so the makers of this trash didn't get any of my money. Overall, 0/10.
"
not a whole lot of crowd reports tonight, seems as though nothing is doing that great. It also seems as thought the Exorcist is going to out-gross Open Water.
