TCM or The Exorcist: Which was more shocking?

I geuss that adds to the realism of the Exorcist, no one had impunity, not even a inocent 12 year-old girl. The TCM was great in its time but no one will be able to duplicate the Exorcist cause no one could be original in it. But the TCM can be done in so many different ways.

Now that, my friend, is shocking.

Shocking at the time, not anymore.

Exscorsist was everything evil should be and is. It was all about playing with the emotions and minds of others, making mothers feel powerless to an Unholy power that took control of a little girl's body and soul. And how preist's pray endlessly and thier faith begins to diminish, but ultimately they win. For now.. 😈

TCM was just another blood and gore fest, what is so disturbing about that? Unless you're one of those northern yuppies who thinks Michal Moore is the modern day Jesus Christ, that's the only way I could immagine this movie being classiefied as even a horror. Otherwise it's just an action movie with poor plot..

And shocking? What's so shocking about TCM? Wait, let me immagine the yuppy mindset for a moment.. *Hmms and rolls eyes in back of head*

"Is that a rebel flag?! Ohnoes!
What do you MEAN you don't sell tofu salad?!
Those children are picking on a little boy.. Wait, that's normal.. no wait, and he's black!"

did they win though?

no one can really tell cause they demon is forced out he just comes back in someone else and alot people end of dying along the way so it basicly a tie. Sorted like the War of 1812 ya know? We say we won they say they won,

well the demon says to karras that the exorcism would bring them closer together. it thought that was creepy and it seems the demon knows what will happen..thats why im not so sure about the so called happy ending

the demon did no good in that movie..it was pure evil

Pazuzu didn't win because Karras drove it from Regan's soul. Karras sacrificed himself to save Regan from possession. The ultimate goal of the demon was to bring despair and woe to those who encounterd it. Just because Father Karras died it doesn't mean Pazuzu won. It lost.

it did bring despair and woe, and it hink that the family would be scarred for life

Which is why he's one of my more favorite demons! \m/ 😈 \m/

Him and the female demon Fraw Selga anyway. Who has the power to let you gaze into the fires of Hell to scry and find out who will die and when within the next year..

is the new exorcist any good? not the beginning.the other one..cant remember its name

Have you guys ever seen the Exorcist III :Legion? It might make alittle more sense because it makes so that Karras is possesed just as his soul leaves his body. Its actually kinda intresting.

i rlly wanna see it, ive heard its the true sequel cos the 2nd one sucked

Huh? Are you talking about the "banned" version of the prequel?

the third film

Ahh. I haven't seen part 3 since i was 15. Not a bad film though. Part 2 sucked.

I agree the second Exorcist shouldn't have been made, III would have made a much better sequel. I liked it because it definately played off of what Pazuzu said about "bring us together". It makes you think, maybe Karras was the original target and Regan was just a detour. Karras would have made a better possesion ya know? Preist with failing faith becomes a murder or something? That would have been better. But what I mosted liked about III was that it was a dead killer instead of another demon no one has really heard of.
