In 1973, Friedkin blew the socks off theatergoers everywhere when he helmed the adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel of the same name. The Exorcist stars Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream) as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has just started a new job in Washington, D.C. When her daughter, Regan (Linda Blair), begins to display odd and mystifying behaviors, Chris at first believes something is medically wrong with the young girl.
However, doctors are unable to find anything medical going on with Regan, yet her behavior gets worse and worse, with all signs pointing to possession. Seeking out the help of two priests in the Catholic church, Chris does everything she can for her child, whose demonic possession takes the center of the story of The Exorcist. With one of the priests suffering from a crisis of faith, the power of Satan pushes to undermine the holy men at every turn and claim the little girl for good.
