The Exorcist | Modern Trailer | HBO Max

Defrocked priest fled to Italy with teen he had been ‘grooming’: copsfilmgoers will once again witness young, possessed girls blaspheming, levitating and shrieking as their parents try to wrest a godless demon from their bodies.

The paper also reported that “soon after ‘The Exorcist’ opened, an usher at the theater fell under a subway train and lost an arm. Then the mother of a cashier died.” Friedkin, who died in August at age 87, said his first brush with “bad karma” during production came when the statue of Pazuzu — the film’s evil spirit — didn’t arrive in Mosul, Iraq, as planned. The prop, which was built in and shipped from Burbank, Calif., mysteriously wound up in faraway Denmark instead.A more treacherous delay happened later at 20th Century Fox on West 54th Street in Manhattan, where a fiery blaze enveloped the MacNeil house set in the early hours of the morning.

Burstyn, who was 40 during the shoot, recalls being pushed to the brink filming the punishing sequence over and over again. Burstyn injured her back during a trying stunt during the exorcism scene, and has said she’s never fully recoverd.After three tries, Burstyn finally said to the director, “Billy, he’s pulling too hard, ask him to lighten up.”She was right. On the fourth take, the actress landed so hard on her coccyx she yelped in excruciating pain.

MacGowran played Burke Dennings, the film director who is killed by Regan. He died of influenza at age 54 during the London flu epidemic.

Movie Review: 'The Exorcist: Believer' doesn't desecrate the original but it won't compel youMovie Review: 'The Exorcist: Believer' doesn't desecrate the original but it won't compel youThere may be no holier ground in horror than “The Exorcist.” As endlessly as William Friedkin’s 1973 film has been ripped off and resurrected, its power remains unalloyed. Now, just two months after the death of Friedkin and a few months shy of the original’s 50th anniversary, comes a sequel from director David Gordon Green. The film’s main additions are that, this time, there are two possessed girls and the Catholic Church is no longer the primary demon battler. This is a multidenominational “Exorcist,” yet also a less profoundly spiritual one, writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review.
