excellent
Great!
Very interesting and in depth story about this movie. I must say though William Friedkin loves the sound of his voice. He is very proud of his work and has no problem letting you know. He did fail to talk about the injuries that Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair sustained while filming this movie.
Good insight on what little things were added to the film just to give the audience more of that eerie feeling
loved it
