What is the #1 horror movie of all time? <\/h2>\n

The Exorcist is a 1973 American supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, adapted from the 1971 novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max von Sydow, and Lee J. Cobb. It tells the story of Regan MacNeil (Blair), a 12-year-old girl who becomes possessed by a demon and starts to exhibit increasingly disturbing behavior, which causes her mother (Burstyn) to seek the help of two Catholic priests (von Sydow and Cobb) to perform an exorcism. <\/p>\n

The Exorcist was released theatrically in the United States on December 26, 1973, by Warner Bros. Though it was a commercial success, the film was met with mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its depiction of demonic possession and its use of scares and suspense, while others criticized its graphic violence and found it to be too disturbing. The film won two Academy Awards: Best Sound Mixing and Best Adapted Screenplay. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time.<\/p>\n
