XKK AK . W.. - i Xt Y x . ' f 'Nav I 'Mkt is M. 'Q x x G 2 his 'M On the day after Christmas, a film called The Exorcist opened in 22 cities across America. Since then, all hell has broken loose. There were lines outside theaters where crowds waited as long as four hours to buy tickets to a two- hour horror movie. Some people staggered out, vomiting or fainting before the show was over, The Exorcist has captured the popular imagi- nation and brought into frenzied focus the under- ground anxieties, fantasies and fears that have lately broken through the surface of contemporary American society. The Exorcist dramatically ochestrates current interest in the occult, psy- chic phenomena, Satanism and man's more fundamental yearning for some kind of reckoning with his destructive inclinations. The plot of this movie is simple and gruesome. Regan tplayed by Linda Blairl is sweet, 12-year- old girl who is inexplicably afflicted by violent spasms and by mysterious movements of her bed- room furniture. Her mother, an actress who is making a film on the Georgetown campus, takes Regan to brain specialists and then to psychia- trists, but no one can explain or cure her strange afflication. Regan grows more violent. Her tongue furs and flicks like a serpent'sp her face fills with blood, pus and welts. In a harsh husky voice she screams obscenties. She hurls her mother's director to his death from her window and vomits on a priest. Defeated and perplexed, a panel of physicians suggest an exorcism. Father Damien Karras the re- sident Jesuit psychiatrist and a man of faltering faith, refuses to help. But the exorcist, saintly Father Merrin, nearly succeeds in the exorcism be- fore he suddenly dies of a heart attack. Father Karras invites the demon to come into his body so that Regan may live. The demon obliges, and the priest takes the demon with him in a suicidal leap from the window. The dying priest, with his last- breath confesses his suicide and Regan wakes with no memory of what has happened.
