The violent, unsettling, and divisive nature of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist is precisely what makes it such an intriguing chapter in cinema history and popular culture. The 1973 movie, which was based on the same-named book, was controversial, received positive reviews, and over time developed a cult following of followers.
