A shattering film, It was remade by William Friedkin as Sorcerer in 1977, the film he made after the Exorcist. Sorcerer is actually a good film and probablt one of Friedkin's best films, but it isn't as good as the original. It maybe one of the most intense films people will find, shot in Black & white...
The criteion disc is faultless as usual...
