The Horror! The Horror!: The Exorcist (1973) and Session 9 (2001)


Guided by Scott Weinberg's list of 120 Horror Films now on Netflix Watch Instantly, I decided to hunker down on a rainy, October, Los Angeles day and watch two of them:  William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973) and Brad Anderson's Session 9 (2001), one of Weinberg's favorites.  While I have documented my favorites over at Pajiba (and before that in the pages of the UWM Post), my tastes have changed and evolved.  When I last watched it, ten years ago, I wasn't a huge fan of The Exorcist.  See if my tastes towards a purported classic changed after the jump.
