The Exorcist - The Complete Anthology (1977)

Here it is. The scream of the crop. The fear is here. And so is the hope. Because at their center are intrepid souls who dare to look evil in the eye and vanquish it. From The Exorcist (presented in its Original Theatrical Version and the 2000 Version You've Never Seen) to the shocks and surprise of Exorcist II: The Heretic and The Exorcist III to the two versions (by two different directors) of Dominion/The Beginning, this DVD set comprises the scariest and most fascinating collection of movies in modern horror.

Great movies!

The exorcist is the best movie I've ever seen. It's a master piece.
I know that it doesn't have the effects of the modernism of Hollywood, but just the necessary effects are present in this terror movie that can move the nerves of everyone.
This pack, includes all the sequels of the original (1973), which personally I consider is the best.
It's necessary to have critic sense to enjoy this movie as it is, otherwise you will feel like a nightmare during the night, as soon as you get asleep.
This movies are not for everyone, but if you like terror, this is the movie for you.

I wanted it in spanish too, but even it says so here in the website, it doesn't include spanish as audio language.
My wife and me are native spanish speakers and she doesn't know about english, so I've to get it in spanish in a local store too.

The Ultimate Collection Finally !! 5 STARS!!

Well, here it finally is- The Ultimate Collection! I give this collection 5 stars!! Here's what you get on this 6 disc set (actually since the 25th Ann. Special Edition is a double sided disc, you are getting 7 sides):

First Case: (2 dvd case)

Disc One: The Beginning (2004)

Disc Two: Dominion: The Prequel (2004)

Both versions hardly differ much- I prefer The Beginning.
Dominion was made after they decided The Beginning wasn't good
enough, yet Dominion looks like a bunch of outtakes compiled to
make a movie. Interesting though that they used the same lead
actor to do both movies- I wish they would have done 2 versions
of the movie Mountains Of The Moon, it needed another viewpoint.

Second Case: (2 dvd case)

Disc One: The Exorcist (The 25th Anniversary Special Edition) (1998)
(It has the classic movie on side A and all the bonus features on
side B of the disc. The original 25th Ann. Edition was a 2-disc
case and everything on it is on this single 2-sided disc).

Disc Two: The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (2000)

Third Case: (single disc)

Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

Fourth Case: (single case)

Exorcist III: Legion (1990)

BUT to make your collection a real Ultimate Edition you should add
the following:

1. ABBY (1974)- This is the african-american cast version of the
Exorcist, now available as a collector's edition on dvd. Part of
the infamous blaxpotation era, it tries not to copy the original
Exorcist released a year prior, but the storyline ends up the same.
However, it does have a great finale- there's a hilarious showdown
between the preacher and the devil in a discoteque of all places!!

2. REPOSSESSED (1990)- While Exorcist III was being made, Linda Blair
and Leslie Neilson was making this spoof. Very funny in parts, but
unless you are a fan of Leslie Nielson's silly movies, you probably
won't like it. Hard to find on dvd but does show up occasionally
on E*bay.

There have been lots of comedy shows that have done spoofs of the Exorcist, most people remember Richard Pryor on SNL around 1976 or 1977,
but my 2 favorites are these:

French & Saunders: "Gentlemen Prefer French & Saunders" dvd
A 3-part comedy sketch with Dawn French (Vicar Of Dibley) and Jennifer
Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous).

And of course the intro to Scary Movie II, with James Woods. Too bad it ended so soon. June 4, 2008

the best

I first saw this movie when I was just 8 years I begged my mother to let me watch it,It still is the most disturbing I have ever seen to date,most of the flicks today are boring compared to this, Linda Blair had to endure hours of cold in a meat freezer while filming the bedroom scenes.This box set rules!!!
