Should I watch the Exorcist alone?

Question

I'm 16. I rented the movie because I heard it was scary. I want to watch alone for a good scare. Do you think it would be too scary? haha

Answer 1

Nah, it's not that bad.

I avoided watching this movie for a really long time because ppl always told me stuff like "I couldn't sleep for weeks...that movie scared the c**p out of me...etc."

But on Friday the 13th I watched it, by MYSELF at my mom's work (which is a nursing home but in the room it looked like a hospital room) and it was around midnight....my mom's coworkers' were like "You're nuts child." It was horror movie marathon on TNT I think lol.

It wasn't too bad...just don't let it get to you too much.  

Answer 2

no....watch it alone.

You realize that it is just a movie?

Answer 3

The Exorcist is a different kind of scary.  You might be in for a disappointment if you're hoping for monsters jumping out and gore.  This movie is about the helplessness of a child possessed by a demon.  In truth, I first saw it when I was younger then you, and I thought it was lame.  I saw it again many years later and had more appreciation for the emotional roller-coaster that it was.  You could probably watch it alone, but it's really a movie that requires someone to snuggle with.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well back when I was 13-ish and watched it it freaked me the **** out, no nightmares just some good ol' fasion spine tingling fright. Somebody mentioned how with todays movies like SAW and Hostel it might not pack the same punch but still there are some moments that still freak me out even after seeing those other movies and being an adult.

Watch it, it'll freak you out a good amount hopefully also its a d**n good movie. One of the best horror movies around. Oh and for another real fright with gore WAY before gore was cool go rent Last House on the Left.  

Answer 6

Yes. you should...

Answer 7

Nah. Even though this film raised the bar for what could be seen and heard in the horror genre, by today's standards,it might be considered fairly tame,but trust me, this one is worth watching

Answer 8

probably not.

it was freaky for its time, but now, a lot of the effects look kinda cheezy.

but it does get in your head, if you know what I mean.

I watched the remasterd version alone, late at night, didn't really scare me.  

Answer 9

Go ahead me and my cousins were watching it together and it was my first time but we shut it off cuz it was boring as h**l. Idk how high ur tolerance for scary things is but back in the day it caused a scare not cuz of the content of the film but because the idea of being possessed scared the c**p out of people. Lol did u know after its release in the theater people rushed to the churches to get forgiven XD I'm religious but that movie was taken to seriously
