About this Event
William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel remains one of the most terrifying and technically astonishing horror films ever made. When 12-year-old Regan MacNeil begins behaving in ways that no doctor can explain, her mother turns in desperation to two Jesuit priests — one a psychiatrist losing his faith, the other an aging veteran of a rite he has never forgotten. Fifty years on, its craft, restraint, and dread have not been surpassed. A rare theatrical presentation on 16mm.
Bonus!
Did you spot the SAM stamp? As a special added bonus, before this film, we’ll be screening the new 30th Anniversary 4K restoration of SEASON’S GREETINGS (1996), the creepy cartoon short from Michael Doherty, director of TRICK R’ TREAT (2007), featuring the first appearance of that film’s “Sam” character.
Many thanks to Michael and Minor Demons, Inc for allowing us this opportunity to provide you with this bite-sized fright.
