b"The Exorcist is known for being absolutely terrifying, but film critic Mark Kermode argues that it\\u2019s also a masterpiece. He was too young to see the movie when it was released and had to wait six years before he could watch it in a theater. Decades later, he has made documentaries about The Exorcist, written long essays and a book about it, and even became friends with the movie's director and screenwriter. But he says every time he watches the movie, he\\u2019s still taken back to the experience of transcendence and magic he experienced when he watched the movie for the first time."
