film by William Friedkin

This article is about the film. For other uses, see The Exorcist (disambiguation).

The Exorcist is a American supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin from a screenplay by William Peter Blatty, based on his novel.

The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair, and follows the demonic possession of a young girl and the attempt to rescue her through an exorcism by two Catholic priests.

Blatty, who also produced, and Friedkin, his choice as director, had difficulty casting the film.

Their choice of relative unknowns Burstyn, Blair, and Miller, instead of major stars, drew opposition from executives at Warner pal photography was also difficult.

Many cast and crew were injured, some died, and unusual accidents delayed shooting. Production took twice as long as scheduled and cost almost three times the initial budget; the many mishaps have led to a belief that the film was cursed.
