[QUOTE="Richard Channing, post: 148296, member: 10"] The Exorcist was more ground breaking, scarier and more shocking. Audiences had never seen anything like this before and it's still pretty shocking even by today's standards. And not just the subject matter but also the fact that you've got this young girl saying and doing the most revolting things. I mean, you have to question the judgement of Linda Blair's parents to be happy to have their daughter simulating masturbating with a crucifix and telling people their mother sucks cocks in hell! So, there's a lot to be shocked about. Plus there's the mythos that surrounds the whole production, the deaths that occurred on the set and close to those involved, and the vilification and persecution of Linda Blair after the film's release. So, the film is legendary for a number of reasons. Yet, I think I prefer the premise and tone of the Omen. The mansion, the atmosphere, the strange deaths. If I had to choose one to sit down and watch right now I'd probably opt for The Omen, as I think it's a more enjoyable watch. But if I wanted to be freaked out and grossed out then it would have to be the Exorcist. [/QUOTE]
