Description
The Exorcist by Mark Kermode is a thought-provoking study of horror classic that delves into its creation and production. Originally published in 1997, this revised edition was updated in 2003 to incorporate new material, including deleted scenes now integrated into the film adaptation. Candid interviews with key figures involved in the project reveal the behind-the-scenes battles that took place during filming, as well as exclusive stills that shed light on the legendary 'subliminal images' allegedly present in the celluloid. This book provides a unique insight into the making of The Exorcist, a film that has retained an extraordinary power to shock and startle audiences for decades. By examining the production history of this iconic horror film, Kermode offers a compelling analysis of its enduring impact on popular culture.
