The Exorcist
This is the scariest film I have ever seen in my life. It is shot in such a realistic way that you feel you are present with the characters in the film!
The film is based in Georgetown, USA. There is nothing in house that makes you feel there is a supernatural element lurking around. It becomes all the more scary because it can happen to anyone, anywhere. There is no explanation, as this young girl gets possessed all of a sudden.
I saw this film in my engineering days [RGV took up civil engineering at the V R Siddhartha Engineering College in Vijayawada]. I went to watch the film from my hometown, Narsapuram, Andhra Pradesh, to another town called Rajumndhry, 150 km away.
I was so scared after seeing Exorcist that I had to see three more films to get my fear out. But even then, those images of Exorcist lingered in my mind. That was the kind of impact the film had on me!
