| MaddWolf Hope | 100 | - For evocative, nerve jangling, demonic horror, you will not find better than The Exorcist. (full review) |
| CinemaVisitor Erik | 100 | |
| Jim Carrier | 99 | - Quite possibly the scariest movie of all-time because of the storyline dealing with demons & how realistic this subject is. |
| Alex Robinson | 99 | |
| David Baruffi | 97 | |
| Colin Flanagan | 97 | - The greatest horror film of all time that still holds up today with atmosphere and creepiness. |
| Andrew Buckle of The Film Emporium | 97 | (full review) |
| Darren of Movie Reviews 101 | 94 | |
| Dan O'Neill | 90 | - The Exorcist still works all of these years later because of the atmosphere that Friedkin creates, the things that actually happens when the scares aren’t happening, and the acting that elevates this flick upon any other horror film that I’ve seen recently. Definitely deserved that Best Picture win, even though ‘The Sting’ is a great film in its own right too. (full review) |
| Mark Chapman | 90 | |
| Sean Kelly | 90 | (full review) |
| Bryan Lienesch | 90 | - In my estimation, the greatest horror flick of all time. |
| Minnesota Man | 90 | - If it’s been a while since you’ve taken it in or if you’ve somehow never seen the film you owe it to yourself to give it a look…just throw away all your cans of pea soup first. (full review) |
