Jeese Louise!
How may times do we have to go over this worn-to-the-bone territory? Every couple of months someone has to slam the impact of The Exorcist, looking at it from a 21st Century perspective.
Of course, it isn't going to frighten modern audiences that grew up on the most graphic and vile horror films of the last fifty years.
Hubris is a wonderful thing, especially if you weren't in the audience in 1973 when the movie was new and an unknown. I was, and I can tell you it scared the hell out of people, young and old.
