Chris McNeil is a famous actress passing by Georgetown, Boston, with her 12-year-old daughter, Regan, to shoot a movie. When Regan starts acting in a temperamental and extremely atypical way, for which no doctor has an explanation, Chris seeks the help of Father Damien Karras, educated in psychiatry and tormented by his own demons. Willing to challenge the boundaries of his faith for Regan’s soul, Damien asks the Vatican for authorization to perform his first exorcism. Based on the homonymous novel by its screenwriter, William Peter Blatty, published in 1971 and inspired by true events, “The Exorcist” is known as one of the most terrifying and memorable horror films ever made. In 1974, it won Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards, and was nominated for eight other categories, including Best Picture.
