"Scariest horror film of all time" I get scared extremely easily!! Things like Harry Potter scare me. Things like my friends creeping up behind me scare me. Random noises in the night scare me. The Exorcist did not scare me!! I had heard things about the exorcist being scary etc. so I wanted to watch it and was prepared to turn it off after 20 minutes from being scared. But I spent the whole two hours WAITING for it to get scary!! The people who say the only reason I didn't find it scary was because I didn't understand it. Well yes I did understand it but even if I didn't it should still have been scary. I have watched films which I did not understand but still scared me. If it had really been the "scariest film of all time" then understanding it should not have been essential for me to be scared. Biggest waste of two hours!! Katie

Hi. I think that the film/ TV series was great if you hadn't read the books. I know they were different to the books and I was also disappointed at the way they were portrayed, although if you hadn't read the books you wouldn't know this and it wouldn't be a problem. The books were better than the film and I agree that the actors looked too old although they were only supposed to be 13. The actress who played Ellie was 17 at the time. Also (and this is a problem with not only the film but also the books) some of the things what happened where not appropriate for the age that the characters where supposed to be. I would just also like to add that I was in this film :-) It was only a small role; however I played the part of the 10year old Ellie. Katie Howseman
