It's as if this movie was precisely designed according to my personal taste.

As a horror fan, for years I've been trying to give this film all the chances it deserves; but to no avail. I can't bring myself to like it. Something is VERY wrong with this film. It fails miserably as a horror movie. Which is a shame becasue William Friedkin is more than a competent director.

Well, this was some weirdo shit...

I've never seen a remake whose creators so blatantly express their hatred towards the original. You call this an homage? You took out all the elements that made the original the classic it is, and made a 2/30 hours worth of snoozefest. WHAT THE FUCK?!

The problem with this film is, it takes itself too seriously, and it's not even all that scary. What makes this film stand out among other '70s "satanic" pieces of garbage (e.g. The Omen) is the rich characterization (especially Father Karras), great performances and fantastic cinematography: This is a movie that looks beautiful, but the story? It easily falls flat.
