Prague International Film Festival Febiofest will screen horror classic The Exorcist in its Director’s Cut version, never before seen in Czech cinemas.
The iconic 1973 film, dubbed by many as the scariest film ever made, will screen as a part of the festival’s Classics section on March 24.
From critically acclaimed director William Friedkin and based on the popular novel by William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist sees mother and actress Chris MacNeill (Ellen Burstyn) call in two priests when her teenage daughter Regan (Linda Blair) becomes possessed by a demonic spirit.
