William Friedkin's The Exorcistexplained in full can be a tricky topic. The franchise is known for its deep symbolism, and the use of supernatural beings often leaves room for allegory relating to the human condition through the capacity for fear. The Exorcist follows Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair), a young girl who encounters a powerful malevolent demon that takes control of her body. Regan's mother, Chris (Ellen Burstyn), fearing for her daughter and left in despair by a string of baffled doctors, turns to the church for help.
