The Extended Director's Cut is the theatrically re-released (Autumn of 2000) version that offers eleven minutes of additional footage, including the scary and much talked-about "spider walk." A tale of possession that shocked millions, "The Exorcist" won Academy Awards® for Best Adapted Screenplay and Sound. Regan (Blair), a 12-year-old girl, is either suffering from a severe neurological disorder or, worse, has been possessed by an evil spirit. Chris (Burstyn), her desperate mother, knows there is something deeper—more terrible—than what doctors and psychiatrists believe and seeks help from the doubtful, intelligent Father Karras (Miller) and the dedicated Jesuit exorcist, Father Merrin (von Sydow). (Laurie Sevano)
