One of the most profitable horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events.

A local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism, and the church sends in an expert (Max von Sydow) to help with the difficult job.
