the actress playing the demon while good didn't sound demonic. I blame audible for this since they don't separate them into categories. these negative reviewers don't seem to understand the difference between an audio book and an audio drama. they also complain about the lack of a narrator describing everything. if you pay attention it's really easy to understand what's going on. the negative reviews complain about how it's hard to follow. I personally didn't find it scary at all but I didn't think the Exorcist movie was scary either. it was creepy and interesting to listen to a horror based audio drama like this. this isnt perfect but it's a well made dramatization.

This new, full-cast radio drama is just as chilling, suspenseful and shocking while also retaining the depth and psychological complexity of Blatty’s original novel.Īdapted by Sony Award-winning dramatist Robert Forrest, it stars Robert Glenister as Karras, Alexandra Mathie as the Demon and Ian McDiarmid as Merrin. The film version of The Exorcist is widely considered to be one of the most terrifying movies ever made. With his faith in God and humanity tested to the limit, Karras turns to the ultimate solution: exorcism. Its many voices mock him, tormenting him with his weakness, doubts and buried guilt. The victim - a 12-year-old girl named Regan - seems to be controlled by a malignant supernatural force that makes her swear, blaspheme, scream in agony and perform appalling acts.Īttempting to find a rational explanation for the girl’s behaviour, Karras tries to talk to Regan only to find himself locking horns with the demon inside her head.

Summoned to a case of apparent possession, Father Karras is at first sceptical then horrified.

Robert Glenister and Ian McDiarmid star in a gripping BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of William Peter Blatty’s classic horror novel.
