🕯️ #OTD in #Film #History 14 March 1974, #WilliamFriedkin's THE EXORCIST, adapted from the book by #WilliamPeterBlatty, starring #LindaBlair, #EllenBurstyn, and #MaxVonSydow, had its London Premiere.

Team this up with #WilliamFriedkin's #Bug and you'd have a fine double bill.

Hugely pleased with @vinsyn.bsky.social's excellent 4k release of #WilliamFriedkin's JADE (1995). Saw this at the cinema on 1st release + imported the US VHS release of the DC. I can ditch that tape now as VinSyn's great release contains sparkling presentations of both the TC and DC.

Hey everybody! This week, we are discussing #WilliamFriedkin’s adaptation of #WagesOfFear, #Sorcerer (1977). Listen as we breakdown this incredibly tense and entertaining look into what it is to be truly desperate for a new life. Enjoy on all platforms!

A group of men look fear in the eye and continue doing their jobs in #WilliamFriedkin’s relentless and tension heavy SORCERER. @criterion.bsky.social consideringstories.wordpress.com/2026/07/31/s...

A birthday party careens off the rails with a heterosexual dude arrives, forcing a group of gay men to analyze their feelings for themselves and one another in #WilliamFriedkin’s #TheBoysInTheBand. @cine-matographe.bsky.social consideringstories.wordpress.com/2026/07/29/b...

Another necessary comment must be made about cars in #WilliamFriedkin’s movie #Jade. The hero engages in a car chase (often sailing through the air), where on multiple occasions - he would not have caught up to the killer. But on those occasions, he CATCHES UP TO THE KILLER’S CAR. Oh well. Ⓐ

I still say #WilliamFriedkin’s #Bug is the best movie about sliding into insanity that I’ve ever seen - as far as giving the viewer AN IDEA of what it’s like to be a schizophrenic experiencing psychosis. #LetsScareJessicaToDeath does the same thing, though the two films are very different. Ⓐ
