The Exorcist..Scary or NOT?

Once again, we are watching movies in an English 4 class and I love it. haha. But this time, we're watching the old classic the Exorcist. The weird thing is, throughout the whole movie, the class was laughing during the scary parts when the girl was being possessed.

What is known to be scary back in the 20th century, isn't scaryo to kids nowadays. I think so because kids are raised with more technology than ever. We have games such as Grand Theft Auto and other games that introduces us to more of a gory world. I was talking to my Foods teacher about this, and she said she was terrified when the Exorcist first came out. She said she was around a sophomore in high-school when she first seen the movie. This had me thinking throughout the whole day. Why wasn't I scared? Because I have seen scarier.  Movies such as Paranormal Activity when it shows live footages of real paranormal activity happening to real people. I also play alot of Modern Warfare which might have helped out alittle bit. I'm basically used to seeing dead people because of this game. In my opinion, I think that kids in the next century are going to be completly okay watching scary movies at a young age. I think this is why the Exorcist really wasn't scary to me and many other teenagers that have watched it recently.
