Father Damien Karras: 'Where is Regan' Regan MacNeil: 'In here. with us'. The terror begins unobtrusively. Noises in Regan's room, an odd smell, the displacement of furniture, an icy chill. Easy explanations are offered. Then frightening changes start in the eleven-year-old girl. Medical tests shed no light on her symptoms, but it is as if a different personality has invaded the child.

3.5 Slow at first, but very tense by the end.
