This was actually excellent. Wasn’t planning on watching this today but I started it and couldn’t stop watching!!! Really interesting this is. Especially if you’re passionate about what it took to make this movie and a huge film buff like me! I found his opinion fascinating as well as his opinion on things. His faith. I’ve never seen this on YouTube or anywhere before like I’d of done over the years. Just really excellent! 👌❤️
Excellent doc about an excellent film. Super!
Most watched documentary about the Scariest Movie of all Time.
What a documentary. What an incredible artist William Friedkin was. It was the most frightening film I have ever seen,but this Doco was one of the most beautiful I have seen. The ending was earth shattering and left me in tears. A truth I have always known. Magnificent
Fantastic look behind the scenes of one of the best films ever made.
