I must say that both are great in their own way.I saw the movie first and it made a great impression in my life as it did to many out there.I saw the movie when i was like 12 or 13 years old so reading the book was like the furthest thing that i wanted to do.I had enough scare by just watching the film. Not till about a month ago i read the book by accident.I went in to a thrift book store to look for a book to read and BAM!!! There it was, THE EXORCIST ,I felt a tingle on the back of my neck as i recalled the night mares the movie had brought me as a child. Remembering the peircing yellow eyes as Regan feels or sees FR. Merrin stepping out of the cab and walking toward the house and stopping to look up towars the second floor window.That bright shinning light beaming down on him as like he was the center of attention at that very moment.Man, that just brings momories of fear and not to mention sleppless nights.
So,having read the book i must say that it was like seeing the movie again but with extra footage. So my take is that both are great .

I hope for the sake of all the fans of this wickedly scary movie that Hollywood does not make the mistake of trying to capture lighting in a bottle. I, for one think that the movie works because there wasn’t all this CGI crap that goes on in movies now a days.I point out the attempt that Hollywood has done to remake horror movies like Halloween and at the end of the day they failed to capture the essence of the original movie. I know that Hollywood could care less of my feelings since movie making is all about the all mighty dollar.So as a fan of this classic horror film i cringe on the idea that Hollywood could even think on a remake. Sorry guys, just throwing in my 2 cents.
