You should watch it. It is true that the torment goes on and is a huge part of the movie, the main point is the exorcism and driving the demons out. Max Von Sydow is a superb actor and there is a reason this movie is on everybody's short list of among the best in the genre.
The History channel did a show on the actual 1949 case that inspired the book and then the movie, if you could find it maybe you should watch that first to get a more realistic view of what happened in that case and then watch this movie for the horror masterpiece that it is, IMO
