allanwaters-86617 The preamble to this review, has to be, that this movie, is my favourite psychological horror of the last 30 years. If you are going into to watch this movie with expectations of gore dripping grotesquely from the screen, then don't expect a lurid bloodbath. This celluloid masterpiece, hits you deep with the cerebral grey matter. The acoustic's are scything and scathing, the acting is visceral and precise, the atmosphere and tension is palpably tangible. I could go and on and on into infinitum with superaltives... ... But I don't want to spoil this orgy of the senses for potential first timers taking in this psychologically, horrifying spectacle. The director clearly had a vision to deliver onto the screen, and this was executed with gusto and aplomb. The scenes are set with immaculate precision, guiding us gently through each frame, shepparding us until the director sends us spiralling headlong out of control, bathing our brains in tension and revulsion. The screenplay is simply superb. Along with the acoustics and direction, the narrative fiercely fuels our inner fears. Some of the psychiatric ward scenes are delivered in odious and undulating spades of nightmarish debauchery. I wanted to give a magisterial mention to the nurse station scene. All of the above, is constellated into a cocktail of suspenseful, petrifying horror. If you aren't flung out of your skin into the stratosphere by the climax of this scene, give yourself a hearty pat on the back! The only exiguous quibbles with this movie and the reason it hasn't scored a resounding 10/10, is the films duration(a tad short) , and a certain actor being struck from the proceedings all to abruptly. In surmation, watch this malevolent scare fest of gut wrenching terror . It's woven together into a beguiling, mesmerising tapestry of masterful movie making.

gavin6942 A police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the hallmarks of the deceased 'Gemini' serial killer, lead him to question the patients of a psychiatric ward.Although I actually enjoyed the second "Exorcist" film, most people consider it a stinker and like to pretend it never happened. For those people, this is the right film to watch. A great tale of possession, that follows rather directly (though belatedly) from the original.George C. Scott adds a certain weight to any film. Just as he did for "The Changeling", he makes what could be a forgettable horror film into something really worthwhile. He is a vastly underrated actor.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Ignoring what an abomination Exorcist II was, Wm. Peter Blatty returned to his long dormant sequel to The Exorcist, with this well cast thriller, concerning a cop investigating a series of brutal killings whose Modus Operandi is that of a serial killer executed 17 years earlier. He learns of a catatonic asylum inmate who claims to be the real killer, and who bears an uncanny resemblance to the long thought deceased Father Damian Karras.Blatty, forced by the studio to cast Jason Miller from the original film, does a great job of integrating his character into the story, in almost a Jekyll and Hyde/ split personality situation. The literary screenplay, while occasionally verbose, is very well written, giving the audience plenty of psychological stimuli, mixing detective story, thriller, and horror genres, along with some quite witty banter to relieve the tension, and give the audience a chance to catch their breath.This is a good horror, without being as intentionally gruesome as the first film. Subtle, intellectual horror, venturing deep into the corridors of this Jekyll/ Hyde villain's twisted mind, and ultimately giving closure to the first film's story, yet it still gives us a few shocks, with the killer jumping up being the nurse, with shears in hand, the white sheet covering him brightly lit, with a quick musical crescendo, which echoes for several seconds being my favourite scene in the film. I think this is my favourite in this trilogy, although I am reducing its score a bit due to the studio interference, which occasionally results in some choppy editing. Curiously though, the climactic exorcism (which was also forced on Blatty by the studio) really does seem out of place. Blatty should have been allowed to keep his original low key ending.

jacobjohntaylor1 Don't get me wrong the first two Exorcist movie are very scary. But The Exorcist III is scarier. This movie has great acting. This movie also has great special effects. This movie also has a great story line. IF you like really scary movies then you need to see this movie. See all The Exorcist movies. They are some of the best horror movie ever. I all The Exorcist movies are most sees. This movie is a classic. See this movie. I need more lines and I am running of thing to say. In this one has one of the actor from the original Exorcist. Jason Miller is in this one. Exorcist the beginning is better. Dominion a prequel to The Exorcist is also better. But still this is a very good movie. All the Exorcist movies are great.
