That was an excellent one.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

This has little connection to the first two Exorcist films although the death of the priest is alluded to and an important plot point. I admit to not remembering any of the characters from the original except for Regan and the demon. This still does a much better job of being faithful to the original film than the second movie did. This was nowhere near as violent as the original, but still quite creepy. I admit to being confused by the tone of this film at first. It played more like a murder mystery most of the time.It definitely gets better when we see the man claiming to be the Gemini Killer. I'd compare it to "The Silence Of The Lambs" but that movie had yet to come out. Maybe this was instead inspired by the novel it was based on? I really like seeing all the religious imagery and religious talk. The length is quite nice, but it does take awhile to really get good. It's still one of the biggest improvements in a sequel if only because "The Exorcist II: The Heretic" was so bad. ***

This second sequel to the horror classic doesn't, for once, obey the law of horror sequels, in that it manages to be BETTER than the first sequel. I'm not sure why a lot of people seem to be down on this movie. Maybe because the plot is a lot different from THE EXORCIST but surely any change - or originality - can only be a good thing? It's certainly one of the most expensive-looking and well-made horror movies of the '90s that I've seen, with every scene having that big-budget and crisply realistic gloss that makes it stand out from the crowd. The photography brings to life the atmosphere of the dark sets well and this is a most technically accomplished, polished-looking film.Although most of the action and incident is packed into the second half, this is nonetheless enthralling stuff, with sterling performances from an experienced cast keeping the viewer watching throughout. It does get confusing at times but the main thrust of the plot is easy to follow right through until the ending. One surprising thing about this film is its subtlety. For once the graphic murders are off screen, but their descriptions are enough to make you wince and make your imagination work overtime. It's definitely a case of less is more with this film, which contains some of the most horrible and sick-sounding murders ever.There's plenty of horror here, from physical jumpy shocks (the celebrated hallway murder, in which a white-sheeted figure emerges suddenly from a closed doorway, is brilliant and could show the producers of WHAT LIES BENEATH something) to pieces of sustained tension and the subtle elements of weirdly flickering lights and whispering voices on the soundtrack. The music is suspenseful, the script intelligent for once and not underestimating the intelligence of the viewer.George C. Scott (looking very old but still more than with it) is well-cast as the investigating policeman Kinderman; he makes his character a very human one who is moved to grief on more than one occasion yet still commands the authority and respect that a police lieutenant should. Ed Flanders is very good also in a sympathetic role as a priest, while Nancy Fish retains an air of mystery about her at all times, making her a character to watch when she's on screen (she turns out to be a red herring in the end, though). Also appearing briefly are Nicol Williamson as an exorcist and Jason Miller, who's soul is now trapped inside the body of another man (Miller puts in a frequently upsetting and startling turn). Best of all is the manic Brad Dourif as the Gemini Killer, who is in touch with the underworld. His ranting villain spends all of his screen-time in a padded cell yet, with his words and expression alone, he gives one of the most chilling performances in a long time.The special effects are pretty good, from the "possessed" make-up to the standout, unexpected shot of an old lady crawling about on a ceiling - certainly one of the most risky effects shots I've seen, but it pays off superbly. Events climax in a mini-exorcism with lots of special effects which don't disappoint. Blessed with a strong leading man, fine supporting turns, plenty of shocks and scares, and oodles of atmosphere, THE EXORCIST III is a worthy successor to the crown in this humble reviewer's opinion.

The Exorcist III is simply one of those underrated gyms that get overlooked because of the abundant amount of sequels pumped out from money grabbing movie makers. So what is the primary reason why the Exorcist III surpassed the second installment by far? It's all because William Peter Blatty wrote and directed a film sequel to his original novel made into a screenplay. The film brought back the hard hitting grotesque dialogue and most importantly the scare factor. Blatty shot the film to tend towards the psychological horror aspects but he added a scare factor that brought tense, jumpy scenes. The film is often accredited to having one of the scariest movie moments that absolutely no one saw coming.Along with the phenomenal writing, direction and filmmaking there were some great characters portrayed with adequate acting. George C. Scott as the main protagonist did a good job and Brad Dourif was a nice touch, however parts of the supporting cast weren't all that great. The cameo list is impressive and very odd, I won't spoil a couple of them but to show how strange some are to the film, an example is Patrick Ewing as The Angel of Death. There are some other curious, questionable aspects about Exorcist III but it stands out to being a formidable entry the possession genre and an excellent crime thriller.
