The Exorcist III
Directed by William Peter Blatty
A cop (George C. Scott) investigates brutal murders similar to ones committed by a long-dead serial killer. But the decapitations and crucifixions couldn’t be the work of the “Gemini Killer” - or could they? After his priest is butchered in a hospital, Lt. Kinderman traces the clues to the psych ward, where a patient claims to be Damian Karras (Jason Miller), the priest who died during the final moments in THE EXORCIST. William Peter Blatty’s complex adaptation of his sequel novel, “Legion”, contains a hallway scare scene that belongs in the horror history books.

Damn, this was good. Slow burning, excellently directed by Blatty. A great performance from George C. Scott; and equally good, if smaller appearances from Jason Miller and Brad Dourif. Sound, cinematography, and screenwriting all on point. A must watch, and an excellent, if more subdued follow up to the original.
I can't understand the great reviews. This movie was total trash and I don't have crazy high standards either. It is probably one of the worst films i have ever seen. I wouldn't trust any of you to look after a goldfish for 5min.
This was so awful and the acting was over-the-top bad. This was probably the worst movie I have seen in a long time.
This is a great movie. I had very low expectations for the second sequel to a classic but I thuroughly enjoyed this. I especially appreciated that the first truly supernatural scene wasn't until halfway through the movie and none of it felt overdone.
Goddamn, this was legitimately amazing and I genuinely don't know how Brad Dourif didn't get an Oscar nom for this. All the actors are amazing, direction is outstanding and it is genuinely unnerving. It feels a lot like a thriller till the last 1/3 and then it really veers into horror territory. While it does deliver on some kills, a lot of its unsettling nature is from the stuff not shown on screen which is normally not something that gets me. Absolutely do yourself a favour and watch this, you will not be disappointed.
