The Third film in the Exorcist series and in my opinion the best of the bunch. If you expect to see another version of Exorcist I or a continuation of the god awful Exorcist II then you will be surprised but definitely NOT disappointed. Quite simply this is one of THE best Horror/Supernatural thrillers ever conceived. I know, high praise indeed, but well worthy of it. Written and directed by William Blatty the film is stylish, well paced and strings together plots from the first 2 films. The story is that of revenge by the entity/entities which were exorcised from Regan and Damien in the first film. A murderous rampage against friends and associations of Damien are subsequently investigated by an excellent performance by George C. Scott (Patton) who plays Lt Kinderman (played by Lee Cobb in the first film). Brad Dourif is simply superb as the 'Gemini' serial killer also possessing the body of Damien (Peter Miller). His psychotic raving and outbursts in the one on one cell scenes with Scott are mind blowing. This film is not for everyone, especially if you are expecting another version of The Exorcist I. It is a very intelligent film with an excellent script & dialogue combined with a pretty good plot supported by top notch performances. Watch and enjoy.
