If you can read the book before seeing the film you'll definitely get a more satisfying viewing experience. It is a shame the author and director William Peter Blatty was forced by the studio to insert a crappy special effects filled finale against his wishes and change his original title of Leigon. Not a big deal you might think, but the whole tone of the film is changed and not for the better (the original footage now thought to be lost forever, shades of the Wicker Man debacle? it may turn up one day, you never know). What this disc needs is a scathing, witty commentary track by Blatty to set the record straight about all the trouble he had making the film and whats missing in the version we have now.
The thing that really drives this film forward is the creeping dread and unsettling exchanges between the Gemini killer and Kinderman that more than makes this a worthy succsessor to the original excorcist.
Give it a go but ignore the gore.

This is a definite improvement on the previous entry in the series, you know, the one with Richard Burton. In fact I would venture to say that it's the best of the sequels and prequels.
There are a few good shocks, and although there is a fair amount of dialogue that's not entirely to it's detrament. It has it's own pace and a decent degree of intelligence, though I've decided to give it 3 stars because of the ending.
I would say that for a decent price it's definitely worth a look if you like the other films in the series.

Ok, so everyone knows the exorcist. From parents to young children in the playground; it's a household institution and it deserves to be. Classic horror generally follows a pattern in my eyes; debut film is brilliant, but the subsequent (and often cheaply made) sequels/prequels get progressively worse. So imagine the situation, 3.00am in the morning and I've just sat through the entire Exorcist box set, when I come across the last sequel in the set 'The Exorcist 3'. At the time I had just suffered the completey dire script of Exorcist 2, so wasn't in any frame of mind for another measely attempt at draining some more money from the 'Exorcist Institution'. Despite this I begrudgingly put in the film, only to be really amazed as to how enjoyable it was.
Now I'm not saying this is an epic piece of cinema by any standards, but it is bloody good! I found myself jumping in points of high tension and even quite haunted by some of the imagery in the hospital scenes. The film has a few flaws and is by no means perfect, but for those that avoid sequels just as I do, I strongly urge you to watch 'The Exorcist 3' I think you'll be plesantly (or more likely scarily) suprised...

Who says sequels can't improve on originals!!!
Friedkin's original "The Exorcist" will always stand up as one of the great films period... However i've always felt the term "a wee bit over-rated" sums it up for me! Read more

Scary and a real credit to the book.
If you loved the book or just like a REALLY scarey horror film then this is it.
This will make you afraid of the dark again and you'll never want to go into hospital again... Read more
