Summary: RIPPING AND TEARING
Review: This movie won't do anything for your phobia of the elderly. The first time I watched this movie was on a poorly-dubbed, third-generation tape. The movie would darken at random moments, and depending on the chemically-induced skew of the viewer, could be seen as timed with specific frightening events in the film. At that time, it was scary as all hell. Having seen it a few more times, without the dramatic "light changes" it wasn't nearly as scary. I also realized the reason I appreciated all of the visual trickery was because Blatty was photocopying Stanley Kubrick, especially the unconventional distance shots and imaginative use of "deafening" silences between characters. Although Brad Dourif and George C. Scott give convincing performances, the script is borderline and the dialogue constantly veers from genuine to absurd. The visual style remains consistent and is the best thing this movie has going for it. The whole thing is shot in a grainy, grimy print, with lots of good gothic imagery, which adds to the darkened mood. There are some classic shots in this movie : The distance shot of the hospital desk (which is straight from the Shining), the old lady scampering across the ceiling, the visit from the "nurse", and the first conversation between the Gemini killer and George C. Scott. I also like the fact that all the characters still smoke heavily, especially the doctors and nurses. Apparently lit tobacco is symbolic of character-related cynicism. Blatty doesn't seem to want to "gore" you to death, but is rather concerned with building mood over the length of the film, which is great. The problem is that the plot seems more like an afterthought, which dilutes the effectiveness of its resolution somewhat. All in all, lots of good devil-possession fun, and it might make you look at Grandma in a different light.

Summary: Why did they even waste their time?
Review: This movie is absolutely NOTHING compared to the original! I think its an insult to the first one for the people to have even considered making this movie. They could have saved a lot of money,time,energy and humiliation by just not making this movie!

Summary: The Excorcist 3 - An untold Classic
Review: Based on the book by William Peter Blatty, The Excorcist 3 - Legion is one of the untold classic horror films of all time. This piece of Cinema magic is the true sequel to the original Excorcist. Forget The Excorcist 2, this was a waste of time. This video is a classic and should never be forgotten. Personally i think this is really good and would recommend it to any horror fan. Its quite scary but not as dramatic as the original. By the way it's unavailable un the UK in PAL format anymore. Only as NTSC so a multi-format video machine is required.

Summary: Boring as hell.Wasn't even scary.*1/2
Review: Did William Peter Blatty go out of his mind.I suppose he did.It was bad enough when "Exorcist II:The Heretic" was made.Even the performances by George C.Scott could not save this depressingly made movie that is inspired on a real life serial killer(From what I heard).I sat through this film for almost two hours and I realized one thing:"The Exorcist" alone was a classic.Did they ever think about that.No,they didn't.I would think that William Peter Blatty would do justice with this sequel.I was wrong.This sequel along with "Exorcist II:The Heretic" deserves to be exorcised.Because with a film this bad,the filmmakers should realize not to mess with the original.Oh,did I mention that they might make an "Exorcist 4"?More news I didn't want to hear.When will they ever learn?They won't.

Summary: THE HERETIC IS WAY BETTER THAN THIS!
Review: OH MY GOD THIS FILM WAS AWFUL. IT REMINDED ME OF A LONG X-FILES EPSIODE. THE SCREENPLAY WAS HORRIBLE. ESPECIALLY THE PART WHERE LT. KINDERMAN IS TELLING DYER ABOUT THE FISH IN THE BATHTUB. THE MOVIE WAS GOOD AL THE WAY UNTIL AFTER THE JESUS STATUE OPENED ITS EYES. AFTER THAT DOWNHILL. BORING! THE HERETIC WAS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THIS FILM. THE HERETIC IS THE MOST UNDERATED FILM OF ALL TIME. THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE LIKED THIS ONE WAS BECAUSE IT TRIED TO SCARE YOU. THE HERETIC WAS MUCH MORE INTELIGENT. SO ANYWAYS THE FILM SUCKED THE BIG ONE. EXORCIST 1 AND 2 ARE THE BEST. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP!

Summary: If it isn't broke...why fix it??????
Review: This movie was an insult to the original Exorcist made in 1973. I can't understand why a class act like George C. Scott would agree to be part of such garbage. There are few exceptions that a sequel is as good or better than the original- Exorcist 3 isn't one of them!!! The only freaky part is the old lady crawling on the ceiling--other than this scene the movie is a complete waste of time. The original Exorcist is the ultimate in horror. Skip the sequels!

Summary: An good supernatural movie with good performances.
Review: Writer and Directed by William Peter Blatty(also based on his novel). Did a surprisingly good job with the film. The story is about a unholy spirit goes inside and possess the living to do his killing at uncertain civilians living in Georgetown. A police detective Kinderman(George C. Scott) believe that is copy cat murderer in his home town. Fifteen years ago,a serial killer named himself the gemini killer died at the electric chair, he believe he copy the exact same way he killed his victims and there`s a possibility, he could be alive and living in a person soul. The movie does a lot of good scares and good characteristic roles in the film. The only flaw, i didn`t like in the picture is Nicol williamson(Thankless Part) as father Morning, it was very unnecessary into the movie. But i give Blatty extras point from being well acted and directed with style. DVD picture quality is almost perfect and Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Soundtrack is excellent. The only thing is missing from this DVD is the english and french subtitles. Grade:B.

Summary: The DVD switch was lackluster
Review: I've seen some excellent reviews of what the movie was about by other customers, so I won't get into the plot/storyline. My rating is about the DVD. This has been one of my favorite horror movies, from the time I first saw it in the theater. I couldn't wait for the DVD version. I figured, with digital sound, this picture could be even scarier, despite the amount of times I've already seen it. I watched it the other night, and I must express extreme disappointment with the way the sound was set up. The majority of the sound comes out the center speaker, and despite ample opportunities to take full advantage of the digital sound to add to the creepiness, the DVD version never fully cashed in. If you're not looking for the sound, but rather the picture quality, by all means, purchase this. You don't have any additional features either. But, if you were like me, and love the whole DVD Digital sound experience, you may be in for a disappointment.

Summary: Take 1, Skip 2, Take 3!
Review: Third installment of the infamous series, this one written and directed by William Peter Blatty, author of "The Exorcist," is a perfect and fitting companion piece for the original. Uniquely serious and scary, and extremely well-acted by a superior cast including the late George C. Scott, and Brad Douriff.
