The Exorcist III

Rating:
Summary: Third time's the charm...
Review: Name one other movie that manages to maintain such a stranglehold of suspense and terror on its viewer with such a minimum amount of blood and no real gore at all. "The Exorcist III" truly delivers after the wretching "Exorcist II: The Heretic," which is simply two hours of my life I won't get back. Although III is not without its continuity flaws (It is said in this film that Kinderman and Karras were the dearest of friends, and that is was murder victim Thomas Kintry's mother that helped Damien with the language tape during the MacNeil case), it still manages to deliver, especially the final ten minutes. This is the perfect companion piece to the first film and it should be viewed as such. It's a shame the stains of the second film kept audiences away from this one.

Rating:
Summary: A great sequel
Review: Terrific sound, great acting, and haunting images. It is much scarier than the overrated original. It's a shame that it is seldom mentioned in favorites lists.

Summary: chilling and atmospeheric tale of evil powers
Review: I must say that this is one of the few movies that i have found really creeepy. Maybe it was the dark and evil emotions it created during the watching of the movie i dont know but i have seen 1000's of horror movies and this one is the only one except for Superstiotion that have made an impression that has lasted for years. A must see movie

Summary: One of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen.
Review: I first saw _The Exorcist_ when I was very young, and it scared me to death. I couldn't sleep for three weeks. But as a long-time lover of horror movies, I appreciated the terror. When _The Exorcist II_ came on television not long after, I eagerly watched it. And was horribly disappointed. So when _Exorcist III_ came out, I did not want to see it. Friends saw it, told me it was terrifying, but I refused. Finally, I saw it on TV a few years after its release, and I wish I had seen it in the theatre. Amazing. Creeping horror, suspense, lasting images--the waiting area to go to Heaven, Mrs. Claylia crawling across the ceiling, the white figure coming out of the locked room after the nurse . . . it stays with you for some time. It still terrifies me every time I see it.

Summary: Surprisingly better than the original!!
Review: I've been a horror movie fan for quite some time now, but I must admit, this one left a really long-lasting impression on me. This one made me regress back to childhood by sleeping with the lights on for a while. I can even remember seeing couples leaving the movie theater after the first 30 minutes of the movie. Trust me, if ya wanna be scared, grab your Bible, and watch this one with a few friends.

Summary: Very worthy sequel
Review: Very worthy, AND very overlooked. I think this film was overlooked because "Exorcist ll-The Heretic" was so god-awful that people didn't even bother giving this film a chance---me included. I would've loved to seen this on the big screen. The plot, dialogue, acting, lighting, screenplay...it all falls together nicely, and makes for a very creepy movie. I agree with some of the latest reviews below: A special edition DVD with commentary from the director, Jason Miller, and Brad Dourif would be an excellent addition to a DVD collection (too bad we now can't get George C. Scott's two cents worth). The special edition could also be in TRUE WIDESCREEN, for this current DVD is not. This is nothing more than the pan and scan with black bars added (like so many other DVDs out there). I'm sick of it. MGM is notorious for doing this, as are some other studios. Anyway, I, like so many others it seems, am waiting for the proper treatment of this largely unknown classic. We'll see if MGM can deliver or not.
