Review of The Exorcist III (1990) by Alec B — 07 Nov 2011
I hope someday we are able to see Blatty's original cut of the film (which is supposedly wildly different from this one in tone and execution) because its clear the intent is to make something that is more of a companion to 'The Exorcist' than a direct sequel, so all of the exorcism stuff that was added on in re-shoots of the ending feel out of place.
It also (thankfully) disregards Exorcist II, so calling it III doesn't make much sense. What does remain of the original idea are the most engaging sequences and makes the film watchable (even creepy at times).
The scenes with Brad Dourif alone warrant the film a viewing.
