Review of The Exorcist III (1990) by Philipblake — 25 May 2019
The Exorcist III is in fact the only entry in the franchise that really scare the s**t out of me. Some sequences are just creepy as hell. As always both George C Scott and Brad Dourif are absolutely brilliant and the directing is actually very fine for someone who wasn't a director (since the job was done by William Peter Blatty, the franchise's creator).
The director's cut (titled The Exorcist III Legion) is superior on many points, but the theatrical version is still a very good version. Barry DeVorzon's original score added more scare and is also probably the best of the franchise, ironically the soundtrack is still unreleased to date.
Some boring unnecessary sequences are going to decrease the overall rating but that's nothing to be mad about.
