ORIGINAL: evil bill THE EXORCIST III - 1990 William Peter Blatty writes and directs The Exorcist 3,based on his own book Legion,and it starts where the first film ended but 15 years later.Back in Georgetown ,Boston a series of mysterious murders begin,and police Lt Kinderman (George C Scott)is on the hunt for a killer he thought long dead.What is the link between the killer and the exorcism that took place 15 years ago,the same night the Gemini Killer was killed? This is a brilliant chiller/horror movie that aims to scare the pants off you,but it is also one of the most plot and sub plot laden horror movies around.Not that this is a problem as it is never boring,but that you really need to be focused on this brilliantly plotted story.Blatty took some real risks with this movie,as it shys away from gore,and go's into some disturbing weird dream shots.But Warner's took the scissors to this fine movie and tagged on a different ending,yet with all the interference it still works.And this is down to fine performances from George C Scott and Ed Flanders who have some great lines from the very start,also Brad Dourif who is just chilling in his part.Jason Miller,Scott Wilson,Patrick Ewing also add to this great mix of three dimensional characters,and even Samuel L Jackson turns up as a basket ball coach.I really don't want to give away the plot too much as this could spoil the fun,but believe me this has one of the best scare scenes ever put to film,see below for a snip.It's a movie that asks you to use your brain,yet still has the old horror movie feel to it,a great build up and use of fear of what you haven't seen,slow build up,sudden shocks etc.Those who have seen it fall into two groups,those who hate it! and those who love it!and i love it,but make sure you get the region 1 if you can,as it is the most complete version.Great movie for these dark nights coming in,and a must see for any horror fan,get it on Amazon from only £2.69 region 1,110 minties of brillant horror except for that last 15 that where added.Love to see the directors cut if it ever see's the light of day,with 20 minties of Blatty's footage returned to the movie. This very scene (above) absolutely scared the shit out of me at the midnight screening in 1990.Worst thing was,i had to walk my then girlfriend home afterwards and then walk home by myself ! Sob !
