Product Description
The evil is back. The Exorcist novelist and Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Peter Blatty triumphs again with this spellbinding sequel starring George C. Scott.Year: 1990"'The Exorcist III' is a much better film than either of its predecessors."-- Vincent Canby, New York Times"William Peter Blatty is David Lynch's good twin. He is eccentric, original, funny and daring, but he also has a sense of taste, pace and restraint. Which is by way of saying this is one of the shrewdest, wittiest, most intense and most satisfying horror movies ever made."-- Ralph Novak, People Magazine

William Peter Blatty adapted his novel and directed the film version of the second sequel to his blockbuster hit. Fifteen years later, Lt. William F. Kinderman (played here by George C. Scott, RIP) is still haunted by the tragic, mysterious death of his friend, Father Damien Karras (the the late Jason Miller, back in fine form). Then a grisly string of murders he investigates seems strangely connected with a case he worked several years previously. The culprit was the Gemini Killer, and Kinderman is informed that a patient in the psychiatric ward of the local hospital is claiming responsibility for the crimes. The detective decides to confront the patient, but he knows it's impossible for this person to be the Gemini - the murderer was executed in the electric chair - on the very night that Father Karras successfully expelled the demon in the first film.
Kinderman is in no way prepared for what he is about to face - evil wearing the face of his old friend, the priest's soul being tormented for the devil's pleasure - and a bloody rampage that claims the life of another friend, Father Joesph Dyer (Ed Flanders, RIP). Braving the supernatural force, the detective must face his worst foe to end the crime spree and free his friend's soul . . . . . .
Blatty wisely did not try to top his original masterpiece; instead, he presents a portrait of a few of his key characters engaged in their own battles and trying to contemplate the meaning of life and death in general, all the while incorporated the supernatural to reach the point. The movie seems to have a more significant meaning since many of the top billed cast members have now passed on. Understandably, the film did not do well at the box office due to the previous sequel's disaster, but LEGION is an underrated gem. If you have seen the first film, you might like to see this one. Try to remember that it became before "The Silence Of The Lambs".

If you enjoyed the first movie, skip the second movie and head right to the Exocist III. This was a great sequel to the first movie, and was scarey like all hell. Loved it. The drama and religous suspense do the first movie justice, and then some.
Format:DVD
The main caracters of Kinderman, Father Dyers and Karras are back to face the evil in Goergestown for an ultimate time in this mysterious thriller of horror about a serial killer and a famous connection to the original exorcist that almost took the life of Regan McNeil 15 years ago. George C Scott is terrific in the main role. Enjoy it, and don't watch it alone. The plot has a lot of details that you may need to watch it more than 2 times to understand all this exorcist case related to the past. A perfect sequel.

Wonderfully directed, but a little too "talky"

Even worse than Exorcist II
Although this third sequel had a few return characters, unlike the second sequel, it was as confusing as number 2.
