Years ago, I wrote to Blatty. I told him that I thought the Devil lost in the original film with the original ending, and it was not until Exorcist III that I begun thinking that the Devil won. He wrote back! He said the original was never intended to be a horror film but a movie portaying psychological warfare and the battle between good and evil. I still have his letter. My monastery is in Washington, DC, and he wrote that he is retired and living in Maryland and hoped to come by for a visit. Sadly, he never did.

Did he mention anything about the theme of child abuse, i watched a breakdown of the original by a guy suggesting Reagan is being abused by the old drunk guy friend of the mother. It made a lot of sense looking back now.

[@ErinJeanette]

[@aa11ct9]

@Adrijana Radosevic the movie and the book are far from being about the perils of "uterus owners pursuing a career". In the movie the drunk guy is observed outside Reagan's room. Back in the first floor, he wants to confess something he did but leaves before confessing. Immedately after that, the infamous deleted scene happens. In that scene we see Reagan "walking" down the stairs with blood in her mouth. She is in an inverted position. The whole secuence is meant to express she was raped. From that moment the girl has a disturbing behaviour. This is clear in the scene with her masturbating with the crucifix, and her quasi-rape towars her mother. It's sexual abuse and/or the begging of a possesion. It's not a man vs. woman movie like those of nowadays

[@steveanderson7864]

So, one thing that I don't think you guys mentioned is the weird reference to Child's Play.

I never noticed it before until I watched it again after enjoying this review!

[@hector-sauvage]

Yes, the film is actually full of these in-jokes and references. It definitely rewards close attention on repeat viewings.

[@hexapusink]

That snap zoom in the hospital is, to this day, the most effective jumpscare I've ever witnessed. Jay is absolutely right, you just kinda give up looking for something to be scared of. You know something is going to happen, because it's a movie, and you wouldn't be seeing this if it wasn't important, but so little happens for so long, and then WHAM! So expertly timed, the actors walk in almost perfect sync of one another, and you don't get enough information to know what exactly you just saw. Just enough to know that that poor nurse is another victim.

No lie, this attitude is what fully opened my eyes to the true magic of filmmaking. The insight that what I am seeing on the screen is (hopefully) always being shown for a REASON.

I really appreciate the audio engineers in this film who made the lines of dialogue so rich and saturated with atmosphere. It's feels very intimate and surreal. The dialogue from most of the actors felt like worried whispers; everyone speaking softly to one another like they are scared and wishing to keep what's happening a dirty little secret. Mix that with the demon's confident, proud, and boastful voice...very good.

Nooooooooo, you mean that horrible filter they put over his voice?

[@ActivistBatonVI]

One of my favorite scenes, it was unsettling, the ambient score and uncanny atmosphere, it actually made me tear up for how haunting and depressing it was, there's people from all walks of life, even animals, children and babies were there, people who never got to live and a few people looked visibly upset like they're processing their death. No other scene regardless of genre, has hit me hard like that one. One of my favorite shots was the windows of the cathedral, I always wondered what was out there.

[@StandAsYouAre]

The fact that they don’t show the viewers the bodies works so well on a psychological level. When real crimes are committed the public for the most part never sees the carnage (just like in the movie), yet we also don’t get to see the trauma the first responders experience having to deal with. We see through Kinderman the toll that years on the police force has on him through the horrible crimes he is called to. We get to see how awful the crimes are through his reactions.

[@guthax30]

People judge the exorcist just on "scares" when it's actually just a well shot, well acted movie with great dialogue that happens to be a horror movie (in my opinion).

This film is great, I love it. It's horrifying and creative without gore, has one of the most effective jump scares of all times and makes me laugh so hard in parts with it's dry humor. George C Scott is simply amazing. His dialogues with Dyer are such gems!

[@evillynn4166]

So glad this film is finally getting the respect it's been due. I've been telling anyone who will listen to watch it since it came out! It's my second favorite horror film of all time. Fun fact: Former Surgeon General C Everett Koop is also in the diner scene.

[@heyitsme4751]

Mike: “You can’t trust a demon...” *long pause* I am now lead to believe that Mike is the manifestation of a demon (possibly mr Plinkett)

[@ChargerBulldogs19]

Sheldon Dinkleberg Nah, Mike has been possessed with the cursed spirit of Eloisecole, the Mesopotamian goddess of death

[@StephenAnderson98403]

Mr Tinkelp was a real movie critic of Polish descent in Madison, Wisconsin who was murdered but believed missing and body never found. This was 1973, the year Mike was born. His unwarranted demise left his soul as an angry revenant that possessed the child to exact his wrath on the living and manifested himself as a split personality named with a bizarre spiritual reversal of syllables. Someone close to Mike is quite probably the murderer/murderess and I'm surprised this has gone on so long without action by the guilty party (unless they are deceased) and possibly Mike is unaware. I wonder where Mr Tinkelp's remains are and if their location had an impact on the cause of the haunting, or possession, if you were.

The Exorcist was a cultural phenomenon of its time, but TE III is timeless.

[@punchdaggercraft181]

Holy shit that jump scare....I dont think these goosebumps will ever disappear.

[@Hirnlego999]

Well, otherwise the movie was rather flat wasn't it?

[@lurchl1]

Nope

[@stevenmoens8047]

The priest in the reshoots is played by the actor who also played the Gnome King/psychiatrist in Return to Oz and Merlin in Excalibur. Nicol Williamson, great actor!

[@Dystopia1111]

Good catch! I could never quite place where I had seen the actor before until you mentioned Excalibur. Absolutely loved that movie and his portrayal of Merlin was just perfect, he stole every scene he appeared in.

[@shugaroony]

He really was a tremendous actor. Unfortunately he had demons of his own, if you'll forgive the pun.

[@daffyphack]

That "what are you telling me?" at 21:05 is such a small moment, but it is probably my favorite in the entire movie. Because of the dream, you know something bad has happened, but the way Kinderman responds just makes it clear that because of what has happened, nothing will ever be the same.

[@cancelme4200]

the commercials for this movie freaked me out as a kid. the jesus opening his eyes scared the crap out of me.

[@seydasneed]

This movie is so unbelievably underrated

[@durden2480]

The scene with the dead priest and the jars of blood, is masterfully done

[@luckyspurs]

Although discovering it has been more pleasurable for it.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Cut from Wikipedia: *Despite his misgivings about the studio-imposed reshoots, Blatty remarked on his pride in the finished version of Exorcist III: "It's still a superior film. And in my opinion, and excuse me if I utter heresy here, but for me...it's a more frightening film than The Exorcist."[10]*

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@solidtank7957 They nominated George C. Scott for a Razzie for this film. I don't get why, just looking at the footage here he's great, it makes me really want to sit down and watch it all.

[@spacelordification]

Fun fact the actor who plays Father Morning,the priest with the pigeon,is the legendary Nicol Williamson who played Merlin in Excalibur and Little John in Robin and Marian to name a few!

[@rookmountain]

And a nod to Williamson's Sherlock Holmes in The Seven Percent Solution

[@creepyskulldini581]

Concerning the matter brought up at 8:04 in the video here, here's a quote from a 1997 issue (#21 exactly) of the magazine 'The Phantom of the Movies Videoscope .. . "The trouble seems to be that, with many of the great fright films, once an audience knows what's coming, it's almost as if the audience needs to laugh at the film's lost ability to shock them as a form of revenge, if you will, for the scares inflicted the first time around. So then maybe it's more of a tribute than it might appear at first. "

[@fettfan91]

The script in this movie is so good, it feels like real people talking and not plotty dialogue.

[@Namfooodle]

The Ninth Configuration is great, you should definitely see it.

[@BigVorst]

I can't hear them talk over how loud Mike's Shirt is.

[@kurtissmejkal9387]

George C Scott is underrated as a horror actor. The Changeling is also equally great.

[@luckyspurs]

George C Scott is underrated in everything.

[@johansmallberries9874]

There’s that movie where he’s searching for his missing daughter and has to watch a porn she’s in and it’s all just his tortured reactions. Something about watching this guy, a square jawed old badass, breakdown in movies is so effective. And he has the balls go for it. Cry, scream, all of it.

[@kurtissmejkal9387]

@Grant Kerr Also too I love that movie for essentially pulling a Pet Sematary and killing the kid but they throw in the wife too and kill them off in the first 5 min

[@trouty606]

As of October 2021, this is on Netflix! Just watched it for the first time and it absolutely holds up, so glad that RLM recommended this so that when I was looking for some spooky Halloween season viewing I knew to give it a shot. Brad Dourif completely steals the whole movie, it's a sight to behold.

[@justherefortheviolence]

Brad Dourif is incredible. Glad they uploaded this otherwise I probably wouldn’t have seen it.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Before the Exorcist, Blatty was known as a writer of comedy. His books are hilarious, including The Exorcist. It is actually a very, very funny novel. You guys MUST see The Ninth Configuration. One of the very best films ever made. Masterfully written and directed. Also, read the books. Incredible.

[@chudd6125]

It truly is an intelligent and well crafted film...

[@Blackhawks19_xx]

It’s one of the most successful psychological horror films ever. It’s haunting.

[@WhatSmada]

It's one of the greatest films from after 1972. It's generslly at the top of many Top Lists by phenomenal writers. It's tattooed on my aunt's backside.

I’ll assume his mother in law is Polish because keeping a carp in the bathtub for a couple of days and then killing it, is such a Polish thing to do.

[@tenebrasm]

She can also be czech (same thing).

[@ZigCopasetic]

Rofl. Im Polish and my parents did the same.

[@4c3f4c3]

I'm not polish but my mom did the same with fish. Not a lot of people know the awkwardness of a situation like a walleye with a death sentence watching you from the tub as you take a shit.

[@johnbrown1860]

Its a Slovak thing too from what I've heard from a coworker with Slovak in-laws.

Used to be common practice in Germany as well, my grandparents regularly prepared Carp for dinner on New Year's Eve. The Carp swum for a couple of days in the bathtub in order to make it taste less of dirty old mudwater.

I am happy I am not the only one who loved this movie and found it highly underrated.

[@stackspace]

Have you watched the film yet?

[@tonyf.3932]

@@stackspace Don’t worry, I plan on watching it this month. I’ve had the film on Blu-ray for a while now, saving it for October to get me in a more Halloween-y mood. I even rewatched ‘The Exorcist’ last Saturday in preparation for this. Once I’ve seen the film, I’ll let you guys know 🙂👍🏻

[@tonyf.3932]

Good news, everyone: I finally watched ‘Exorcist III’! I chose the theatrical cut to watch and finished it just now. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and now I think it may be one of my favourite horror films. Next I have the ‘Legion’ director’s cut to see so maybe I’ll save it until next October for the Halloween season 😊

[@tonyf.3932]

Hey, guys! Just writing to say I also watched the ‘Legion’ director’s cut for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was the first film I watched as part of my annual horror film marathon. It was interesting to see the new scenes of the original cut in V.H.S. picture quality. I liked this version of the film, but I prefer the theatrical cut. After watching ‘Exorcist III’ a second time, albeit a different cut of the film, it’s definitely one of my favourite horror films ever 😄

[@jeffmitchell289]

Here's another fun fact about the random scene with Larry King in it. Right before the camera zooms in on Larry Kings face and your looking through the restaurant window, former US Surgeon General C. Everett Coop is the man sitting at the table with his iconic beard and bow tie. ..

The opening credits scene is interesting. When the camera is moving down the street you can see a priest running around in the background.

[@Matheusss89]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Possibly one of the most underrated horror movies and sequels ever. It has a lot going for it, and the more i watch it the more i appreciate it to be honest. I remember the second time i watched it, and when it showed that old lady arriving at the church in the beginning, i realized it was one of the nurses and catatonics from the hospital, something i didn't even noticed in my first view. haha That dream sequence has some interesting details to it too.

[@RoninDave]

Other than the out-of-place exorcism at the end, this is a surprisingly good movie and scary. The long shot on the nurse ending with a sudden scare is a masterpiece!

[@richardcarpenter24]

Exorcist III was excellent. For the studio having a short leash on Blatty, I thought he did a good job with this movie. I think this is Brad Dourif's best acting performance.

[@riffgroove]

One of the rare occasions where the director's cut is NOT better than the original movie.

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

I was raised Roman Catholic, so all of those shots of the church and its icons, really brings it home for me. The horror is not just a story, it is real. I can still remember my 1st Confession, when I was seven (7) years old. The scent of incense in the church. The wooden crates, that looked very much like coffins lined up in the back of the church, which were the "Confessionals." Once inside, I would kneel at the window separating me from the confessor. When he slid the panel open, all I could see was his sillohute through the wicker screen dividing us. If I heard a demonic voice talking to me... I'd be out of there! 😮

When I was a kid, I was tramatised by the scene where Gemini described how to properly bleed someone to death. No gore, no jumpscares and no CG effects. Just him explaining how to do it like you would explain how to broil a steak. That will stay with me forever.
