My thoughts on the transfer is I thought it looked great. I did notice the colour bleed but it didn't bother me. The reds were a bit oversaturated but I was satisfied. I was sad director William Friedkin died just before the 4k release. Good video John.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Thanks Mark, it's a bit like when George A Romero passed away just before Night of the Living Dead got a proper restoration after being in public domain more it's whole life 😔 cheers again for your views 😊😊👍👍

Love the movie but the transfer was hit and miss for me,I'm glad I picked it up but can't help thinking it's a missed opportunity

What did you think of it mate? 😊👍👍

[@davidhatred7275]

the first time i saw the exorcist i was 12, my friend had lent me a pirate vhs, telling me it was the scariest film ever, i watched it downstairs by myself laying on the sofa, the quality was terrible. by the time things were kicking off i was on the edge of the sofa, when the pea soup shot out i leapt up, shot upstairs and didn't return for the rest of the night, i just left it playing. totally freaked me out! i have always chased that sensation with horror films ever since.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Great story David 🎃🎃👍👍 oh to be as scared as that in our adult years mate!! I remember being terrified with many movies at a young age (too young) sadly these days I only get the odd jump scare or freaked out by a creepy scene 🥴 so how long was it before you went back to The Exorcist and watched it fully David? 🎃🎃👍👍

[@davidhatred7275]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies i'm not sure if i finished it during that period but it didn't diminish my taste for horror, i grew up with alien and predator, both of which i owned before i was 10. i think i was just primed by the mythic status of the exorcist and didn't know what to expect, i definitely bought the vhs with the spider walk after the ban but i've always preferred the bare bones version without the additions. i think aliens is the rare exception where special editions work, i dont even like the apocalypse now redux lol too much filler that ruins the flow.

[@singin8324]

I haven't seen the 4K version, John but as far as the movie goes it's up there with the scariest movies ever made.

Hi John, I"m actually planning on picking the very edition of "The Exorcist" the coming week, its not my very fav horror movie of all time but a very effective & classic & much talked about movie even today. The stairs scene still the scariest scene in the movie for me, thanks for sharing the info in regards to the transfer, take care, speak soon.

Hello John. Ime glad you put my mind at rest regarding the new 4K of the "Exorcist" and its my Brothers favourite 80s film which he might get at Christmas? The retail VHS you have is Swedish (AB) och det är bra min vän👌

[@thischannelisdeleted]

It’s not an 80’s film.

[@Coastlinefx]

@@thischannelisdeleted Sorry, i know its not a 80s film but rather a early 70s movie. Call it a freudian slip, as i wasn't born then and only saw it in the 1980s

I hate how they changed the beginning audio music right at the intro for the Atmos mix… it sounds more modern but not as scary. Compare the two and you will see.

Nice review John.... love the comparison screenshots 👍

[@rockgod2004]

I think it's a fantastic transfer John. I didn't even notice any of those points until you pointed them out. For me I think people have been ridiculously picky about it. It's the best this film has ever looked. The bit you showed of the train in the subway? The 4K shot looked miles better to me. The colour bleed from the red book onto the priest's hand didn't look great admittedly - but like I said if you hadn't have pointed that out, I honestly don't think I'd have even noticed it. After I heard all the negative things about it, I was absolutely over the moon when I watched it and I watched both cuts. What a film - and Wow what a transfer. I think Warner Bros have done an amazing job mate.

[@roybarratt5609]

Hey John 👋 hope you and the Debs are well 😀 The wife and I went to see the 4k remaster at the cinema last Saturday night at the cinema having heard the extremely mixed reports of the transfer. It started with a fantastic introduction by a film historian giving the sadly sparce audience a background to the works of William Friedkin and telling us how proud they were to unveil the new transfer. Then the film started and I was horrified 😮 The picture was extremely soft and colour bleed was off the scale. When people were in outdoor scenes it looked like them ready brek adverts when we were kids with a red glow round them. To make things worst when the 2 fathers were going up the stairs to start the exorcism the screen froze for about 10 minutes 😢 They got it going again and the film finished. On the way out of the screening the manager was waiting by the door. She explained that their equipment was faulty and it wasn't performing to its capability and gave us vouchers for a free movie including film and drinks. The next morning i unwrapped my 4k copy just to check 😆 🤣 and yep it looked sumptuous and I really can't see what the complaints are about. ❤ sorry for the long story 😅

[@gavvo-7640]

I agree, I saw this at the cinema last night. The introduction was brilliant. Then the movie started...I had to rub my eyes because I thought it looked wayy too soft. At times looking like a VHS copy. My 4K looks nothing like that at home. But the soundtrack...wow what an experience!!!!

[@roybarratt5609]

Cheers for this message Roy! Wow that's nuts mate 😱 I would have been raging about that 😡 will you be able to go to see The Exorcist again? Or is it finished now 🥶 I'm getting mixed opinions of the transfer in the comments and for me personally I don't have an issue mate if I'm honest 🤔 a similar thing was said about The Shining when it came out on 4k, that it was too warm, personally I had a great time with that one as well, glad you had a good experience finally with the filum in the end! I know it's your wife's favourite movie......funnily enough it's not The Debs favourite 👻🥴🤣🤣👍👍

The VHS is from Sweden, it's not our language. Sweden didn't have as strict censorship as Finland, so they had a bit more vibrant versions of horror movies. Netherlands and Greece didn't really have censorship, so their tapes were the best. UK cassettes were better than the Finnish equivalents, but not much better than the Swedish ones.

Hi John I agree with what your saying but still need to express the two disc Blu-ray £7.99 version is still great value and the quality is great. If your on a budget still would highly recommend the big question is do you prefer the 2000 extended directors cut or the original 1973. After watching it I do prefer the 2000 extended

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Hi Glenn, yeah the blu ray is a great release and it still holds up really well today Glenn 🤔🤩🤩👍👍 I do prefer the extended cut mate, mainly for the Spiderwalk 😱😱🤩🤩 great set piece! Can't understand why it was dropped! It's so effective, Friedkin thought it looked bad, but I beg to differ 🤔😁 I'll watch the Theatrical cut next time as I haven't watched it in years, but I'll probably go Extended for every watch after that 🤔 cheers for watching Glenn 🤩🤩👍👍

[@-lukesfilmunboxings]

[@robgray1999]

I think it’s a great transfer in general, did notice a couple of shots in the exorcism scene that looked a bit like VHS quality for a quick moment, but think that’s down to the original footage and maybe using different cameras for those shots, the higher quality has just emphasised the issue. Can’t understand where some of the colour bleed has come from though if it isn’t present on other formats

[@austinwillcut4919]

"that's down to the original footage".....the blu ray never looked like VHS quality in those shots, even the old DVDs don't look like that.

Cheers for sharing your view Rob, I do think that in some movies they use multiple cameras and you can see fluctuations in the shots, maybe the cameras are cheaper in some scenes, maybe the colour bleed comes from when they switch up the contrast on other parts 🤔 it's a funny one!

[@gavvo-7640]

I went to the cinema last night and they showed the Director's Cut in 4K and on the big screen it looked awful, soft focused and hard to see the detail. But.. the soundtrack was exceptional!! I heard things I've never heard before -like Regan scuttling along the landing before she heads down the stairs for the Spiderwalk. I thought the 4K looked pretty good on my set up at home, whether it's just my eyes, I did think the Theatrical Version looked better for some reason. We will never get a better version of The Exorcist for home viewing. I think Friedkin went a bit OTT with the color grading over the years, so I will keep my DVD from 1998 to watch the final act how it was supposed to look. Great review btw.

Hi John, I streamed The Exorcist 4K from AppleTV+. The DVD is the last unfutzed release. Comparing the DVD with the 4K, all the daylight scenes are hyper real (vivid/unnatural), all other faults pale in comparison. These observations were made on an LG OLED in ISF Dark calibrated mode. While the DVD is probably closer to the OCN, the DVD has digital artifacts (due to a low 5Mbps encode) that doesn't make it a great viewing experience. Billy Friedkin (RIP, bless his heart) is well known for revisionist tinkering. I guess he had the last laff?

For me I hated this transfer and is everything I hate about 4K or HDR/UHD specifically. Over sharpened, over saturated colors. It is so overdone. If this is what people like, cool, but it is the farthest from natural looking. I can't stand it. I taught Photography and when UHD became a fad, which has now poured over to movies, everyone and their mother used that App on their photos. Oh look, a new toy. Overused and used in inappropriate times. DO you really think UHD is appropriate on food photography. NO NO NO. Oooh, look how sharp that banana looks, it looks like metal. Cool. Uh, no. Just stop.

I think 4k looks crap. Too much teal. House By The Cemetery and New York Ripper looks awful.

[@comiccollex958]

This is just not true and unfair to dismiss the format in this way. There are fantastic examples of 35mm and 70mm film being transferred to UHD that are stunning. Unfortunately there are examples of over over sharpening use of Dolby Vision in particular which is certainly revisionist. I find HDR10 is usually a more faithful to the source. How are you viewing theses films? I find UHD flatscreens are a problem and are far to too bright and can seem digitally processed. A calibrated 4k projector is the way to view these movies.
