>"I think the dead should shut up unless there is something to say" Not the biggest fan of the original, thought it was overrated. But 3 is slightly better. Unlike the original they cutback on the supernatural stuff mostly and focuses more on the mystery. It's slow burning and dialogue-heavy but there weren't any moment throughout the runtime that had me bored. Some really intriguing and mysterious scenes, with The Gemini Killer being my favourite character along with George's main character. The performances were really good and Brad's performance is probably one of the best acting performances I've seen in a while. I would've loved to see more supernatural killings or even a bit more scares. The final moments were solid but feels rushed.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Exorcist III’: 1. The creepy voices were the true stars here. Very reminiscent of the original. 2. Decent continuation story here, along with some genuinely eerie visuals. Weird editing at times. But the real downer of the film, for me, was the excessive exposition. They spent so much time explaining so much of what we already suspected. Felt wasteful. 3. Brad Dourif’s performance was particularly impressive.

Like me singing Queen: a little all over the place and nowhere near as good as the original.

Blattys dialogue delivered by Scott & Dourif is pretty exceptional for a third entry in a franchise. I think you could cut 20 minutes and tighten it up for near perfection.

The Exorcist III isn't nearly as brilliant as the first movie, but compare it to the sequel, it's a masterpiece. This is what I call sluggish film that you'll need a lot of patience to get to the good stuff. Well, the whole movie is kind of like that. Every time I think something is goin More

Very good sequel retains the high standard Blatty's original screenplay set!

In going through the original 'Exorcist' trilogy (I have the DVD 6-pack, with the two versions of the remarkable original, as well as the two recent prequels, so far unwatched), I was intrigued of seeing Oscar-winning wr More

What's good in this film we can attribute to William Peter Blatty's script and direction and to the casting, especially Brad Dourif and George C. Scott; what's bad, to Executive Meddling – in particular the last minute exorcism performed by a last minute priest; it says a lot that Burton's Father More

This was the best sequel to The Exorcist they made, and that isn't really saying much. The second one was horrible and the ones that followed were horrible. In fact, I think they were so bad it was instantly remade.

But, this one was decent, it felt the most like an actual sequel to the Exorcist, More
