Surprised he didn't try to top The Exorcist...

I wish he tried to make a horror movie as scary or creepy as The Exorcist, there's never been anything else quite like it. I guess he's the kind of director that doesn't like to repeat himself.

Didn't he try that with 'Cruising?'

He DID try again with "The Guardian" (1990)... and boy, did he fail.
