Just read the book...


After the great Mr Blatty died I decided to read the book which I have never read and I bought the bluray with tons of extras and a great transfer. It also has a directors cut which i have not watched yet but it has its own page on IMDB under the books name Legion.

Better than the Exorcist? God no but it is worth a look. I seen it many years ago and just remember it was confusing. After just reading the book it all made sense. The ending was not like that in the book. I guess they figured it was called the Exorcist there had to be one. Another part of the book that was deleted was another doctor who had a big part from neurology.

The movie had several very creepy moments with the great George C. Scott hamming it up. After the horrible Exorcist 2 there was no way but up.

Worth a look.

The Exorcist- 10 out of 10.

The Exorcist III- 7 out of 10.

Glad you liked it. Had Blatty actually filmed his novel, it would be interesting to see what he did with Dr. Amfortas, the EVP material and Amfortas' Doppelganger...
