The Exorcist III

The Exorcist author William Peter Blatty is back with the second sequel to his 1973 hit. Fifteen years after the violent exorcism of Regan MacNiel, Lieutenant Kinderman is on the trail of a serial killer whose MO is identical to that of the long-dead Gemini Killer. Could demonic possession be to blame?, Forget Exorcist II - this is the 'official' sequel to the notorious original, and it's a worthy successor. Fifteen years after Regan MacNeil spewed forth her pea-grean soup, cop George C Scott is dragged into an ungodly maelstrom at the local psychiatric ward when a series of ritualistic murders rocks Washington. Largely replacing outright gore with implied terror, the film plunders Brad Dourrif's possessed mind to powerful and disturbing effect.
