The Exorcist III Reviews
with a crudely stuck-on exorcism scene at the end, this isn't a particularly satisfying Exorcist film, but it is a memorable, remarkably restrained horror film with one stand-out sequence that you’ll never, ever forget….
The standout performance is Brad Dourif as the Gemini Killer. Rarely has Dourif been given the free reign to appear on screen as himself and deliver a truly scene chewing performance that displays his full range.
The series' best sequel to date.
The film is excessive in many spots -- did we really need a lavish dream sequence, or cameos by the likes of Larry King, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, and Fabio?
Antiquated melodrama, almost sacrilegious. [Full review in Spanish]
Blatty crafts a shockingly effective slow creep that is unfortunately undermined by an over-the-top fan service ending.
...a pervasively hit-and-miss sequel that certainly stands as an obvious improvement over the mostly unwatchable second installment.
[George C. Scott] delivers a soulfully pained performance as detective Kinderman from the first movie.
Watching The Exorcist III is a frustrating experience, with both cuts of the film - one a victim of studio tampering, the other imperfectly restored - pointing to the better version of themselves that, like Karras, remains hidden within.
Against his will, Blatty added the sound-and-fury finale, and it's easily the weakest aspect of his movie. But that's mainly because everything that comes before it is so hauntingly understated.
Too much of the movie takes place in dark rooms where people describe horrors that might more profitably have been on the screen, and the plot is a house of cards that constantly collapses.
May not have the visceral impact of the first film, but it gives viewers far more than they had any reason to expect.
Blatty is interested in the words most of all: the dialectic of intellectual debate, the ritual litany of naming, the recitation of prayers. To name something is to tame it; Blatty is interested in our eternal struggle with the unnamable.
Brad Dourif's full performance as the Gemini Killer.
Suggests that Blatty had seen and loved many films without ever really paying attention to how they worked.
Exorcist III wields a mighty sword of scares and contemplation, drilling into those primal areas of nail-chewing tension...This film is a humdinger.
A good chunk of The Exorcist III is taken up by a series of sit-down chats; close-ups of Scott's ugly mug are the only half-frightening thing on the screen.
It would be downright incomprehensible, in fact, if Dourif didn't do such a dandy job in explaining things in a couple of long, madman monologs.
