I was bored to tears with this film and kept looking at my watch to see how close it was to being over. The characters were forgettable, the story is nothing new, and I had to stop myself from laughing out loud at the acting quite a number of times. Widely regarded as a supernatural masterpiece, the film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director as well as acting nominations for Burstyn, Miller and Blair. The film won two Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Blatty. for example, is bathed in fluorescent light from the train and other sources, which not only stand out unnaturally but fall victim to visible blooming.

They were re-shot later on, including the ending, with Jason Miller, who portrayed Father Karras in the original film.

It’s also possible that folks just weren’t looking for something so unsettling. It’s part of the reason why Blatty originally set the story apart from the previous films, having nothing to do with exorcisms, and wanting the film to be titled Legion. However, Morgan Creek, who was financing the project, insisted on calling it The Exorcist III, and once they saw Blatty’s original cut, they were far from satisfied. An additional month of shooting was required to “fix” the film. An exorcism scene and other scenes relating to it were shot and dropped in, which ultimately didn’t sit well with Blatty, for obvious reasons, but it’s the version that was released. delights. Otherwise it just sounds like a dialed-up reimagining of the original mix, one that clearly prioritizes dialogue most of the way but sneaks in

In their 100 years of moviemaking, Warner Bros. has nine Best Picture Oscars to date, with a total of 26 nominations, making it one of the most recognized studios in that category. If you want horror movies, October is the month for you. Tons of horror releases (and 4K horror re-releases) are heading our way in October, including a bunch of Screams, The Mist, Friday the 13th, Rosemary's Baby, and the Shrek 6-film collection. Kidding about that last one! The Exorcist tells the now-famous story of a girl's demonic possession, and a gripping fight between good and evil. Linda Blair, in a breakout role, plays Regan, a young girl who starts to exhibit strange, arcane behavior. Her mother (Burstyn) calls upon a priest, Father Karras (Miller), to investigate. But Karras, who has a spiritual crisis of his own, is suddenly confronted with the unimaginable evil of Regan's possession. Father Lankester Merrin (Von Sydow), an archeologist-priest, is called to help, and a horrific battle for her soul begins. Controversial, haunting and popular from the moment it opened, William Friedkin's masterpiece The Exorcist turns 50 years old, featuring stunning 4K UHD restorations of the original 1973 Theatrical Version and the 2000 Extended Director's Cut.

the color timing of key sequences including the exorcism itself, which pushed its otherwise natural color palette towards one bathed in cool blue Warner Bros. has remixed The Exorcist in lossless Dolby Atmos for this 4K Ultra HD release. Their previous Blu-ray release had a reference quality lossless 6.1 mix and this elevates that. We get a wide soundfield, hyper-clarity of all the eerie atmospherics placed in the surrounds and overhead channels, and wide dynamic range. Speaking as a New Yorker, the early scenes with Father Karras in the subway sound completely authentic to the aural experience of the cavernous roar of the train pulling through the station. We also get moments with the ‘voice of God’ effect as Regan screams from upstairs, or a well-placed phone ring off to the side that will get your heart racing. The original mono mix is also included for the Theatrical Edition in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. It holds up very well considering the limitations of the format. The Supplements this 4K UHD presentation are mighty impressive and the two audio options -- a terrific new Atmos mix and the original theatrical mono -- help to make Though many appreciate and even love The Exorcist III today, it had its fair share of troubles due to its strong directorial control, among other things, and was attempting to be a piece of art reaching for an audience that wasn’t made of people who could appreciate it. Time has been kind to it as its now considered a worthy follow-up to the original, even if Blatty never intended it to be such. And with a gorgeous presentation and all-encompassing bonus materials, it’s never been a better time to revisit it. Highly recommended.
