Movie Review: Exorist III

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 8/5/18, I am checking out the Exorcist III.  It stars George C. Scott, Ed Flanders and Brad Dourif.  "A police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the hallmarks of the deceased Gemini serial killer, leads him to question the patients of a psychiatric ward."

  • Since they do not make anymore of these flicks the Locus market must have dropped big time!
  • That is weird, just a random guy standing there....oh its a dream
  • I like that the priest in these flicks are mostly flipped
  • What the hell was the point of this scene
  • What in the hell?  Who buys lemon drops at the movies!
  • Carp?  I did not know people ate carp 
  • George C. Scott was a great actor!  Only he could do that carp scene and not make it horrible
  • Wow, Scott just basically said what I say about God. 
  • That lady sounds ancient...and fake
  • That was a weird cut and trying to figure out what happened, good thing my wife was here it explain it!
  • Jesus!  That killer is sick
  • That hospital is horrible!  I sure would NOT want to be there
  • I like that the corner was wearing sunglasses to start with, then take it off all dramatic like
  • Who takes dance classes at 10p?
  • How many drugs was the writer on during this dream scene?
  • Nice to see Fabio in a flick, he needs more work
  • So many weird camera shots in this flick
  • I do NOT think it was such a wonderful life
  • Well the flashing scene did nothing really
  • Why does the doctor need to rehearse the speech?
  • Brad Dourif is SO weird looking
  • Good grief these flicks are LONG
Well that was a trainwreck of a movie!  I can only guess the inclusion of George C. Scott keeps it at such a high rating.  It was...well all over the place.

The crime aspect of the flick was well done and the idea that they thought they had the killer dead yet he is back is not a new concept but one that can be done well.  

Everyone performances are good to very good.  I cannot fault them, it is just the exorcism and the inclusion of it seemed very forced.  Hinting that this was a demonic possession would have been better if you ask me.

Overall I cannot give this more than a 4.  The craziness of the script and the forced feeling of several aspects kind of ruined it for me!
