A list of puns related to "The Exorcist III"
I've seen and own all kinds of horror movies of every genre and sub-genre. Even the ones people consider the scariest. I'm glad this movie in recent years is getting it's due respect. To me it's one of the scariest ever made, the movie totally gets in your head.
And to me, if a movie gets in your head, the psychological part of it will do more to you than anything you could ever see on screen. I also believe Brad Dourif should have gotten an Oscar or something for his role in this movie. He's a criminally underappreciated and underrated actor. Thoughts from my Reddit horror folk?
This is one of my fave horror films ever. Apparently it was Jeffery Dahmers fave film lol! I love how atmospheric and moody the film is and the less said about Exorcist II the better. That image of James Earl Jones dressed as a giant locust is trapped in my mind
With the recent release of yet ANOTHER exorcism movie that flopped, It's kind of got me thinking about Demonic Possession/exorcism as a horror subgenre.
To me, I think the major thing that The Exorcist, The Exorcist III Legion, and The Exorcist 2016 did that made those three things superior to any other demonic possession/exorcism movie was that it made the demon into a character as opposed to just some scary spooky monster that makes people act crazy.
An example would be how in The Exorcist 2016, how Pazuzu manifested himself to Casey as someone she could trust and someone who promised that he would take care of her and protect her, only to worm his way in and start taking total control of her. Pazuzu presented himself to Casey in a similar way as her mother from the 1973 film. A missing father figure. Regan's father was physically absent from her life due to a divorce while Casey's father had suffered brain damage due to a concussion and was mentally absent from her life.
Also, I think that the lines that the demon said in The Exorcist 2016 were bone chillingly brilliant. "Hell? Do you know what hell even is, Regan? It's where your daughter is right now...In a room with no windows, nailed to the floor, alone forever knowing it was her mother who put her there.....but don't worry, there's room for two...." Also in that same episode, I also thought it was really brilliant for the demon to reveal one of Angela/Regan's deepest secrets to a whole bunch of priests and nuns, that before Kat and Casey were born, Regan got pregnant and had an abortion (big no no in the catholic church) due to fear of what could happen to her children.
However, one of the things that I've noticed about modern exorcism movies is that they try WAY too hard to be spoopy and scary that it almost comes off as comical. It's pretty much this formula, have a posessed girl in a nightgown be tied up or chained down in some dark, dank dungeon or abandoned building, or spooky gothic church, have a priest shouting prayers and splashing holy water while the girl simply screams, convulses, and acts more like a mental patient than a possessed person. Then something goes wrong and everyone dies, the end. And that is literally every possession movie that tries to brand itself as "Scarier than The Exorcist".
Exorcist: The Beginning from 2004 almost suffers from the same problem, and that's technically considered the canon prequel to The Exorcist, Exorcist III and Exorcist 2016. (Dominion w

Blatty is an incredibly talented filmmaker and George C Scott is in top form in this. Love the direction it took the franchise, a shame not many people talk about it. What do y'all think?

I am trying to find these films but so far I have only found them as Region A locked editions. Any news regarding releases or knowledge on region free editions somewhere?
This time itβs the devil trying to get the priest out of the child.

Still wondering what lead him to stop being an orcist
I saw the Exorcist as a kid and it's always stuck with me. The atmosphere, the gore, the sound design and even elements of the plot were all so frighteningly well done that I've struggled to find another exorcism horror that felt comparable, or better, than this classic. So I'm wondering if I've missed out? Look forward to hearing what you all come up with.
So I bought the Exorcist the other day and proceeded to try to play the first level. First let me tell you that I am a fan of horror movies, I've never had to stop watching something because I've gotten too scared but I've definitely gotten freaked out at night and had a hard time sleeping.
Anyways, no one said how immersive VR Horror IS!!!!! It feels like you are there and you are about to die!!! I had to take off the headset like 4 times during the first level of the game. My whole body was clamy and the hair was standing on edge.
Also, pro tip. DO NOT WEAR HEADPHONES. It was scary enough without them and I literally had my GF hugging me for support while i walked through this shit show of a game.
PS. My gf and I have been together for coming on 2 years. DO NOT play this game in front of a new SO. You will look pathetic as fuck as you shit yourself.
Edit: Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is Horror VR is IMO the most immersive type of games you can play at this point. And this game is completely under-rated. I have heard almost nothing about it on this sub.
Do you get repossessed?
