Relive The Trilogy that Frightened The World!
The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen
Brace yourself as
one of the all-time
spellbinders possesses you all over again. Director William Friedkin and producer/screenwriter
William Peter Blatty have revisited The Exorcist to
integrate 11 minutes of scenes and images
deleted before the film's
1973 release and digitally
restore the picture
and audio
elements. The result is an
experience more gripping than ever.
Now seen are moments deepening the impact
of the performances
by Linda
Blair, Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow and Lee
J. Cobb. They include a
"nervous disorder" diagnosis, expansion of Father Merrin's arrival before
the ritual,
priestly doubts during the ritual,
an epilogue with Lt. Kinderman and Father
Dyer and most
notably, a
shattering staircase descent by Regan.
Winner of Oscars for
Best Adapted Screenplay (by Blatty) and Sound,
The Exorcist astonishes time and again
like no other movie.
The Exorcist 2: The Heretic
Bizarre nightmares plague Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) four years after her
possession and exorcism.
Has the demon
returned? And if so, can the combined
faith and knowledge
of a
Vatican investigator (Richard Burton) and a
hypnotic research specialist (Louise Fletcher) free her from its grasp?
Employing production design and special
effects that are dizzily exhilarating and a
supporting cast (Max von Sydow, Paul Henreid, James Earl Jones) of
compelling distinction, director John Boorman draws us into the tangible
experience of evil. We fly with the demon,
feel the African
landscape vibrate and get
engulfed in
the terror
of swarming locusts as
Exorcist II: The Heretic weaves its fascinating, frightful spell.
The Exorcist 3
A woman crawls by unnoticed
- on the ceiling
like a
fly. A long-dead killer claims victim after victim. Flames erupt, snakes
slither, the ground
opens and reveals a
writhing pit of the damned.
The evil is back.
Also back is the creative
force whose novel and Oscar
-winning screenplay shaped the trailblazing
the Exorcist. Adapting his novel "Legion," William Peter Blatty
writes and directs
The Exorcist III, a
jolting foray into terror that begins where the first
film ended. George C. Scott plays police Lt. Kinderman, investigating
mysterious murders. Kinderman doesn't believe in
demons and possession.
Not yet. Jason Miller reprises his priestly role from the original.
And look for
Samuel L. Jackson, pro basketball's Patrick Ewing and more
bit-role surprises.
