    The Exorcist III is a much better horror film than The Exorcist, i stand by this. The writing and performances in this film are peerless in the genre, imo. And it's so malevolently WEIRD.

    THE EXORCIST III (1990) Dir. William Peter Blatty I wanted to spotlight a film that found its audience at last. Long dismissed, now fully embraced- as it deserves. Rewatch it and remember the craft, the acting, and that unforgettable jump scare that still ranks among the best ever put on screen.🎞️📽️

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Legion (1983) by William Peter Blatty was adapted to film as The Exorcist III and directed by Blatty himself. Both tell a detective story, but the film heavily leans into the supernatural aspects in order to connect the previous films. ⛧🕴️😈 #filmsky #booksky

    Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #109 "The Exorcist III" (William Peter Blatty/1990) Blatty adapts his own novel Legion to film with excellent results. While it continues characters from The Exorcist, it is more its own story. Check it out.

    Writer/director William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist III ignored its predecessor—and his film was better for it. The new one isn’t great and (worse) it ignores III which is sublime.

    113. The Exorcist III (movie, 1990, rewatch) This movie is William Peter Blatty ruminating over whether his faith is able to weather the bottomless evil of the modern world, and while I am not a person of faith myself I find it makes for a gripping and terrifying experience.

    Rewatching THE EXORCIST III (1990). Christ, this thing is amazing. After creating a whole subgenre of horror with the first movie, William Peter Blatty predicted that 90’s horror would be all about serial killers. What a legend.
