thought this was so much better than the first one – better acting, script, editing, cinematography, sound, narrative structure and much better use of the space within the frame – looking forward to 5

I reiterate, Dominion is slightly better than this one. So the list from best to worst goes:

The Exorcist (normal and director’s cut) = Very Good
Exorcist: The Heretic = Good
Dominion = Ok
Exorcist: The Beggining = Meh
The Exorcist 3 (Theatrical Cut) = Terrible

I haven’t watched the director’s cut from the exorcist 3 but it’s probably the same crap.

Heretic is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made, but you rate it as the “best of the rest”.

Best critic in here apparently…

Widely regarded by who. There are plenty worse. Although when I look at some of the lists of worst films ever there are some that I enjoy watching. For example. Sex Lives of the Potato Men. I never tolerated any of the exorcist sequels as they just do not have that Mungo Jerry vibe.

You must be a special kind of stupid. Heretic was good and 3 was terrible??? Are you really that stupid? Heretic was one of the worst films ever made and all versions of 3 are one of the best thrillers ever made.

Exorcist 3 rules through- Brad Dourif is great in that movie. Haven’t seen the uncut version yet either.

Big Exorcist fan as you all may know..
This film is car to superior to the Dominion version.. it has a deeper story … It’s actually more believable and of course it’s not as good as the original or indeed the first version of legion BUT it has a great story and setting.

Some nice back story and some neat jumpy thrills … I like it .. I’m also that old I seen it on release in the cinema. . .

Seen it? You seen it did you? Say it again properly, you ‘saw’ it.
The only jumpy thrill is watching you electrocute yourself

Saw this just a few weeks ago on another movie site and must say that its weak as piss and in no way comparable to the original. Save 2 hrs of your life and watch something else rather than trawl through this piece of cinematic garbage.
