WOW!!! Who would've known that the 3rd film in The Exorcist franchise would turn out to be so damn Awesome!!!
Of course the 70's Exorcist is a Classic or Masterpiece & part 2 is supposed to be trash? But part 3 is a fantastic Detective story full of creepy atmosphere & spooky imagery & freaky dream sequences & an incredible central performance from the legendary GEORGE C. SCOTT.
Now i had only ever seen the great veteran actor Scott in the scary, gritty & sad 70's Thriller " HardCore" & his performance in that seedy Thriller as a disturbed religious father lost in the grimy underworld of the Los Angeles porno scene trying to find his daughter was outstanding in my opinion. George was a brilliant actor that's a fact & made an impression on me in that creepy Thriller.
Here the great actor plays a bitter & angry Detective (another incredible performance) who is haunted by what he deals with everyday as a Cop. There's a sicko sadistic serial killer on the rampage & the deaths are horrific & symbolic with religious themes & the stress of these disturbing murders are getting too much for our hero Detective. Lieutenant Kinderman is a great character to follow on this dark & twisted demonic Mystery as he's an old guy that's full of Rage at a world that is so cruel. I really identified with Scott's character here & incredibly intense performance. Scott brings lots of intensity to the role & a hardness to the old bitter Lieutenant that just rings true.
The atmosphere here is fantastic with it's creepy rain drenched city & creepy hospital settings, especially the mental ward scenes & the whole movie has a polished Crime Thriller feel to it but with a supernatural Horror undertone that fits nicely into the religious Horror stuff of the first film. We see those famous steps from the first film & an atmosphere that reminded me of the Classic John Carpenter Horror "The Fog" & that's a huge compliment as i consider The Fog to be the greatest Horror movie ever made!!!
I'm so glad I've finally seen The Exorcist 3, it's a great film & i like it alot more than the dreary first film.
Scott's performance is so damn good here & you total believe in his hard character & understanding why he's the way he is. He says a fantastically true line in the movie to his old priest friend "The whole world is a murder victim" he means all the Death & Horror that happens constantly throughout the entire world!!! Damn he's right & damn he's a great movie Detective.
A fantastic Horror Thriller with Scott's undeniably brilliant performance that grounds all the religious demonic stuff.
