exorcist trilogy

Advantages: First film was great
Disadvantages: Third film not as good as expected

...girl whom was possessed by the devil. The film which was previously banned thanks to the church made a big impact on the public when it was originally released. The girl becomes possessed in the first film, the church becomes involved in order to rid her of the demon. She survives and then goes on to make a second film years later after the first film caused a nervous breakdown for the young actress. The second film takes place four years later. ...
...cult of the locusts. This was a great film but not as heart stopping as the first. The third film is about the young priest from the first film whom was posessed by a serial killer who was executed at the same time as the original exorcism was taking place. A great set of film's. 100% must see. They are great original movies, was one of the scariest films around. The intensity of these films make them great. The director obviousy wanted to scare ...

Review of The Exorcist/The Exorcist 2 - The Heretic The Heretic / The Exorcist 3 (Box Set) (DVD)

Scream... it broke all the rules.

Advantages: Unpredictable. Good performances. Witty
Disadvantages: can be gory in parts

Scream (1996) was the one that broke all the rules and revitalized how the audience viewed horror/slasher movies as Kevin Williamson's screenplay and Wes Craven's direction found, and used, the satire in the genre. Throughout the film there are a lot of 'red herrings' to throw the audience of track which makes it interesting rather that the usual predictability of this type of film. Some of the characters included: Casey Becker - (Drew Barrymore): ...
...credits of the film by the killer wearing a white mask, the killed is then known as ghostface. The mask is warn throughout the film to prevent the killers identity being revealled. Caseys gutted body is found by her parents hanging from the neck on a tree in the garden. Sidney Prescott - (Neve Campbell): Sidney is affected by the rape and murder of her mother Maureen almost a year before and this has an affect on her relationship with boyfriend ...

Review of The Exorcist - The DVD Collection (DVD)

A film made in Hell

Advantages: its only a film
Disadvantages: is it?

The Exorcist (Directors Cut). I'm pretty sure that by now, most people would have heard about the Exorcist film, either Film, Dvd, Video or just from memories of parents. The later of this summary is what I'm basing my review on. I was one of many who stood outside the cinema in the pouring rain, of the first showing of this movie, at our local cinema in the early 70's. I thought it was quite funny at the time to listen to; Priests and Nuns outside ...
...it more. Yes at the time it was truly horrifying, and left a real chill down the spine, every time I heard a bird in our loft after that I was convinced it was the devil looking for another possession. But time moved on, and 100's of Horror films later, it all seemed a distant memory, and then I came across this DVD, the Directors Cut, it had me intreaged, what would be different and would I notice any difference. My son who is nearly 17 asked ...

Review of The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen) (DVD)

Anyone want a mug of Kokumo?

Advantages: Possesion is 9 tenths of the law
Disadvantages: That's not really true :-(

...the best thing in an Exorcist film. This film basically has her in a rehab unit, recovering from the traumas of being possessed in the first film. A priest called Father Lamont (played brilliantly by Richard Burton) comes to interview her and try and find out what really happened to Father Merrin all those years ago. They use a contraption (a synchronizer??) to bring their minds together and travel through the mental cosmos to find out what really ...
...ex-wife Belinda was also in Exorcist II and Deliverance. Rating: 18 in the UK; R in the US Running Time: 118 minutes, although it does seem a good bit longer than that. Things I've learned from this film: 1. Peanuts can be used to imitate locusts if you're short of budget. 2. If you can't remember something, synchronize your brain with an alcoholic playing a priest, that'll remind you of things. 3. "If Pazuzu comes for you I will spit a leopard!" ...
