This creepy collection presents all three films in the EXORCIST trilogy.
THE EXORCIST - With THE EXORCIST, director William Friedkin rivals Hitchcock for heart-stopping terror...
more...in this deeply horrifying masterpiece that led to religious boycotts, fainting and nauseous audiences, and a commercial success that forever changed Hollywood. Linda Blair plays Regan, a 12-year-old girl possessed by a demon. After exhausting all the options of science, psychology, and medicine, Regan's mother (Ellen Burstyn) realizes the supernatural nature of her daughter's condition and resorts to a religious solution, turning to Father Karras (Jason Miller) for an exorcism. Aided by the mysterious Jesuit exorcist Father Merrin (Max Von Sydow), Karras must confront not only supernatural phenomena but also his own inadequate faith and displaced guilt over his mother's recent death, a personal torment the demonic Regan uses to manipulate him, with disturbing results.
EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC - Richard Burton stars as exorcist Father Philip Lamont in John Boorman's sequel to THE EXORCIST. The cleric, who is struggling with his faith, is investigating the death of Father Merrin (Max Von Sydow), who was killed in the course of exorcising the Assyrian demon Pazuzu from Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair). Although now seemingly normal, Regan continues to be monitored at a psychiatric institute by Dr. Gene Tuskin (Louise Fletcher). In an attempt to plumb her memories of exorcism, Dr. Tuskin has hypnotized the girl, to whom she's linked by a "synchronizer" and is so overcome by "witnessing" Regan's memory of the event that Lamont has to rescue her. After a tour of the Georgetown house where the exorcism took place, Lamont returns to be coupled with Regan by synchronizer. The priest is spirited to the past by Pazuzu to observe Father Merrin exorcising a young boy, Kokumo (Joey Green), in Africa. Learning that the boy developed special powers to fight Pazuzu, who appears as a swarm of locusts, Lamont journeys to Africa, defying his superior, to seek help from the adult Kokumo (James Earl Jones).
THE EXORCIST III - Screenwriter of THE EXORCIST, William Peter Blatty, takes up the helm of this sequel. On the 15th anniversary of the exorcism that claimed the life of a young priest, a nightmarish series of bizarre, religious murders haunts a local police lieutenant (George C. Scott).

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.
