Why it’s HorroRated
The Exorcist III is one of the most underrated horror films ever made. George C. Scott anchors it with the weight of a dramatic performance and the film is more interested in grief and faith than jump scares. The hospital corridor scene is one of the most effectively delayed scares in 90s horror. Wildly underseen.
Synopsis
Kinderman from the original Exorcist returns to investigate killings that echo a long-dead serial killer. The case pulls him toward a psychiatric patient he's been visiting and the connections become increasingly hard to rationalize away. William Peter Blatty directs his own sequel with a focus on grief and faith rather than shock, and George C. Scott makes every scene he's in count.
