    Very good sequel retains the high standard Blatty's original screenplay set! In going through the original 'Exorcist' trilogy (I have the DVD 6-pack, with the two versions of the remarkable original, as well as the two recent prequels, so far unwatched), I was intrigued of seeing Oscar-winning writer William Peter Blatty's second stint behind the camera (for the record, I adored his 'The Ninth Configuration', done…

    "The Exorcist III" is an intriguing film which has many varied shades. It is a murder mystery and then, by turns, a superior horror film. This comes as something of a surprise since it was always going to be problematic at best conjuring up a credible sequel to one of the most notorious horror films ever made (it actually earned over $100 million in its first theatrical release and its enormous popularity coincided w…
