Thanks for the review of one of my favorite film. Gonna be somewhat long-winded here, please bear with me. I don't think EX III exactly cheapens the Friedkin film. Of course it's by no means the classic movie that the first one was - it barely comes within a stone's throw of the original. But having said that, there's no way the novel Legion could have been successful in the theaters, and the studio was correct to demand the re-write with an exorcism and an exorcist. This for the simple reason... SPOILERS ...that the novel's ending is not "cinematic". The Gemini Killer simply drops dead in the "climactic" scene when he finds out that his abusive preacher father, whom he's been trying to scandalize via his murder spree, also happens to die of natural causes. No build up to an intense climax which is so necessary to most competently-directed suspense films. Nor is there "no real connection" to the original Exorcist. Damien Karras is back - his body, at least - in the pages of Legion. The demon has reanimated Damien's body precisely in order to cause a scandal to all people of faith. This works in Legion; Blatty's original (discarded) screenplay; and in the final revised film with Damien Karras returning AS Damien Karras, not just as a resuscitated corpse. Yes, bringing Damien Karras back AS Damien Karras is a bit of a cheat, as you point out. In the original novel and film, the saintly priest has gone on to his heavenly reward. In Legion, only his empty, resuscitated BODY remains to be possessed by the Gemni. It's not fair that the vengeful demon re-inserted Karras's soul, along with the Gemini, into the priest's resuscitated corpse. But even so, the new scenario "ups the ante". Now, Damien Karras who in the first story rescued Regan MacNeil, has now become himself the object of rescue by Fr Morning and Lt Kinderman. We are cheering for the final liberation of Damien Karras, which is, at last, delivered. I don't find Fr Paul Morning intrusive at all because he's gradually introduced to us in three scenes. It's more than a "window blowing open" - a bird he's been caring for dies suddenly inexplicably already in rigor mortis; Morning's crucifix falls from the wall "by itself"; Morning looks at it and finds that it is bleeding; only after these premonitions does "the Pazuzu Wind" begin to blow into the priest's room, and the lights go out. We have been told that Morning had already performed an exorcism that "turned his hair white overnight". So we have plenty of Merrin-like preparation for expecting this very aware priest entering combat with the demon and the Gemini. As if that were not enough, we are also shown Morning in a chapel, praying the one prayer that is repeated through the film: "The Lord is the defender of my life ... my ... life", which ties into the "Save your servant" prayer that Fr Dyer says at the beginning of the film, and which Damien, in one of his non-possessed lucid moments, prays: "Save your servant... KILL IT!" which informs us that Damien is aware of his own possession, is still praying for God to deliver him, and he knows that the only "secular" means of killing the Gemini and expelling the demon is to kill "it" - Damien's own haunted body. The only real "break" from the original film is not the very funny "friendship dialogue" between Kinderman and Dyer, but rather the rather adolescent scene of the elderly male patient exposing himself to a nurse, and the silly jocular "misunderstanding" about Dyer's brother, Eddy's, manner of death - was it disease or was he actually killed in Vietnam? - in either case, not material for joking around. Nor are Nurse Allerton's shouting/bitchery fits. And George C. Scott's tirades are a slap in the face to the gentler rendition by George C. Scott. And yes, we DO NEED Brad Dourif because Jason Miller was in the grip of alcoholism and could not remember all the long Gemini dialogue, so they REHIRED Dourif - who did the ENTIRE Gemini character/dialogue in the first version that was rejected by the studio. THAT is the reason that Dourif is on camera more than Miller. (You get around to this eventually.) There is no real confusion about Karras breaking out of the coffin. He "died", was seized and put back into his body, along with the Gemini, and the demon woke him inside the coffin. Then the demon compelled Karras/the Gemini to break out of the "cheap coffin (vow of poverty, disgusting"), which shock kills Brother Fain, the elderlycasket attendant. The Gemini then puts Fain's body into the coffin, and the Jesuits, unaware of the exchange, bury Fain, thinking they're burying Damien Karras. The University President explains this absence to Kinderman in a deleted scene, and the Gemini himself explains it to Kinderman. This is why the final scene shows Kinderman and Atkins at Karras's graveside - Fain's body has been rightfully exhumed and Karras's body has rightfully, finally been placed in its last resting place. Actually, it's not just Kinderman's police gun that liberates Karras and expels the Gemini - it's also the direct intervention of God. For the first time in his theological work, Blatty actually brings the formerly hidden deity on stage, in the form of a beam of holy light, which revives Morning, enabling him to continue the exorcism, which in turn frees Kinderman from his frozen posture stuck to the cell wall. It's a "teamwork" exorcism, involving Morning's piety, God's intervention, and Kinderman's gun. Actually, the nurse-corridor scene has the purpose, beyond the jump scare, of for the first time, actually showing us one of the Gemini's crimes. It shows how the Gemini possesses "old friends" and gets them to kill people. It shows the ubiquity of the Gemini's fluid presence in the hospital. I could go on and on, but enough is enough. Thanks for the review.

The Guest has references to Halloween 3 near the end and the composer used the same keyboard and equipment John Carpenter used to score Halloween 3.

Nice work, Dan!

I love the Silicates too. This film used to be on a lot when I was a teenager and I always enjoyed it. It was scary if you're a kid.

Hello. I Luv Sanna here! When you say extract...why not put the entire thing up?

This is my favorite monster movie of all time. Let's face it there are no monsters equal to the Silicates!!! All the kids in my neighborhood and I saw this movie when it was first released in our local theaters!!! The movie is complete and totally superior to the cut VHS and DVD and Blu-Ray versions. All the kids I knew on my block and in school agreed on two things the movie scared the crap out of us!!! And we all stopped eating chicken noodle soup!!! The corpses the silicates left behind were easily scarier than any corpses left behind by any other monster!!! Plus the power to divide every six hours or after a delicious bone meal makes them more powerful than any other monster even Godzilla!!!! No other monster can duplicate itself like the silicates can. In just one week of dividing there would be 268,435,456 Silicates!!!! Eventually they would devour every living creature on the face of the Earth. Then they would starve because there would be no more people or animals to eat because they ate them all!!!! Scary!!!!!!!!! The movie makers left the movie in a "cliff-hanger". They owe us three movies - The Silicates Take Tokyo, Silicates Invade Italy, and Silicates in Central Park!!!!! And then one final movie "War of the Silicates"!!!!!!

Thanks for your kind words Dan. Yes it was our attempt to recreate that very exciting car chase. In Oldham 😊

I love it. Especially the bit about the stereo mix 😉 Good work, chaps. Can you explain the car journey? Is that your Keith the Vampire Killer car chase remake?
