Storyline
Set fifteen years after the original film, The Exorcist III centers around the philosophical Lieutenant William F. Kinderman who is investigating a baffling series of murders around Georgetown that all contain the hallmarks of The Gemini, a deceased serial killer. It eventually leads him to a catatonic patient in a psychiatric hospital who has recently started to speak, claiming he is the The Gemini and detailing the murders, but bears a striking resemblance to Father Damien Karras.

Dread this thick stays with you, long after the shock of projectile vomit and masturbation by crucifix has worn off.

Slant Magazine
Few people love William Friedkin, John Boorman, and Paul Schrader as much as I do, but in my book, of the six or so films that have tried to turn that tortured title into a continuing franchise, Blatty’s The Exorcist III is the best, hands down.

Exorcist III may not have the visceral impact of the first film, but it gives viewers far more than they had any reason to expect.

Time Out
With the exception of an unnecessary spectacular climax, this is a restrained, haunting chiller which stimulates the adrenalin and intellect alike.

This may sound like heresy, but The Exorcist III is a better and funnier (intentionally) movie than either of its predecessors.
