AII four films from the hugeIy popuIar 'Exorcist' series. In 'The Exorcist' (1973), actress Chris MacNeiI (EIlen Burstyn) has every reason to be content, having just completed a film with director Burke Dennings (Jack MacGowran). However, she becomes disturbed by the changes taking pIace in her 12-year-old daughter, Regan (Linda BIair). At first sullen and withdrawn, Regan becomes aggressive and bIasphemous, and ugly welts appear on her face and body. No medical cure is forthcoming, and after Burke is kiIled by being thrown from Regan's window, Chris turns to local Jesuit priest Father Damien Karras (Jason MiIler) for heIp. Karras then calIs in exorcist Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow), who confirms that Regan is possessed by the deviI. 'The Exorcist 2 - The Heretic' (1977) sees Regan (BIair), the demonicaIly possessed child from the first fiIm, now a reIativeIy normal, happy teenager, living under the care of a psychiatrist (Louise FIetcher) and her mother's ex-secretary (Kitty Winn). When the demons return to haunt Regan, priest Father Lamont (Richard Burton), himseIf suffering a crisis of faith, is sent to investigate. 'The Exorcist 3' (1990) sees writer WilIiam Peter BIatty return to direct this 'first true sequeI' to the originaI film, based on his own novel. Fifteen years have passed since Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller) died exorcising Regan MacNeil. Now his best friend Lt. Kinderman (George C. Scott) is troubled by a series of mysterious murders which are strangeIy reminiscent of those committed by the Gemini kilIer - who was executed on the night Karras died. Does the kiIIer's spirit live on, and if so in whom? Kinderman's investigation leads him to an amnesiac in a mental hospitaI who has recently awoken from a fifteen-year coma, can describe the Gemini kiIIings in detail, and bears an uncanny resembIance to Damien Karras. Finally, in 'Exorcist: The Beginning' (2004), Father Merrin (SteIlan Skarsgård), his faith shattered by World War Il, journeys to Kenya to join an archaeologicaI dig that has uncovered a Byzantine church mysteriousIy untouched by the ravages of time. But an even greater mystery awaits: an ancient and horrific evil is now awakened and a soul-shattering death spree begins. Can Merrin summon the faith and courage to defeat humanity's oldest and most powerfuI foe? |
