Title: It really is that bad
Product review: Yes, the other reviewers were right. The studio bosses were right. But as someone who feels The Exorcist is one of the true masterpieces of cinema I needed to see what Schrader made anyway.... Lemme tell ya - you CAN miss this version.This version of the film is a completely boring, thematic re-hashing of the original Exorcist. The faithful priest and the questioning priest. The innocent who's possessed. Oh, what an insult!Of the two versions of the Exorcist Prequel (which I have seen both), I prefer the Harlin version. It was an okay film. Not great. But the saving grace for Harlin's version was he let Vitto Sorranto do his thing with the cinematography and we got some truely memorable shots! But in this version Vitto is held back and could be mistaken for some amatuer.Anyway, thats my take. On the whole, the series began and should've ended with "The Exorcist - The Version You've Never Seen".
