The Exorcist III is a 1990 horror movie directed by William Peter Blatty and based on Blatty's novel 'Legion'. It stars George C. Scott and Brad Dourif.
The movie is a sequel to The Exorcist and ignores the events of Exorcist II: The Heretic. It takes place in Georgetown fifteen-years after the events of the first film, in which a young girl named Regan was possessed by a demon.
Detective Kinderman (Scott) is a philisophical police detective who was briefly involved in the case of Regan's possession. He has to investigate a string of grisly murders that appear to have a satanic motive behind them, and furthermore have all the hallmarks of a serial-murderer known as the Gemini Killer. The most baffling thing is that the Gemini Killer was executed years ago.
The evidence eventually leads Kinderman to the psychiatric ward of a mental asylum where an already disturbing case takes a shocking twist.
Tagline: Do you dare walk these steps again?
Although it did not match the success of the original, it is nonetheless held in much higher regard than The Exorcist II. The slow pace and emphasis on dialogue in The Exorcist III is cited as a reason for both liking and loathing it by horror fans.
Samuel L. Jackson, basketball player Patrick Ewing, and model Fabio all make cameo appearances in a dream sequence, in addition to television host Larry King's appearance as himself in a restaurant.
