Dynamite edit.
For everyone who knew there was a great movie just beneath the surface in Exorcist III this edit is probably as close we’ll ever get to Blatty’s original vision.
The opening works perfectly.
The tightened scenes throughout are justified.
The Father Morning/Exorcism scenes are not missed.
The new ending is more than satisfying.
The dialogue changes/reconstructions work well. Fans who know this movie inside out may find them slightly jarring on first viewing but I’m sure this will fade with more viewings.
The extra scare shot during the murder of Father Kanavan is worth the download alone.
All in all, one of the most satisfying, worthwhile and competent edits I’ve found on this site. As much as I enjoy the original I can’t see myself watching it anymore, Spicediver’s edit is indispensable.
