Great horror film! Not fair it got caught in the Exorcist franchise as it can stand on its own as a great movie. The script was fantastic, the acting was superb and the story, as silly as it might be, works really well in blending thriller and horror together. The nurse scene is ...( read more)

This movie creeped the hell out of me and gave me nightmares. I'm often afraid to re-watch it. There are a few scenes to make you jump out of your chair. I hate thinking about the dream sequence at the bus station in heaven, the hospital hallway, the statue with the painted Joker...( read more)

May 11, 2007I do believe that there will not be another Horror Movie to top this.Except for The Exorcist the original,this is the best.In this sequel to the original,George C. Scott plays Lieutenant Kinderman (originally played by Lee J Cobb) and is investigating a series of grisly murders that somehow link to a killer thats been dead for years.The opening is Classic with Tubular Bells and hellish growls.Great acting,great novel,great scares and a really great mystery horror thriller.Blatty did a wonderful job with this!
