I want to vote for The Exorcist but the fact is I love the series as a whole (discounting Exorcist IV: The Beginning) and as a stand-alone movie I don't enjoy it nearly as much. Anyone who hasn't seen Exorcist III: Legion, owes it to themselves to see it. ______________________________________________ REGION B - The "Jocks & Whores Must Die" Regional Finals!

Whenever I watch The Exorcist, I pop in Legion right after, so I find myself viewing them as almost 1 film. Has anybody here seen Legion? William Peter Blatty directed it (Author of The Exorcist and Legion) Other than the studio changed ending it's flawless and there are rumors of a director's cut which I would kill for.

I love Legion too, but the Exorcist is far better in terms of Horror, IMO. Also, if you were a real fan of the series you would've voted for it anyway!!

Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (1987) Halloween (1978) I'm typing this before I vote on the last one. I've always said Halloween is one of the better horror movies, but I've also always said that Evil Dead II is one of my favorite movies. The poster is four feet away from me. HOWEVER, I am also of the opinion that EDII is more of a parody (much like Scream, and I always agreed with BPS when he said Scream shouldn't count in situations like this), and since Halloween set the bar, I'm voting for it. Tough choices all around. Excellent tournament. Maybe doing these in October screws up the voting. And did doink technically admit to liking Exorcist II: The Heretic?

It's not great by any stretch but it is really underrated due to the high expections of it. Any Exorcist II would have been shit upon. In my opinion it's miles ahead of Exorcist IV: The Beginning.

gWIL 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2005 Also, has anyone seen Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist? It got a limited release and isn't on DVD yet. For those that don't know it's Exorcist: The Beginning done by a different director with a largely different cast, it's suppose to be excellent and supposedly was though highly of by William Peter Blatty. Morgan Creek hated it and totally remade the movie. I can't wait to see it, in fact it will be a blind buy the day it comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
