review of this edition HERE


...."The Ninth Configuration is also an adaptation of Blatty’s novel Twinkle, Twinkle, ‘Killer Kane’ which he considers as the second part of his ‘Faith trilogy’, and hence a direct sequel to The Exorcist; the novel deals with the existence of both Good and Evil, The Ninth Configuration deals with the mystery of Good, and the third novel, The Legion (adapted for the screen and directed by Blatty himself as The Exorciste III), deals with the human's punishment of Evil for original sin. Furthermore the character of Cutshaw is the same astronaut whom Regan predicts the death in The Exorcist)."....

if this pic does not get you exited, nothing will. IMO.

Maybe when the Director's cut of Exorcist III (LEGION) finally comes out - I can watch the whole trilogy!
I have a Fanedit of Exorcist III (called LEGION) and it has a lot of the missing footage - and it is quite a different film. I am sure the "proper" director's cut will have even more.

about image, here professional view : "

The image of the disc is presented in an overall good looking 1080p transfer which respects the original 2.35:1 ratio of the movie. The image is not exempt of defaults and the quality varies significantly at the beginning of the movie, especially during the outdoor shots of the castle under the rain, but this is really due to the shooting limitations at the time. During the indoor scenes, which represent the vast majority of the movie, the image is very good especially in terms of colours and level of grain. I didn’t notice any major defects apart from some minor scratches. Overall, the disc provides a very good watching experience.

Thanks @nefilim!
Brad Dourif deserved an Oscar Nomination for his role in Exorcist III. No question about it.
Love that film (even in its studio meddled version). Although, no matter how many times I see it, I still do a double take every time Patrick Ewing from the Knicks and Fabio show up!!

cameos are cool. and in the other hand they should be banned by law. sometimes they work well. sometimes they became burden.

It didn't hurt the film.
It is just...odd!
