Seriously scary in a few spots, but dry and overly verbose for the most part.

Terrific film version of writer-director Blatty's novel, Legion. Great George C. Scott performance.

Amazing! A sequel that stands on its own and still creeps me out at times.

If only Blatty would be given the director's chair more often, we would have a lot more truly terrifying movies to choose from.

Written and directed by William Peter Blatty, author of the original Exorcist. So, while it's not quite as chilling as the first story, It is at least a quality sequel

Better than part two, and almost scary in one part.
