Legion blatty novel
Despite the removed footage from Legion not being found, in 2016, the company Scream Factory released a version of the film. When I first found out, like many fans, I wondered how the finished, original take on the film called Legion, would look like.
Each time I’ve seen the film since, it has only reinforced that opinion.Īt the time, I was unaware of what went on behind the scenes, of how Blatty was forced to make changes to his film, involving re-shoots and some changes in casting. Personally, while The Exorcist is certainly the better film overall, I think this part III was a scarier film. I saw it on its original release and loved it (Blatty writing and directing the film himself). As the investigation continues, he comes face to face with a hospital patient that looks like a man who died fifteen years earlier, performing an exorcism…īased on William Peter Blatty’s own follow up novel to The Exorcist, which was called Legion, The Exorcist III came out in 1990.
