The Exorcist III was proposed for our Halloween programme by our member Carl Taylor as it is ‘seriously creepy and I’ve never seen it on the big screen. Sadly, it doesn’t get as much love as The Exorcist.’

The personal vision of William Peter Blatty (writer of William Friedkin’s original 1973 masterpiece), The Exorcist III is a hellish horror detective story that pairs thoughtful theological themes with scenes of sheer terror.

Fifteen years after the events of the first film, Lieutenant Kinderman (George C. Scott) investigates a series of horrific murders that follow the modus operandi of the notorious Gemini Killer… who died several years earlier in the electric chair. After his friend Father Dyer is murdered in his hospital bed, Kinderman’s investigations lead him to ‘Patient X’, a psychopath housed at the same hospital who claims to be the Gemini Killer, and who knows intimate crime scene details. Their encounter leads to a fiery climactic confrontation between the eternal forces of good and evil…

Please note, the screening on Wednesday 21 October is our free members’ screening (booking for this will open on Thursday 15 October at 18:00), whilst Monday 26 October is a regular screening, which is open to the general public.
