Jo is turning her passion for film and TV into a new screenwriting career and has some fascinating insights she's excited to share.
First released in 1973 and based on the novel by William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist has to be one of the most controversial horror films of all time. The eternal battle between good and evil is a primordial connection between every living being on earth, which is why it holds such a deep fascination for creators and audiences alike.
"There have been some really great PG-13 horror movies made, but sadly, The Possession is not one of them." Unusually, The Exorcist ended up with two prequels that were both released by Warner Bros. within a year of each other, the other being Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. What's sad is that the story of how this came about is much more interesting than either of the movies, though the latter is slightly less offensive to fans of the franchise.
The story limps along without really ever living up to the dark and moody visuals and the exposition is cringe worthy. The release of Lost Souls was delayed due to a spate of similar apocalyptic films, and it ended up being put out the exact same day as the re-release of The Exorcist. Whether this was planned or just a spooky coincidence, it did not do the movie any favors, as it does not hold a candle to Friedkin's offering.
