Weak Priest Saves Girl

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2003)

I never saw the this film when it was released many years ago but decided to watch it since this was the version that had never been seen before. I remember many years ago of my friends telling me how scary this film was. A girl that can turn her head around and vomit green stuff. By today's standards this film was not as scary but the girl running down the stairs backwards on all fours like a beetle was interesting. However, Father Karros was a rather pathetic character. It is hard to believe that the demon would choose to take his body over the girls. There was an opening story involving Father Merrin, the real Exorcist in the desert but I cannot figure out what was the point except to introduce a statue of the demon. Overall, it was a fair movie but certainly not a classic demon picture.
