Storyline

The Exorcist III (1990) follows Lieutenant William F. Kinderman as he investigates a series of gruesome murders that mirror the modus operandi of the deceased “Gemini Killer.” As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that supernatural forces connected to the original exorcism are at play, leading Kinderman to confront evil in both human and demonic forms.

Why It’s Our Vibe

Directed by William Peter Blatty, this sequel returns to psychological horror with a slow-burning tension rather than overt scares. George C. Scott delivers a commanding performance as Kinderman, and the film’s chilling atmosphere, clever twists, and spiritual themes make it a worthy, underrated continuation of the Exorcist saga.
