Like you, Jack, I am a big admirer of the original Exorcist film. And I agree with you that -- for Green and Sattler -- there certainly must have existed a misunderstanding of the original material. This movie felt cheap. Burstyn and Blair were used like inexpensive props -- which was so insulting. I counted three moments that almost forced me to leave the theatre, but I'm a tireless optimist. Here's to hoping that the next two installments (if they get the green light) salvage this dreadful picture. I say this not intending to demean the hard work of moviemaking.
