The Exorcist [4K Ultra HD] [1973] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Platty’s story itself was taken from true stories of an actual exorcism that took place on young boy in 1949. Part of the film’s attraction and horror exists in this realism — these are real people, with normal lives, not monsters or aliens like your average horror film or fantasy film. It is a story that forces one to look inside oneself, question the world, and question faith. Widely regarded as a supernatural masterpiece, the film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director as well as acting nominations for Burstyn, Miller and Blair. The film won two Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Blatty. The Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs include both the 1973 theatrical version of the film and the 2000 Extended Director’s Cut of the film which features eleven additional minutes of footage not seen in theaters.

As it is a work holiday here today, there’s not a lot of official news to report. But we do have some significant 4K news from retail and other sources. The story of The Exorcist III takes place many years after the events of both the original novel and the film version of The Exorcist, ignoring Exorcist II: The Heretic completely. Lt. Kinderman (George C. Scott) and Father Dyer (Ed Flanders) have remained friends, but when a series of grisly murders begin occurring around the city, Kinderman believes it to be the work of someone who may be imitating the Gemini Killer, a man who was executed for his crimes fifteen years prior. Investigating further, he discovers a familiar face in a padded cell of a local psychiatric hospital, a man who looks like the long-dead Damien Karras (Jason Miller), but is inhabited by the spirit of the Gemini Killer (Brad Dourif).

Proving that the universe does indeed have a sense of humor, perhaps the biggest upgrade on this WB release is its audio options. The default on both In this new version, the differences mostly involve the scenes featuring the Gemini Killer, played by Brad Dourif. They were re-shot later on, including the ending, with Jason Miller, who portrayed Father Karras in the original film. The theatrical version features both Dourif and Miller in the same role, but originally, it was meant to only be Dourif.
