Hey folks, Harry here with some hopeful news regarding Paul Schrader and his film, EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING. Now - the shitball film directed by Renny "TB-hack hack hack" Harlin was shoved down our throats domestically... despite the fact it had terrible character work, mediocre story technique... but a few moments of scares. Evidently Schrader's version was shelved due to it being a quality film without a ton of cheap jump scares. Cuz god forbid a director make a real movie. I mean, Billy Friedkin's original was such a scare-fest from beginning to end. That Schrader's film is being screened at Brussels Fantastic Film Festival means a couple of things. One: There's a film print that can be screened. This is extremely good news. Two: It can be seen. Originally we were told we'd be getting this film on DVD joined at the broken hip of Harlin's. Perhaps if word is solid on Schrader's version... we can do better than that!
Hey Harry,
Deep Red here. According to the BBC, looks like some lucky people will finally be able to see the real Exorcist IV:
Hope we all get a chance to see it! So long as our legs don't go broke on us... ;-)
Deep Red
