I'm watching The Exorcist did you ever read the book? I remember I read it in 4th grade, what a book for a 4th grader to read ,but ,I was a good read back then. now, I do read but not as much as I like to. Any ways what did 0, as we all know books and movies tell a different story ,part 2 was a disaster, but how would you think about a remake of The Exorcist?

I own both the book and the original movie, but I don't remember them in enough detail for a comparison between the two.

I wasn't too impressed with the sequels and I haven't seen the most recent one, Dominion.

There has been word of a new mini-series being made, but I haven't heard any significant updates in a while.

The Exorcist III is one of the best horror sequels I've seen.

No, The Exorcist is fine just the way it is. The way Hollywood is so PC today they would tone it way down.

I remember I read the book years ago, in 1973 when the movie came out. I never saw the movie though.
