With Dominion and The Beginning behind us (not to mention some colossal delays because of yours truly), we've come to the end of the Exorcist series. In some ways, I feels this may be one of the more divisive series as far as House of Sequels consensus goes. Some films that I thought would have been an easy perfect score (the original) didn't make it, and I totally cock blocked (to Maire and Salty's surprise) II from the dreaded shitpickle. That's what makes this series (and this project) so interesting, though.
We all get different things out of films. Some of us obsess over directors and camera angles. Some of us are obsessive gorehounds. Some of us love awful acting and cheap sets. And that's all ok. The beauty of horror is that we can all come together and discuss what we like, what we don't like, and the community is always better for the conversation.
The Exorcist series has everything. It has pure, classic horror. It has hokey 80's sentiments. It has beautiful characters that are in every film. And, it has shitpickles. But, the fact that 3 humble students of the craft can't come together and tell you which is the best is a testament to not only how diverse the series is, it's also a monument to how awesome the horror community as a whole can be.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat some pea soup.
