Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Just watched this. A very interesting film. I loved everything between Scott and Flanders and Douriff is great. That obviously carries much of the film. I think Blatty was obviously a very talented writer in a "true crime"/detective kind of way and it really shows out in a lot of the dialogue and story. Ultimately its not exactly my kind of thing and while the exorcism obviously feels very tacked on I'm not sure my opinion would change dramatically without it. I respect that Blatty went a totally different direction with it and appreciated a lot of it. But I think there's some pacing/storytelling issues that kind of make sense with "novelist turned director" and the detective thriller is less my thing. But a very interesting watch at the absolute worst and incredible performances from the cast (and directing/writing with all those little character touches).
