TWO CUTS OF EXORCIST II, EXORCIST III IN 4K,

There’s no such thing as preparing too soon for the spooky season. While the UK is baking in a heatwave, I’m already getting my Halloween movie schedule in order. As ever, Arrow Video has another fantastic lineup of high-quality frights with new remastered editions, limited editions, and some true cult classics. Joining the ranks of Arrow’s previous stunning horror limited editions The Exorcist II: The Heretic, from John Boorman, the director of Point Blank and Deliverance.

This visionary metaphysical thriller confounded audience expectation by delivering something unique and entirely unexpected. With an all-star cast including Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, and Richard Burton, sublime cinematography, and a standout score from legendary composer Ennio Morricone, Exorcist II: The Heretic is a daring vision, packed with the kind of bold ideas and extraordinary images that Boorman would also explore in Zardoz and Excalibur. The two disc Limited Edition Blu-ray includes two cuts of the film, new commentaries as well as a collector’s booklet and reversible sleeve.

Arrow is also releasing The Exorcist III, the true heir to William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin’s 1973 masterpiece. A hellish horror detective story that pairs thoughtful theological themes with scenes of sheer terror, the film is the personal vision of Blatty (the acclaimed author of The Exorcist), and stars George C. Scott (The Changeling), Jason Miller (The Ninth Configuration) and Brad Dourif (Dune). Boasting some of modern horror’s most unforgettable scares, Blatty’s film is presented here in both its original theatrical cut and the Legion director’s cut. Available on Limited Edition 4K UHD, the two disc edition is loaded with extras, including an in-depth documentary, as well as a reversible sleeve and illustrated collector’s booklet. There is also an Original Artwork 4K edition.
