Exorcist III is a favorite horror movie of mine. It’s slow, methodical and scarce in any actual horror set pieces. As RLM say in their review, we don’t really see much of the horror, but that just gets my imagination running and it helps build a dark and tense atmosphere.
Exorcist 3 is one of my favourite movies ever. It's just so good. Like I think objectively the Exorcist is the better film, but there's just so many aspects of the third one I adore. I too have never seen the second one and don't plan to.

Whereas that movie was a story about man discovering the goodness within himself, Exorcist III is about a man discovering the darkness within the entire world. It's an imperfect movie with some clunky editing and dialogue, but it's brilliantly scary, dark, terse and dreadful.
