The Exorcist III (1990)

 A series of grisly murders baffles the police. An aging detective police Lieutenant investigates. Supernatural forces seem to be at play here.

There is some artfulness in the mise-en-scène of a few sequences, and the imagery throughout is appropriately ghastly. The idea of merging supernatural horror with the theme of serial killing is almost a natural one, but I am not aware of it having previously or subsequently been done. There is a lot of yelling in this film, and that is not a good thing. Also, a lot of the film is just static talk between the policeman and the suspect in a psychiatric prison cell. Well, I guess adding the ups and subtracting the downs the sum total is: watchable.
