I finally got around to watching The Exorcist last night. Some foul mouth on that young one.

Top film, probably the best horror out there, not for jump scares though, slow burning atmosphere throughout.

The Exorcist 3 is far superior to the original and probably the last good horror film that was made.

Obviously taste is subjective but I couldnt disagree more on both counts

I'd probably rank The Exorcist as my top horror too. But 3 mentioned in the same breath as the original? Not for me.

So you are saying there hasn't been 1 good horror film since the exorcist 3.
Stop talking shit.

Was never a fan of the Exorcist. Among the infamous "banned in Ireland" movies, it was a major disappointment when I finally saw it, unlike A Clockwork Orange, for example. I've always been in the The Omen > The Exorcist group.

Go ahead and name a horror film that has been good since the Exorcist 3. Anyone into horror knows the golden age was the 70's and 80's and please don't come back with some crap like the Conjuring or Ring or any of that shit.

Amazing performances from George C. Scott and Brad Dourif. A great plot and it contains one of the greatest horror film scenes of all time. I was shocked at how good it was after how bad Exorcist 2 was.

Just like Black Shepherd I was underwhelmed by the original had heard so much about it before I saw it only to be let down. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed but it's overrated and yes I agree the Omen is the better film. The Omen sequels are not great.

I love the 3 Omen movies. I even have a lot of time for 3 😲

I laughed at most of The Exorcist the first time I saw it (as a teenager, when it was still banned), it was only years later that I rewatched it and properly enjoyed it. III is definitely decent, but I'd prefer the first one (though I'd also prefer The Omen). II is shite and I haven't seen either version of the prequel properly (which version is the one to go for, incidentally?).

I'm more of a The Passion of St. Tibulus man myself.

The Omen sequels are ok and worth a watch just not classic and can't touch the first one. They were on sky a lot in the run up to Christmas last year. I have DVD box at home as well from years ago that turns into a cross when you open it out. Have never seen 4 and I don't have much interest in seeing it.

What are the Omen prequels? All I am aware of is 1-4, 4 has a girl instead of a boy then I think a remake from about 10 years ago which I never bothered with.

Candyman was the first to come to mind since it was just mentioned. Martyrs, Them, It, Event Horizon...

I don't rate any of those other then IT assuming you mean the TV movie which came out the same year as the Exorcist 3. Candyman is on par with the Nightmare of Elm Street sequels / Childs Play etc.  I didn't even enjoy that film as a child.

Inside (the French film)
Event horizon.
The witch.
The Blair Witch project.
Candyman.
The silence of the lambs.
In the mouth of madness.
The faculty.
Sleepy hollow.
Scream.
Interview with the vampire.
Cronos.
There's a few for you and that's just of the top of my head.
But i guess you will just say you don't rate them either.
