“If it’s Exorcist: The Beginning… let’s get some background on Pazuzu! What’s he up to? What was his deal?” - Steve
On this episode, the 2023 Halloween Spooktacular continues with a convo about the stunningly terrible prequel Exorcist: The Beginning! How bad are all these CGI landscapes? Why did they think an Exorcist film needed so many extreme gore-hound moments? Was that side-boob necessary? And really, Morgan Creek should have let Schrader finish his film with an appropriate budget and called it a day! PLUS: Your ears are not ready for the “Tubular Bells” knock-off at the end…
Exorcist: The Beginning stars Stellan Skarsgård, Izabella Scorpio, James D’Arcy, Remy Sweeney, Julian Wadham, Andrew French, Ralph Brown, Ben Cross, Alan Ford, Eddie Osei, and David Bradley as Father Gionetti; directed by Renny Harlin.
