#78 THE EXORCIST III (1990)
OLD LADY CRAWLS
ON THE CEILING LIKE A SPIDER
The
Exorcist III is an impressively scary film that had to fight through
the stink of Exorcist II: The Heretic to get any kind of decent
critical acclaim. Original Exorcist author wrote and directed this
film with amazing results. As George C. Scott makes his way through
an asylum in the middle of the film, a possessed old lady scurries
across the ceiling like a spider, unseen by anyone. The bizarre
agility the frail woman demonstrates as the skitters about is eerie,
and comes out of nowhere as a complete scary surprise.
