What do I mean? Does this sound like a good idea to you? Shit actors, low budget, not even a dvd release? Need I go on? I don't want to get into the whole remake thing, not only do I detest them on a whole, but a mini series is just an insult. In no way shape or form can anything ever touch this film, it's the best combination of actors, directors and writers ever known to man.

they already remade this movie but you know this!
it didn't compare to the orignal though!

I ain't even seen this adaptation, but on paper it sounds so wrong. I'll be prepared to eat my hat, if somebody says otherwise. But you've got to agree, this sounds almost nightmare-ish.

You see the thing is, I don't even mind sequels. They can do as many sequels as they like for me, as long as they keep with the feel of the original and they keep a few of the same actors. Like hellraiser for instance, 8 films on and doug bradley is still scaring the bejeejus out of us!

Oh right, so you can get it on DVD. If you wanted to!

oh god, I heard they did the same with carrie too, but hey, going slightly off topic here.

Back to exorcist, yeah I've got to say I prefer it to the beginning, or am I opening up yet another can of worms?

Ah yes, I'd heard of this but not had chance to see it. Isn't this supposed to be what the beginning should have been, if they had a decent director or something? I ain't quite understood it yet.
