Robert Sanchez at IESB.net writes of how a reader relayed to him the news that, at the recent International Horror and SciFi Film Festival in Tempe, Arizona, Linda Blair had mentioned a remake of The Exorcist was at hand, one of the highest grossing horror flicks of all time. Warner Brothers had produced a prequel a few years back that devolved into two projects, both with shabby results, according to Sanchez.
At the tender age of four and one-half and perhaps at odds with my father’s better judgment, I was in the theater with my folks for the theatrical release. Of course, I barely remember the cinematic experience (or I’ve repressed it), my father has recounted to me of how a woman bolted from that particular showing spewing forth her own vomitus- perhaps as a result to what she was viewing.
I doubt any remake could effect that kind of response today, given the profundity of entries into the film world that depict these kinds of things within the genre since then.
