WOW....from the looks of these messages, you guys just don't GET IT. This movie is based on the direct sequel to the original Exorcist, it's called "Legion". You would know the reference if you hadn't been snoring your way through the second half of the film. Karras's return is explained and quite believably I might add near the middle of the film by the doctor at the institution where he is being held, again I think people were catching some ZZZs here too...but I don't see how. The direction is wonderful, the story is CREEPY and George C. Scott and Brad Dourif (the voice of horror movies' "Chucky") are incredible. The end of the film (especially the catatonic woman) were scary and tense. Anyone who says that this is not a sequel is just hating and obviously is not a fan of the franchise or they would have followed it. But, I guess this film is not for everyone, it's a deep dialogue and character driven film, not one for the intellectually weak and ADHD people out there.
