A very classy radio adaptation of the novel best known for its legendary film adaptation... Lydia Wilson shines as the unfortunate Regan, but the Exorcist himself - father Merrin - is played by Ian McDiarmid...

After watching the clip for the new exorcist sequel I couldn’t resist listening again ! So much debate going on online Yet the fact it is being debated after 50 years to me shows what a phenomenal storytelling of possession & so much more ! Ty for this wonderful upload

The cast is really good - but in particular Father Merrin is played by Ian McDiarmid, best known to most people as Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars

The 70s film is a classic & this radio adaptation is very powerful I really appreciate this radio adaptation has covered more of the book eg the part about the detective looking more in-depth about the director death from Reagan window also the story of the house keepers & the detective relationship with the priest . The book covers so much in-depth aspects of medical research v theological perspective

The 1970’s original exorcist a phenomenal classic/ the 2023 follow up a muddled mess Ellen Burstyn gave perhaps the most "I'm here for a paycheck" performance I've ever seen.

Sad to hear that, have a lot of respect for Ms. Burstyn - but I guess at the age of 90 she's allowed to take it easy if she wants!

She asked them to increase their offer but the paycheck was actually to pay for a scholarship program. See recent interviews: "My price is a scholarship program for talented students at our master’s degree program at Pace University. That’s my price.” So I then went back and upped their up and ended up getting what I want. And I’ve got a scholarship program for young actors.”

Ellen's performance was the least problematic thing about that movie lol. Though yea her role def seemed an after thought and just a means to trick fans to show up. We get to expect two extra sequels planned no less.

It was WPB Writing & Oscar winning director William friekien that created the unique phenomenon the exorcist. WF was horrified by whom was directing the latest reboot! As he said it was done it’s perfection u can follow it / I wish they came up with original concepts

Legion is the correct following as it’s by the WPB & is incredible in its own right the mixture of humour & terror is well balanced

This was rather good. though I do miss the Mcainbridge demon voice, I think the way they went about it was effective.

This was a good production, but I don’t like a lot of the changes they made to the story. If you want to hear the best version, William Peter Beatty narrated the audiobook, it is amazing.
