Podcasts about Friedkin

Die 1970er-Jahre sind in der Kinogeschichte ein besonderes Jahrzehnt: Mit #NewHollywood geschieht in der Traumfabrik etwas Neues, man verlässt die Studios, verzichtet auf Pomp und Glamour, und geht hinaus auf die Straße, in den Dreck, in den Morast. #WilliamFriedkin zeigt uns in seinem Klassiker „French Connection - BrennpunktBrooklyn“ Bilder einer schroffen, abweisenden Wirklichkeit. Fast meint man, diese Stadt riechen zu können – und diese Stadt stinkt. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Polizist Jimmy „Popeye“ Doyle, gespielt von #GeneHackman, der von seinem Beruf besessen ist, wenngleich unklar bleibt, warum eigentlich. Doyle ist keine sympathische Figur, aber die Gesellschaft, in der Doyle lebt, ist es auch nicht. Von Marseille aus werden im großen Stil Drogen nach Brooklyn geschmuggelt, dahinter steckt Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey), der eher an einen Konzernmanager als an einen Verbrecher erinnert. Doch spätestens seit I CARE A LOT wissen wir, wie nahe sich die Welt der Konzerne und die Welt des organisierten Verbrechens stehen. „French Connection“ legt aber den Fokus auf die Polizeiarbeit und zeigt mit beeindruckenden Mitteln, wie undemokratisch die Polizei in Demokratien mitunter agiert. Ein Thema, das Friedkin in „Crusing“ und in „Leben und Sterben in L.A.“ wieder aufgreifen wird. Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a very culturally edgy producer, screenwriter, and director of film, television, and opera who was closely identified with the "New Hollywood" movement of the 1970s... William Friedkin! Inspired by Citizen Cane as a child, he threw away his "bad boy" ways from high school and began his career in media by working for his local news station at 16, moving onto directing a live television series and docuseries, The People versus Paul Crump (1962). From there he went on to direct an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and then his first feature, Good Times (1967) staring Sonny Bono and Cher. Friedkin would go on to make a fantastic crime thriller, The French Connection (1971), which would then win him five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. He is also well known for his Academy Award nominated film The Exorcist (1973) and other films spanning multiple other genres like The Boys in the Band (1970), Sorcerer (1977), The Brink's Job (1978), Cruising (1980), To Live and Die in L.A. (1985.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

On today's show, I'm joined once again by the Concessions gang as we make a dangerous trek through existentialist hell in two classic nail-biter thrillers: The Wages of Fear by Clouzot and Sorcerer by Friedkin. We talk about how the films tackle similar themes and material while remaining distinct, the social and political implications of each, and how the promise of money can drive a man to his absolute limit. Was it all worth it?

This week Eden and Peter dive into William Friedkin's gritty 1977 thriller Sorcerer, a tense and sweat-soaked remake of The Wages of Fear. They talk through the film's nihilistic worldview, Friedkin's unrelenting direction, and Tangerine Dream's eerie score that pushes the movie into fever-dream territory. Along the way, they share personal stories of how the film lingered in memory for decades, debate whether Sorcerer deserved its original flop status, and marvel at the sheer intensity of the bridge sequence. They also connect the film to broader cultural legacies—from the shadow of Star Wars to the way cult classics find redemption years later.Show NotesOpening catch-upSummer weather updates and life events.Peter finishes Donkey Kong Bonanza and shares thoughts on Taskmaster series 7 vs 8.Music chat: new Deftones (Private Music), Testament's upcoming Parabellum, and the death of Mastodon's Brett Hinds.Work & reading tangents Eden's deep dive into accessibility struggles with LaTeX, Pandoc, and PDFs (“the world's worst file format”).Reading The Apothecary Diaries and Azumanga Daioh; comparisons with Nichijo and City.Listening to Tangerine Dream's catalog and soundtrack prep for the film.Imperfect Practice launch Peter introduces his new blog and YouTube channel, “Imperfect Practice,” focused on experiments with productivity, journaling, and workflows.Main Event: SorcererEden's blind pick, Peter's buried childhood memory of the Tangerine Dream LP, and initial impressions.Full plot breakdown with detailed discussion of:The four opening vignettes.Building the trucks and loading unstable dynamite.The infamous 12-minute bridge sequence.The brutal downer ending and themes of fate and nihilism.Discussion of the title Sorcerer (why it's terrible, Friedkin's explanation).Behind-the-scenes misery, budget overruns, and authenticity (actors did most of their own stunts).The soundtrack's role in creating alienation and tension.Release woes: arriving weeks after Star Wars and being critically panned before decades-later reevaluation into cult-classic canon.Wrap-up Reflections on its heavy but unforgettable impact.LinksImperfect PracticeImperfect Practice on YouTube

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WHICH WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  TGTPTU returns to its regularly scheduled Squib Games (S15) with the earlier of its latest temporal pincer movement pairing, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA (1985).  Directed by William Friedkin, this is another Big Willie movie but not a Wyler: the second William has the credited surname of Peterson and this is his first film. William Peterson was so new to film acting that he called his fellow Chicagoan thespian buddy John Malkovich to see what he should quote as his asking price to play the lead character of Richard Chance, a thrill-seeking Secret Service agent who'll lose his partner only days from retirement (red-shirted partner's, not Chance's) and will get a new partner in John Pankow's Agent John Vukovich to pervert in his (Chance's) vengeful pursuit of a counterfeiter played by Willem Dafoe. (Next year Peterson would play another officer of the law in Manhunter as covered during TGTPTU's Mann Aged Season {S5,E5}; as an EPISODE CORRECTION Pankow did not portray Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Miloš Forman's film Amadeus but had done so at the Broadhurst Theatre, replacing Tim Curry.)  Because it's a Friedkin flick, there's an epic car chase meant to top The French Connection; because it's shot from a Friedkin script (adapted from a novel by former Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich, who receives a cowriting credit), there was a lot of improvisation on set driven by the actors, with both the ending and opening scenes re/written during shooting. Mentioning actors, the film is stacked with supporting roles by Dean Stockwell, John Turturro (who'll get more mention later in Season 15), and the Michael Mann-created film noir for television Crime Story's very own Darlanne Fluegel (listen back to S5,E6 for insights on this TV series).   TGTPTU hosts become split on the merits of the film. Thomas describes the movie as The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) on neon cocaine, but—no spoilers—you'll have to listen to the ep for whether he believes this is a good thing. Also, Jack lets out the three-legged dog and Ryan, while finding it impossible to resist singing the title, has issue with William Pederson. Ken convinces everyone to Wang Chung tonight.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Retour sur l'histoire mouvementée d'un film rare et méconnu : Le Sang du châtiment (Rampage), réalisé par William Friedkin. Inspiré d'un fait divers glaçant, ce polar sombre interroge les frontières entre justice et vengeance, entre loi et morale, avec un sens du malaise dont seul Friedkin a le secret.- Pourquoi ce film, tourné en 1987, a-t-il dormi des années sur une étagère avant de sortir en 1992 dans une version remaniée ?- Comment Friedkin a-t-il travaillé la tension psychologique tout en évitant les codes faciles du film de serial killer ?- Quelle place ce long-métrage occupe-t-il dans la carrière d'un cinéaste obsédé par la violence et ses zones grises ?Des coulisses d'un tournage discret aux batailles juridiques et artistiques qui ont façonné son destin, nous explorons l'histoire tourmentée de ce film quasi invisible, ses influences, et les choix narratifs qui le rendent si singulier.

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the legendary host of INCREMENT VICE - Travis Woods - break the balls of the Criterion 4K release of what he argues is perhaps the greatest movie of the 1970s, and therefore one of the greatest movies ever, William Friedkin's SORCERER.SorcererA hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognised decades later as one of the New Hollywood's boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack approved by director William Friedkin, and alternate original theatrical 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresFriedkin Uncut (2018), a documentary by Francesco Zippel featuring interviews with Friedkin, screenwriter Walon Green, filmmakers Wes Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola, and othersNew conversation between filmmaker James Gray and film critic Sean FennesseyConversation from 2015 between Friedkin and filmmaker Nicolas Winding RefnArchival audio interviews with Green and editor Bud Smith, from the collection of Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, author of William Friedkin (2003)Behind-the-scenes footageTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Justin ChangNew cover by Nessim HigsonTravis Woods (Host of INCREMENT VICE)Travis Woods is a Contributing Editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room, as well as a writer for The New Beverly Cinema and Cinephilia & Beyond.No Way To Managua: Bridging the Forces of Fate and Identity in William Friedkin's SorcererSupport: JOIN THE ONE HEAT MINUTE PATREON FOR AS LITTLE AS $1 A MONTHFollow the hosts:Blake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & The Last Video StoreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As our Pride series continues we drop the first 99 Cent Rental episode looking at the extremely complicated history of William Friedkin's gay leather giallo Americano, Cruising (1980), starring Al Pacino. Dave's research and history expertise about this period of urban gay culture comes in handy as we contrast Friedkin's attempt to provoke and shock against the reality of gay night life at leather bars, BDSM bars, and the cruising scene in the days before apps and the internet made casual encounters in the park obsolete. We also look at the organized movements to protest Cruising and convince theaters not to show the movie, explore whether or not Friedkin was exploiting the gay BDSM scene for cheap shocks, and whether or not this is a good movie. Did Cruising do more harm than good? Does it get anything right? The answer, as always, is: it's complicated.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

After a longer than expected Spring hiatus, The Film '89 Podcast is back and on Episode 134, returning co-hosts Matthias Van De Roest and Bill Scurry join Steve and Skye to celebrate the 40th anniversary of acclaimed director William Friedkin's 1985 crime drama To Live and Die in L.A. Something of a return to form for Friedkin after a number of critical and commercial failures, the film would tap into the same gritty police procedural approach that made his 1971 masterpiece The French Connection so successful. Starring William Petersen, John Pankow, Debra Feuer, Darlanne Fluegel, Dean Stockwell, John Turturro and featuring a brilliantly threatening turn from Willem Dafoe as counterfeiter Eric Masters, To Live and Die in L.A. also features gorgeous cinematography by Robby Müller and a stunning new wave soundtrack by Wang Chung. As well as giving their usual in-depth analysis, the guys also dig into the making of the film, paying particular attention to its incredible car chase sequence. So fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight as the Film '89 team explore one of the quintessential crime dramas of not just the 1980s, but any decade.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta Jerry Hartfield is the producer of Grave Encounters, a reality television program directed by ghost hunter Lance Preston. Hartfield explains that the show was canceled after five episodes following the crew's disappearance and presents raw scenes from recovered footage of the sixth and final episode. The Grave Encounters crew consists of Lance, occult specialist Sasha Parker, surveillance operator Matt White, cameraman T.C. Gibson, and fake medium Houston Grey. The crew is invited to examine the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena have been reported for years. Kenny, the hospital's caretaker, takes the crew on a day tour and informs them of the hospital's history, particularly of a doctor named Arthur Friedkin, who performed unethical experiments and lobotomies on the hospital's patients before being killed by them. The crew lock themselves inside the hospital for the night and began their investigation, setting up camp near the main entrance and positioning static cameras throughout the building. No paranormal activity seems to occur within the first few hours until T.C. captures a door slamming behind him. The crew attempts to establish contact with the invisible entities responsible for this demonstration, and the incidents soon become more flagrant and hostile. The crew begins to repack in preparation for the Kenny's return. Matt sets out alone to retrieve the static cameras, but suddenly disappears. When neither Matt or Kenny return, the crew forces the front doors open, but discover that they lead to another hallway, as well as to other false exits. The crew also notes that it is still nighttime outside the building when their clocks indicate that it is well past morning. In their continued search for Matt and an exit, the crew encounters a girl whose face demonically distorts. As the crew flees in fear, Houston is separated from the others and is strangled to death by an invisible force. When the crew catch their breath, they discover that they have been fitted with hospital identification bracelets bearing their names. The crew eventually find Matt, wearing a hospital gown and having gone mad; he mumbles nonsense about his apparent mental disorders, and explains that the only means of escape is to be "cured" by the hospital's residents. T.C. is pulled into a blood-filled bathtub by a ghost and disappears, while Matt throws himself down an elevator shaft as Lance and Sasha are attacked by a demon. Lance and Sasha enter the tunnels in search of an exit. Sasha falls ill and is abducted by a mist as she and Lance sleep. The terrified and unstable Lance wanders the tunnels alone and feeds on live rats to survive. He finds a door leading into Friedkin's operating room, which contains an altar and evidence of satanic rituals and black magic. He turns to see the apparitions of Friedkin and several nurses, who drag the screaming Lance to an operating table. The camera cuts out for a few moments before it is turned back on by a lobotomized Lance,[2] who proclaims that he is cured and allowed to leave.

Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy! Please, we implore you: get happy already! For this episode we train our gaze at William Friedkin's minor masterpiece, The Boys in the Band. Although it is a landmark film in queer cinema, Boys has by now acquired a rather tricky reputation and we dig right into that. We laugh and cry along with these characters as they navigate the vagaries of identity and performative friendship. Topics include: comparisons to the Netflix version, Leonard Frey's stunning performance, and Friedkin's relationship to masculinity.

Yup We went there. Again. One of the most controversial (and more relevant today than ever) movies of all time. Ken Russell's 1971 epic, The Devils is the movie this week. Plus musical guest, Ancestor Of Kaos appears courtesy HorrorPainGoreDeath.com

Just squeezing today's episode under 90 minutes, but it is BURSTING with information and entertainment!

Mostly you'll learn what is the difference between a whoosh-whoosh and pew-pew gun, and how we feel about Ken's current relationship with Friedkin. So enjoy, we certainly did.

Episode 397 - That's A Friedkin Novel Idea You wanna know the one good thing about demon possession? You're never alone. Even when you've been completely abandoned by everyone else, you can always count on your demon to crack a classic "yo mama" joke, or to help motivate you to get a little exercise, or exorcise. Unfortunately, this week Jim found himself alone in the studio without so much as a mischievous imp to keep him company. So grab beer, grab your bible, and join him for a discussion that will have your head spinning. Cheers!!

A reckless, thrill-seeking federal cop whose partner is "getting too old for this

Welcome back to Watch With Jen. Just in time for the fifth anniversary of the podcast (which officially began on March 3, 2020), I'm releasing the first of at least a two-part episode devoted to L.A. Movies. Like everyone else, I watched in horror as the Santa Ana wind wildfires ripped through a city that I dearly love at the start of 2025. Unable to contribute financially to the many worthy charities and Go Fund Me accounts that were launched in its wake, nor volunteer on the ground from where I live in Phoenix, I figured the next best thing that I could do was to pay tribute to some of the wonderfully rich, diverse, & creatively inspiring films that have been made in the city. My earnest hope is that it might inspire more productions to shoot there in the future (which would bring necessary jobs back to L.A.) and also to give listeners a nice little reprieve from the stresses of this impossibly difficult year. Each week has felt like its own horror movie for so many people in my orbit, including myself. Our inaugural episode for season six features a staggeringly great lineup of artists & film minds. You'll hear from CALIFORNIA BEAR author Duane Swierczynski on JACKIE BROWN, Senior Vice President of The Black List Kate Hagen on MIRACLE MILE, film critic and UC Denver professor Walter Chaw on THE DRIVER & HICKEY & BOGGS, and WHO INVITED THEM filmmaker and author Duncan Birmingham on SWINGERS. A feature length tour of Los Angeles in the movies, I hope you enjoy the launch of Season 6. And as we head into my favorite season, perhaps it'll inspire you to get ready to visit the City of Angels again or at the very least, eagerly anticipate the second part of these talks which wander into Lynchian and Friedkin territory. Thank you so much for joining me these past five years; we'll be hitting the 250th episode of the podcast this season which is mind-boggling to me & I couldn't do it without your support.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/3/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/123479696Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop (+ Direct Link to the Mug) Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi

Welcome back to The Video Store Podcast. This week, I've curated a lineup of films that capture different aspects of Los Angeles: its humor, its struggles, its danger, and its intrigue. Whether you're a longtime fan of these movies or discovering them for the first time, I think they're worth your time. Here's what we're watching this week:L.A. Story (1991)Steve Martin stars in and wrote this quirky romantic comedy that doubles as a love letter to Los Angeles. It's full of surreal humor, like talking freeway signs, and it pokes fun at the city's obsession with image and trends. But it's also heartfelt, exploring how we connect with others in a place that can feel isolating. Keep an eye out for some great cameos, including Patrick Stewart as a hilariously serious maître d'. The film was shot all around L.A., including Griffith Park and Venice Beach, which really adds to its sense of place.Born in East L.A. (1987)Cheech Marin wrote, directed, and stars in this comedy about a Mexican-American man who gets mistakenly deported to Mexico. It's packed with laughs, but it also has a lot of heart as it explores cultural misunderstandings. Make sure to check out Paul Rodriguez and Daniel Stern both have memorable roles here, adding to the film's charm.To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)If you're into crime thrillers, this one's a must. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), it's a gritty and intense look at the darker side of Los Angeles. The film follows a Secret Service agent, played by William Petersen, as he becomes obsessed with catching a counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe). Friedkin's commitment to authenticity shows, especially in the car chases, which are some of the best ever put on film. The movie also features an amazing soundtrack by Wang Chung, which perfectly complements its tense, stylish vibe.L.A. Confidential (1997)Curtis Hanson's neo-noir is a masterpiece. Set in the 1950s, it dives into corruption, scandal, and ambition within the LAPD. The ensemble cast, including Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, and Russell Crowe, delivers some of their best work. Basinger even won an Oscar for her performance. The screenplay, co-written by Hanson and Brian Helgeland, is a brilliant adaptation of James Ellroy's novel. The production design and costumes perfectly recreate the glamour and grit of post-war Los Angeles, making it as visually striking as it is narratively gripping.That's the lineup for this week. Each of these films captures something unique about Los Angeles, from its humor and charm to its danger and complexity. If you decide to check out any of these, let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by The Video Store Podcast, and we'll see you next time with more movies to add to your watchlist. This is a public episode.

Hello Rank Squad!We talk a lot about the teams who are outdoing themselves, playing above their means, and taking their rightful flowers for their performances, but there's two sides to every coin. For every Bournemouth, there's a West Ham; for every Mainz, a Borussia Dortmund; and every Athletic Club, a Real Betis. We break down the teams who have struggled to meet their expectations across the course of this season - those who have flattered to deceive, those who have fallen well short of their pre-season expectations, and those who have been forced to reconsider their course midway through the campaign. Before that, there's time to look at a few more things going on in Europe - the resurgence of Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid form and the fact that all three of the 'Tres Grandes' of Portugal - Sporting, Benfica and Porto - have now changed coaches in the same season for the first time in history. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

 This week on Season 20, "What The Folk!?", we look at what is only a brief appearance but possibly the coolest looking Satan ever caught on film, a classic Christopher Lee performance, and ultimately one of Hammer's best films.

Introduction   The exorcism genre holds a unique place in horror, often drawing on themes of innocence, spiritual warfare, and patriarchal power structures. While its narratives are typically formulaic, revolving around a “possessed” figure (often a young girl) and priests arriving to cast out the demon, the genre also reflects broader societal anxieties about bodily autonomy, religious authority, and family dynamics. Many exorcism films lean heavily on cultural tropes, with a few standing out for their engagement with more complex themes or departures from genre norms.    Today, we'll explore five significant exorcism films, from iconic classics to new interpretations, analyzing how each interacts with the genre's conventions and challenges them to varying degrees. Here's our list:   The Exorcist  William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973) is the foundational work of exorcism horror, causing a stir for its visceral portrayal of demonic possession and controversial religious imagery. The infamous production faced numerous setbacks, often seen as reflecting the turmoil depicted onscreen. This film's critical reception and lasting impact reveal how effectively it tapped into societal anxieties of the 1970s.     Exorcist III Written and directed by The Exorcist author William Peter Blatty, Exorcist III (1990) continues the narrative with a fresh perspective, emphasizing psychological horror over shock value. Blatty's direction draws on philosophical themes, creating one of the genre's most introspective entries. Many consider it a more layered and, in some ways, superior work to Friedkin's original. The Exorcism of Emily Rose  The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) marks a genre revival that experiments with the "based on a true story" approach. This film combines courtroom drama with horror, exploring themes of faith, science, and institutional power. It questions societal definitions of sanity and the legitimacy of religious experiences in a secular world, creating a nuanced discussion on mental health and belief.   Late Night with the Devil The newest on our list, Late Night with the Devil (2023), departs from genre norms by framing possession within the setting of a fictional 1970s talk show. This film is a genre-bending take, blending exorcism horror with cultural satire on sensationalized media, reminiscent of the era's late-night television programming. It plays with the exorcism format while commenting on the media as a modern “exorcist,” claiming to expose dark secrets.   Il Demonio (The Demon) As one of the earliest entries in exorcism horror, Il Demonio (1963) is an Italian film often overlooked. It visualizes the exorcism genre's gendered dynamics, with a narrative that intersects spousal abuse, mental illness, and patriarchal control. The film uses demonic possession as a metaphor for the internalized violence faced by women under societal and marital oppression, offering a critical lens on traditional power structures.   These films offer a window into not only horror but broader social and cultural anxieties. Each one engages with themes of power, authority, and the societal “other,” reminding us of the genre's unique capacity to critique and unsettle dominant narratives.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
