The Exorcist - Theatrical & Extended Director's Cut (4K Ultra HD) [UHD] [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Movie looks great in 4k remastered a classic movie it is lacking with the special features but everything else is perfect worth the pick up

Very good movie, I'm glad they released it in 4K format, since the scenes are better seen and the sound is excellent.

The movie is great. You already know that. It's the horror film to which all others are compared. The transfer is also great. Until the last 15 minutes. I love Friedkin and I certainly grant that he has earned the right to do whatever he wants with subsequent editions of the films he has directed, but I'd call the desaturated and apparently resaturated business in the final act a failed experiment that appears even more egregious in light of how natural and period-appropriate the rest of the film looks. The inclusion of the mono track goes a long way towards mitigating my disappointment with the choices made in the color timing of that final bit, however, and does through two speakers what the newer remix can't do with 7.1: it gets under your skin without being distracting- I have no idea where the 28 mph winds are coming from in Reagan's bedroom on the 7.1. Choose the mono and rest easy. All of this said, this was Friedkin's final sign-off on how this film should look before he passed. I give it respect for that reason and I'm guessing this will be it for how this title is going to look and sound for the foreseeable future. If you're 4k capable, it's more than worth it. But it could have been transcendent.

I have had a dvd copy of this movie for about 15 years and felt that it was time to upgrade to 4k, and i am completely satisfied with the transfer. For those who know the movie you will not be disappointed with how it looks, plus you get two versions on 4k which was a nice suprise. If you have not seen this movie yet and you are a fan of the horror genre I highly recommend checking it out.

The Exorcist has never looked better. I've seen it many times over the years in many formats and this 4k version is probably the best it will ever look. The gruff look of older movies are part of their charm and 4k surprisingly can remove a little of that character at times. The Exorcist as a whole isn't the exception to the rule but the presentation is excellent nonetheless. The audio is top notch as well.
