WILLIAM PETER BLATTY (1928-2017)
THE EXORCIST 3:30, 8:15
A young girl demonically possessed sets the stage for this raw, deadly serious and intelligent look at both the spiritual and sociological aspects of faith. As directed by William Friedkin, this bone-chilling masterpiece brought horror to another level via its expert cast and a meticulous attention to detail. Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max Von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb and Linda Blair star; William Peter Blatty adapted the Oscar-winning screenplay from his novel. (1973, 132 min - Director’s cut, DCP)
+ THE NINTH CONFIGURATION (aka Twinkle, Twinkle, “Killer” Kane) 6:00
In Blatty’s adaptation of his novel, Stacy Keach is Kane, the new commanding officer at a remote castle serving as a military asylum where he attempts to rehabilitate the soldiers, namely the troubled astronaut Cutshaw (Scott Wilson.) "A breathtaking cocktail of philosophy, eye-popping visuals, jaw-dropping pretentiousness, rib-tickling humour and heart-stopping action…Blatty directs like a man with no understanding of, or interest in, the supposed limits of mainstream movie-making.” -Mark Kermode (1979, 118 min, 35mm ‘Scope)
