Story Synopsis:
A tale of possession that shocked millions, The Exorcist won Academy Awards® for Best Adapted Screenplay and Sound. Regan (Blair), a 12 year-old girl is either suffering from a severe neurological disorder or, worse, has been possessed by an evil spirit. Chris (Burstyn), her desperate mother knows there is something deeper-more terrible-than what doctors and psychiatrists believe and seeks help from the doubtful, intelligent Father Karras (Miller) and the dedicated Jesuit exorcist, Father Merrin (von Sydow).
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced special edition DVD appears to be the same transfer as the anamorphically enhanced DVD reviewed in Issue 26. The DVD picture is sometimes natural with vibrant colors and natural fleshtones and other times plugged up with brownish fleshtones and undefined blacks. Images are sometimes extremely sharp and detailed, while other times wanting. The LaserDisc, while exhibiting slightly darker colors, is softly focused by comparison. The DVD’s shadow detail exhibits poor delineation, but when compared to the LaserDisc, is much better defined. Both versions exhibit background noise and artifacts, but the DVD is much more solid and is preferred. The LaserDisc, anamorphic and letterbox DVD aspect ratios measure 1.78:1.
Soundtrack:
The soundtracks on the Special Edition DVD and LaserDisc have been remastered and encoded in discrete 5.1 Dolby® Digital. The sound fidelity is, as on the previous DVD, extremely harsh and strident throughout. The prominent character is monaural, except for the music score and the occasional sound and dialogue effect. The matrix PCM version is preferred for its greater spatial dimension and subtle surround presence. Bass extension is deep, especially in certain scenes in which the discrete .1 LFE enhancement is engaged.
