Copeland Bewitched Between Lions Sister, Sister Paid Program viewed theology and adolescent sexuality with an equal amount of horror and awe. "The Exorcist" may have been a better-written novel than another paperback best-seller of the pe-riod, "The Godfather," but Fried-kin performed a simjlar alchemy to that of Francis Ford Coppola: He took a good, pulpy read and turned it into a great, enduring movie. The new version improves on the original only technically; the Dolby remix of the sound (which won an Oscar in its original two-track state) makes the experience even more intense, if you can imagine that. The added scenes, which will already be familiar to those who have seen the various video and DVD editions (a new DVD of this version is due early next year), are a mixed bag. A scene in which Regan (Linda Blair) does a backhand spider walk down a stairwell is impressively disturbing, especially considering the relatively primitive state of special effects in the early 70s.

The extended ending, on the other hand, was correctly excised from the original; it takes the chill off, which does "The Exorcist" no favors. In the end, it's like adding a drop of sugar to the toughest of tequilas. "The Exorcist" may be undilutable.

The response to the new version of the horror-thriller, which adds some 11 minutes to director William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's novel of a young girl seemingly possessed by the devil, had studio heads turning 3(i0 degrees. So last Friday, it was released in 664 theaters in the United States and CBS Morning GS Una (CC) 64523) Newt 63981 Gill perlorms; Ray Romano, (cc) 91252 Night Court the New Explorers 635225 Northern ExposureJTO784 Simon, Simon earned more than $8 million, just a fraction less than the week's leader, "Urban Legends: The Final Cut." There is some irony in the fact that "The Exorcist" was itself inspired by an urban legend, a story Blatty heard as a student at Georgetown University in the early '50s. Blatty changed the sex of the child allegedly purged of demons by a Catholic priest from male to female, and turned the tale into a best-selling novel that jangerous Mission" fj 986165 I 780078 She I 'Compi AM at BET Eddie Long K.
