Speaking of Exorcist III, Shout Studios has the director's cut on its Youtube channel beginning Sunday.

I wonder if the film has her start as Julie Miller and reveals her as a Kinderman later on. Maybe the execution scene is a flashback. Either way, Flanagan is on record as thinking III is an underrated film.

That'd make sense--less so spoiling it in the trailer! I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember also thinking III was underrated. Blatty had a good sense for atmosphere and especially timing (that hospital sequence). The trailer for Flanagan's film seemed generic, tho'.
