"The personal vision of William Peter Blatty (writer of William Friedkin's original 1973 masterpiece), The Exorcist III is a hellish horror detective story that pairs thoughtful theological themes with scenes of sheer terror.

Fifteen years after the events of the first film, Lieutenant Kinderman (George C. Scott, The Changeling) investigates a series of horrific murders that follow the modus operandi of the notorious Gemini Killer... who died several years earlier in the electric chair. After his friend Father Dyer (Ed Flanders) is murdered in his hospital bed, Kinderman's investigations lead him to 'Patient X', a psychopath housed at the same hospital who claims to be the Gemini Killer, and who knows intimate crime scene details. Their encounter leads to a fiery climactic confrontation between the eternal forces of good and evil...

The Exorcist III boasts some of modern horror's most unforgettable scares and exceptional supporting performances from Jason Miller (The Ninth Configuration) and Brad Dourif (Dune). Blatty's film is presented here in both its original theatrical cut and the Legion director's cut."

I don't have a 4K player, so this is pointless for me

I do have a 4K player and, as I have the 2021 Blu-ray release with the exact same special features and the source material is particularly poor, this is pointless for me as well.
