1980 In Review - February. Problem is the William Peter Blatty film takes entirely too long to explain itself. It has a 7 on IMDB and 3.5 on here. 0000021280 00000 n

The IMDB rating says it all: VERY few people know about this one, but those who do are nearly unanimous: this is outstanding storytelling. It's best not to know to much about this movie beforehand. Was this review helpful? Your patience will be rewarded, I assure you - it all comes together, culminating in a bar-room brawl that is an absolute textbook piece of tension-building.
In interviews and on internet trivia pages, Blatty has said that "The Ninth Configuration" is the "real" sequel to the "The Exorcist," supplanting the widely reviled "Exorcist II: The Heretic" as the middle chapter of the trilogy. He adapts his own novel for the big screen in this bizarre film about an astronaut (Scott Wilson) who's reached his breaking point and a military doctor (Stacy Keach) who's trying to reach out to him.

Was this review helpful? Then i tried to find it in video as "Twinkle..." Just a month ago finally discover the real name. Requires careful attention due to heady content and some complex twists and turns in the plot. Was this review helpful? 310 students go to Ninth Street School. Instead, it's half absurdest comedy, half existential thriller. endobj 7 out of 9 found this helpful. 0000013460 00000 n
108 0 obj Blatty wrote an interesting novel concerning several of his constant obsessions. The dialogue is pointless, and the characters cliched. I rented this film one night when I was tired of seeing the same things in the "New Releases" section, so I (shudder!) "The Ninth Configuration" isn't even a horror film. 0000035784 00000 n

(Is the Exorcist, without Reagan, in a tour near the Cukoos nest) I think is a film every filmgore must see a lot of times. Who is sane at all? Ninth Street School is a public elementary school in Los Angeles. 0000036465 00000 n
Otherwise, the movies are unrelated. 0000006798 00000 n
(The last scene could be cut and everyone happy) Well, I want to know who sings the opening song, if anyone can help!!) I had no idea what I was seeing but it was very interesting and when it was over It quickly became one of my all time favorite films along with: Alien, Catch 22, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (I Know), Dr Strange Love, The Taking Of Pelham 1,2,3 etc. This is a terrific film, the ultimate in surrealism in film.
It's really funny to watch.
The cast has a who's who of Hollywood cast-offs (William Peter Blatty has a cameo himself as one of the patients). Was this review helpful? To me the mark of a well done intelligent movie is the discussion it provokes after the closing credits.

Most people (including myself) probably missed this film or caught part of it somewhere and dismissed it as another B-movie or take-off of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. 28 out of 32 found this helpful. The questions extend to the audience itself. 108 36 If you think a Steven Seagal film is mentally taxing... be prepared to be bored.
It'd be a pity if they were trusted, since 1980's The Ninth Configuration, Exorcist author Blatty's directorial debut, is in fact a beguiling, occasionally terrifying, and emotionally moving gem. First time viewers, be warned: be patient.
I think the film is an astounding "War Film" You can see Petter Blatty from the first shots. 0000001871 00000 n
Some of the lines in this film are brilliantly hilarious, some are cryptic and spooky, and some just blow your mind.
There are so many nooks and crannies we only get a glimpse of that this movie can be viewed over and over each time offering a new and fresh perspective. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? In short, it brings down the movie. 0000004671 00000 n

It might start out as a comedy, it also contains horror like elements, drama, surrealistic and tragic parts. 6 out of 10 found this helpful.
"The Ninth Configuration" is the sort of film people either love or hate. Jason Miller in particular is brilliant, and Stacy Keach, who you might think "wooden" for a little while, turns in one of his strongest performances.
Let it happen.

If you can find this movie rent it, invite several friends over, and enjoy the discussion after. 0000003549 00000 n
5 out of 7 found this helpful. If you're one of those people (like me) who loves to be taken completely by surprise by a movie, this is the one for you. It's my all-time favorite movie, not perfect but a real screen miracle all the same. I have tried many times over the years to watch it, but have never managed to … trailer You may not know who Stacy Keach, Scott Wilson, Jason Miller, Ed Flanders, Neville Brand, George DiCenzo, Moses Gunn, Robert Loggia, Joe Spinell, Tom Atkins, or Richard Lynch are, but you have probably seen them acting in dozens, if not hundreds of roles.
