A review by angethology
Legion by William Peter Blatty
1.5
"He believed in wonders but not in the impossible: not in an infinite regression in contingencies, or that love and acts of will were reducible to neurons firing in the brain."
I didn't realize a horror—mystery of this type of premise could bore me to death. Kinderman's consistent tirades and rambling make the already wayward plot difficult to follow, although it does get slightly more interesting toward the end.
I also found the comic relief moments/occasional quips by Kinderman strangely misplaced; they just didn't feel organic. The suspense is nothing like The Exorcist, and even with its genre shift in mind, it's just a snooze fest that I trudged through.
