	Father Philip Lamont (]), who is struggling with his faith, is assigned by the ] (]) to investigate the death of Father Lankester Merrin (]). Merrin was killed in the first film during the exorcism of ] (]). The Cardinal informs Lamont (who has had some experience at exorcism, and has been exposed to Merrin's teachings) that Merrin is being investigated posthumously for heresy. Despite approval for the MacNeil exorcism by a bishop, the Church is no longer convinced that MacNeil was truly possessed, and the controversial nature of Merrin's books on the subject are being reconsidered as politically and theologically suspect.

This dig is excavating a ] ] ] from the 5th century—long before Christianity had reached that region. Further, the church is in perfect condition, as though it had been buried immediately after the construction was completed. Merrin is asked to participate in the dig and find an ancient relic hidden in the ruins before the British do. Merrin takes the job but soon discovers that all is not well—something evil lies in the church and is infecting the region. The local tribesman hired to dig refuse to enter the building, and there are stories of an epidemic that wiped out an entire village. However, when Merrin, growing suspicious of these rumors, digs up one of the graves of the supposed victims of this plague, he discovers it is empty. Meanwhile, the evil grows, turning people against each other and resulting in violence, atrocities, and more bloodshed.

	Many years before the events in '']'', the young Father Lankester Merrin (played by Skarsgård, who played the same part in the '']'') travels to ]. Merrin has taken a sabbatical from the Church and devoted himself to history and archaeology as he struggles with his shattered faith. He is haunted especially by an incident in a small village in occupied Holland during ], where he served as the parish priest. Near the end of the war, a sadistic Nazi SS commander, in retaliation for the murder of a German trooper, forces Merrin to participate in arbitrary executions in order to save a full village from slaughter.

	He meets up with a team of archaeologists, who are seeking to unearth a church that they believe has been buried for centuries. At first, Merrin resists the idea that supernatural forces are in play but eventually helps them, and the ensuing events result in an encounter with ], the same demon referenced in '']''.

	==Cut scenes==
	===The "spider-walk scene"===
	] Linda R. Hager was hired to perform the infamous "spider-walk scene" that was filmed on April 11, 1973. Friedkin deleted the scene just prior to the original December 26, 1973 release date because he felt it was ineffective technically. However, with advanced developments in digital media technology, Friedkin worked with ] artists to make the scene look more convincing for the 2000 theatrically re-released version of ''The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen''. Since the original release, myths and rumors still exist that a variety of spider-walk scenes were filmed<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://captainhowdy.com/?page_id=38&xdforum_action=viewthread&xf_id=1&xt_id=888&pstart=0\|title=Archived copy\|access-date=2009-09-05\|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707002215/http://captainhowdy.com/?page_id=38&xdforum_action=viewthread&xf_id=1&xt_id=888&pstart=0\|archive-date=2012-07-07\|url-status=dead}}{{Dead link\|fix-attempted=yes\|date=July 2021}}</ref>{{better reference needed\|date=July 2021}} despite Friedkin's insistence that no alternate version was ever shot.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://pages.zoom.co.uk/the.exorcist/Html/friedkin_faqs.htm\|title=EXORCIST FAQ by William Friedkin\|accessdate=2009-09-05\|url-status=dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427112721/http://pages.zoom.co.uk/the.exorcist/Html/friedkin_faqs.htm\|archivedate=2009-04-27}}</ref>

This DVD includes the special feature BBC documentary, ''The Fear of God: The Making of The Exorcist'',<ref>{{cite press release\|url=https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1998/08/13/collectors-tribute-to-the-film-that-frightened-the-world-the\|title=Collectors' Tribute to the Film that Frightened the World!!!

The updated "bloody version" of the spider-walk scene appears in the 2000 re-release of ''The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen'' utilizing CGI technology to incorporate the special effect of blood pouring from Regan's mouth during this scene's finale.

	===''The Exorcist III''===
	Despite his misgivings about the studio-imposed reshoots, Blatty is proud of the finished version of ''The Exorcist III'', having said: "It's still a superior film. And in my opinion, and excuse me if I utter heresy here, but for me, it's a more frightening film than ''The Exorcist''."<ref>{{citation\|title=The Exorcist: Out of the Shadows\|last=McCabe\|first=Bob\|year=1999\|publisher=]}}</ref> Nevertheless, Blatty had hoped to recover the deleted footage from the Morgan Creek vaults so that he might re-assemble the original cut of the film which he said was "rather different" from what was released, and a version of the film fans of the ''Exorcist'' series had been requesting.{{cn\|date=May 2021}} In 2007, Blatty's wife reported on a ] that "my husband tells me that it is Morgan Creek's claim that they have lost all the footage, including an alternate opening scene in which Kinderman views the body of Karras in the morgue, right after his fall down the steps." ] has stated that the search for the missing footage is "ongoing".<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/2009/01/more_points_of_you_part_two.html\|title=More Points of You: Part Two\|publisher=]\|date=16 January 2009\|author=Mark Kermode\|authorlink=Mark Kermode}}</ref>

	The book titled ''The Evolution Of William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist III: From Concept To Novel To Screen'' by author Erik Kristopher Myers reveals the whole story behind the film's development, and has never-before-seen images, the original script, studio notes, various drafts of the story as it has evolved, and interviews with Blatty, Dourif, Kermode, Carpenter and many others associated with the film.<ref name="tncf"/> Myers in an interview said that ''The Exorcist III'' "has sort of turned into horror genre's equivalent to ]' '']'', in that it was originally a very classy film that the studio hacked apart and turned into a commercial piece I'm basically trying to chronicle how a film can get away from the auteur and be transformed into a purely commercial product."<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.cincity2000.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1546&Itemid=2\|title=Rushin' Roulette: An interview with a No-Budget Filmmaker\|website=CC2K\|date=3 November 2008\|author=Rob Van Winkle\|accessdate=2009-09-05\|url-status=dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708154034/http://www.cincity2000.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1546&Itemid=2\|archivedate=2011-07-08}}</ref>
