Blatty, who wrote the book and screenplay for The Exorcist, is responsible for the entire franchise. Loosely based on DC Comics' Hellblazer, images and dialogue spring with animation off the '80s pulp pages, unleashing both demons and Constantine fandom in the same whirlwind of horror-fantasyland.Ī hidden gem overshadowed by the legacy of the original, William Peter Blatty steps up to direct this third installment. In the reflection, a devilish Gollum-like creature thrashes and hisses like a snake. He pushes down, her flesh burning as several men hold a mirror above the bed. For example, there's an exorcism where John stands over a possessed girl (Jhoanna Trias) to cast out a "soldier demon," pressing a cross bathed in sunlight into her forehead. John Constantine (Reeves) is a demonologist, starring alongside Rachel Weisz who sends demons straight to Hell and contends with Gabriel ( Tilda Swinton) and Lucifer ( Peter Stormare) in the process. What's more, fans are begging for a sequel, which is now in development. At first considered an unfortunate Keanu Reeves blunder, as time passed - perhaps with the resurgence of Reeves' slam-bang action hero roles in the John Wick franchise - Constantine is now something of a cult classic.
