Sent to a converted castle in the Pacific Northwest used by the U.S. government as a psychiatric institution for military personnel who fought in the Vietnam War, the unorthodox psychiatrist, Colonel Kane, has a lot on his plate already, trying to figure out whether the inmates feign insanity or not. Still struggling with his inner demons, Kane is particularly intrigued by the psychotic former astronaut, Captain Cutshaw, whose metaphysical enquiries trigger a feverish recurring nightmare. More and more, as Kane and Cutshaw engage in intense theological debates over the existence of God and evil, the troubled scientist finds himself at a dead-end, in need of a brilliant but reckless plan to determine the root of the soldiers' complex mental breakdowns. Can Colonel Kane provide proof of an afterlife?
Leave your thoughts about The Ninth Configuration.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. Grostunusual dark comedy, with stacy keach at his best. |
| Little White LiesAnton BitelLike the Gothic castle (festooned with gargoyles, crucifixes and posters of Bela Lugosi) in which The Ninth Configuration is predominantly set, Blatty's film is something of a grand folly, by turns uproariously funny and deadly serious.... |
| CineVueAdam LowesA resolutely offbeat film which offers a richly rewarding and affecting viewing experience if you’re willing to embrace it’s esoteric flourishes. |
| EmpireAdam SmithHeavy but fascinating creepy drama, that lacks pace in the first half but has some genuinely thrilling moments. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrDemented disquisitions on Catholic theology vie for supremacy with camp humor and horror-movie conventions, leading to a conclusion that somehow manages to conflate The Wild Angels and The Passion of Joan of Arc. |
| Chicago TribuneRobert BlauIt takes on the overtones not of an awful movie, but of an awful play. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeBrilliant, funny, moving examination of faith from Blatty. |
| User ReviewSoo CLittle known and ruddy amazing - beautifully written and directed by WPB - makes up for the hatchet job the movie peeps did on Exorcist and Exorcist 3 - shame on them - should have let Blatty direct them too. A truly life-affirming flick! |
| User ReviewNate CAll the dark pathos and humor of the original MASH movie. I just keep picturing all those "diuretic gods". |
| User ReviewBrett SThe greatest movie you never heard of. A cult classic. YOu have either seen it 20 times or you;ve never seen it at all. Great story by the director of the Exorcist. Not a scary film but one that goes all over the place. Very dark humor, with some decent shock that will make you think. One of my top 10 all time favorites. |
