The Ninth Configuration is a puzzling yet fascinating meditation on faith and an excellent successor to The Exorcist.
The Big Picture What has distinguished The Exorcist from not only lesser films but also from other great horror classics is the fact that the author of the original novel, William Peter Blatty, truly believes. He believes not only that exorcism is a fact, but that there is great evil — and also great good. Blatty has always set his films and novels in the realms of the spiritual and philosophical, the natures of good and evil.
What Is 'The Ninth Configuration' About? After The Exorcist became a hit, Blatty reworked his 1966 novel titled Twinkle, Twinkle, "Killer" Kane! and turned it into 1978's The Ninth Configuration, which is part of what Blatty has deemed his "Trilogy of Faith". It is the middle installment, nestled comfortably between The Exorcist and The Exorcist III . The Ninth Configuration tells the story of a mental institution for Vietnam veterans.
