Like 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....

The Ninth Configuration is as much a horror film as it is a social satire and a drama. [Full review in Spanish]

It’s sincere in its grappling with pain and pain’s place in a reality supposedly created by a loving god.

Not only is it an impressive debut from Mr. Blatty but it tries to do something different and doesn't take its audience for a lot of fools who park their brains at the cinema ticket kiosk.
