There's less to "think" about in this version. Less to see. Less to hear. Less to experience. Reviewers classifying this as a "thinking man's version" of the film, and how it had more substance are just taking sides with the directorial changes that brought us two versions of the same movie in 1 year. You want the safer version watch this one. You want the roller coaster (trigger warning) version watch Exorcist: The Beginning.
