Good to know
These are standalone stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle at all. Connection and Exorcist share 70s grit but no plot links. Sorcerer plays best after Exorcist for scale turn. Killer Joe closes theatrical run as final feature. Start with Connection, Exorcist or Sorcerer.
