truly what the original Exorcist was lacking was Regan doing Gangnam Style to exorcise the demon

John Boorman makes a terrible sequel to the Exorcist but an excellent 'Italian' horror.

Satan's EST session, a quintessential Boorman freakout. Base urges, arcane beliefs, sober rationality, false prophets, wronged martyrs, new technologies, all existing in the same psychic space and time, always in flux just like these amazing sets, the stunning miniatures,…

This may just be the most unfairly maligned sequel and it shall come as a shock to no one that I think it’s a fantastic movie. And let’s be real here, what was anyone ever expecting from the sequel anyway? TOO MUCH, that’s what! Seriously, what did people think they were…

Ah yes, a priest’s only weakness: minors. What a slap in the face to the first movie. There’s nothing good about this.

I mean, the cinematography is good and some of the set designs are great, from the hospital to the surreal Africa settings. Ennio Morricone’s score is also pretty good, does a nice job setting up the eerie tone. And that’s about it. I really tried giving this film a…

As a sequel to The Exorcist? - Yes, it's a dismal failure. Viewed as a stand-alone, loopy, mystical/sci-fi/horror hybrid dragged along by a manic Richard Burton performance? - It's actually quite fun. Somehow I missed out on(avoided...) seeing this until very recently,…

Exorcist II: The Heretic

it was very exciting to see the credits start rolling!!! somehow even worse than the first one. literally nothing happened. snooze central. you probably could cut the 2 hours down into 10 minutes and still understand it. genuinely no substance in this film and awful acting

Beautiful cinematography and cool score, great actors, but really bad screenplay and uneven performances. Yikes! Skip this one!

Exorcist II: The Heretic

I wish there was a hate button. This is one of the worst sequels to a film I have ever seen. Don’t get the obsession with Africa and locusts as it relates Tia demon. Horrible plot. Acting was meh. Blair was adorable but over sexualized. Movie is all sorts of bad.

Exorcist II: The Heretic

Sheesh this movie sucks. The pacing makes it tedious to watch, Chris MacNeil is written out, the whole plot with the random psychic device makes no sense, and the new priest can’t hold a candle to Father Damian.

I didn’t understand a thing. Imagine sleepwalking and going to the balcony and not jumping off. “Pazuzu will brush me with his wings”

It was good! A bit confusing, but good lol! It didn’t really have anything to do with the first one though.
