Review Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

[Doctor Omega]

Exorcist II: The Heretic is a 1977 American supernatural horror film, directed by John Boorman and written by William Goodhart. It stars Linda Blair, Richard Burton, Louise Fletcher, Max von Sydow, Kitty Winn, Paul Henreid and James Earl Jones. It is a sequel to William Friedkin's 1973 film The Exorcist based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, and the second installment of The Exorcist franchise.

The film was a critical failure at the time of its release. Exorcist II is often considered not just the worst film in the series, but one of the worst films of all time. It was the last film to feature veteran actor Paul Henreid.

At least John Boorman tried to do something different. But it was a real turkey.

Horrible.

This one is classified as 'Horror' for other than the usual film classification reasons...

Also, I'd watch anything with Max von Sydow. Loved him in Game of Thrones recently

This one is bad. I remember watching it for the second time and wondering why I was watching it again.
