Product Description

Exorcist 2: The Heretic (BD)

Four years after the gut-wrenching, head-turning terrors of the boxoffice monster "The Exorcist," Regan (Linda Blair) is still possessed by the demons that took movie horror to a new dimension. John Boorman ("Excalibur," "Deliverance," "The Emerald Forest") directs this stylish sequel whose cast includes Oscar-winner Louise Fletcher ("The Cheap Detective," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"), Oscar-nominee Richard Burton ("Equus," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"), Ned Beatty ("Roseanne," "Superman") and James Earl Jones ("Field of Dreams," "Clear and Present Danger").

So much better than the first. Richard Burton is in top form and the ensemble cast lifts the movie to a higher level of entertainment.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I guess the first is technically a better movie, but I enjoy this one much more and rewatch it once in a while. It has one of the most beautiful musical themes I've ever heard, and its nice to look at. There is a lot here that I think goes over many people's head...like the power to turn away from things like drugs, lust, greed and peer pressure in pursuit of what's real and good, and an overall heartwarmjng compassionate vibe. Its more of a fun soulful feel good movie than a gross jump scare. Think of it as fantasy instead of horror and its much more enjoyable than the first.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a terrible film, and yet...
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2019

...there is something perversely riveting about it. John Boorman was no fan of horror films (having turned down the chance to direct the original THE EXORCIST), and it seems clear when revisiting this much-maligned bomb that he either forgot he was making one here, or simply vehemently refused to go in that direction. Beyond a few simulated quasi-flashback bits, we really never see teenage Regan in danger or the throes of malevolent possession at any point during the story. Boorman seemed content to have Richard Burton glower and grimace and remind us at every turn that the supernatural shit was going to hit the fan if something wasn't done to prevent it. Ultimately, the muddled narrative becomes a bizarre, anticlimactic mixture of stylish imagery and 17-year-old Linda Blair prepping for her more salacious post-Regan career in women-in-prison & girl gang movies. She's dolled up to the nines for much of the run time, and her only real "possession" bits have her basically coming on to Burton like an oversexed demonic Lolita wearing cat's eye contact lenses. It's a misguided movie I've always said should be seen & enjoyed as it's own entity, rather than as a sequel to one of the greatest horror films ever made. On its own, it's minor but still oddly engaging (even if just as an unintentional comedy). As a sequel, it's every bit as godawful & disappointing as its reputation suggests.

This was actually, I think of the first5 movies I ever bought. Due to the fact that this is Halloween 2017 and a lot of great for movies of the past have been revamped in HD. I ordered The Exorcist: the version you never seen. Aka the directors cut. Because it was on sale for 699. Getting to my point, I own all the other ones and wanted to rewatch them all in order. I always watch my paper or movies. A few days before Halloween because of disabled and stuck in bed, so keep me entertained and gets me in the Halloween spirit.

So on with Yhe Exorcist II: The Heretic. Right off the bat, I will say the only 2 returning cast members are. The actor that plays. Father Merton actor Alex Von Sydow and Linda Blair who played Regan in part 1. From what I understand in doing research and reading up on the movie and other tidbits of information. Director WillI am Friedkin, along with the author of the book of the exorcist, refused to come back after several rewrites and alterations of the second chapter in the movie because well when you see the film if they changed it just a. Actually could have been good. Along with Ellen Bernstein. And other actors that were in it that I just can not remember at the moment. The one thing I do like in this movie which may be a downfall for that actress I don't know keep in mind I saw this movie when I was 13 when it came The one thing I do like in this movie, which may be a downfall for that actress I don't know keep in mind I saw this movie when I was 13 when the exorcist directors cut came out with 2000 as its first initial release. I had also saw one flew over a cuckoos nest and notice the woman who played nurse ratchet that is basically playing the same role in the exercise part 2 the heretic.

The move takes place it says 2 years later after the incident with father Merrin. And Karrass both died, doing the exorcism on Linda Blair's character in the first. Or so she was at a psychiatrist at best, and they are trying to figure out what is going on with her nightmares. Etcetera. And the priest said that psychiatry ward is suspicious that she did murder, that priest, which, if you saw the first1, the priest killed himself by taking demon into himself. Anyways, it becomes a little bit of a witch hunt, and they do hypnosis to see what is going on and going back to father Marian. His story line becomes open dowith, what actually happened between what he was left in the room with her and how he died. So then it goes deeper into the story, which is the part I do, like because for people that what I saw the exorcist the beginning or dominion prequel to the exorcist. It only minorly gets covered and even though s kind of properly done in this version due to editing not acting. To a very that actually saw this film because I think for a long time this one was a little hard to get until they did the re release of it in he !if 200s. I only ever saw it on the at my local video stores on vhs even when every story had upgraded to DVD. If they didn't have it on, believe they keep the video chess, somebody wanted to rent that bill until they could get it on DVD or blue ray etc. And this did not come out til like 2006 or 7 so prob the 80s until then it was unavailable and then they released it recently on Blu-ray did the it get released on Blu-ray \dvd when the 40th anniversary set came out.

Its okay. I mean, I bought it when I wanted to check it out again after not seeing it and over a decade back 2012 or 2013. It also has led baby como James Earl shows way before he was famous and several other big actors and actresses play minor roles in the film. And. Its good. If you just like the original anyone see it, I would give it 3 and a half stars, but you can't do half stars, so I gave it 4 because I like the series. I think this is better than exercise the beginning. And I like this one probably more than exercise. But my top 2 are obviously the original and dominion a prequel to the exorcist, which is the original version of exorcist the beginning before they ruined it and had. Re film over 50 percent of it and slated Remy Martin to. So half of it free cast half of it and turn it into a total crap fest. And a gore film in which the other firms were not.

4.0 out of 5 stars A stylish interesting and thought provoking film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2017

I actually thought it was superior to the original.yes you read that correctly it doesn't have the shocks but it has a lot more depth and intelligence. More spiritual than visceral and with a charming performance by a grown up Linda Blair what a shame she didn't get to branch out to more movie roles. This has something the other movie lacked namely subtlety. Yes it has a quieter pace and is not so relentless but it has class acting some scenes of absolute beauty and a literate and intelligent script and some nice supernatural touches yes it's a different kettle of fish but it's all the more original for that. Ultimately it's an act of imagination stretched to capacity by John Boormans fluid and deft direction . I.m shocked by the hostile reception to this I can only presume it was because it was not what people expected but for me that is a good thing not a bad one.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2022

Where to start with this one? I read some of the 5 star reviews and tried to like the film as well but I just cannot find any redeeming quality in this film. This is not just terrible but terribly boring. The plot is literally all over the place, USA, South America, Europe, Africa, and then something to do with a locust swarm. The actors looked and sounded as if they were in it just for the money; Richard Burton in particular seemed to spend a lot of time staring into the distance. The only real horror in the film was the roof terrace. Apparently, according to the IMDb page, this was a real location and Linda Blair really was teetering on the edge screaming real screams. Think about it - a roof terrace about 50 floors up and the perimeter fence has gaps in it! What sort of idiot would want something like this? The film is still terrible though.

The DVD runs for about 113 minutes. Aspect ratio is 1.85:1. Languages are English, French and Italian with subtitles in several languages. The only extras of note are an alternate opening sequence and a couple of trailers.
