Exorcist II: The Heretic Reviews
November 2, 2020
Exorcist II: The Heretic is a perfect mix of tedium and hilarity, and it's easy to understand why audiences back in the day actually threw items at the screen (you'll doubtless fight similar urges).

Ridiculous, hopelessly confused, and incomprehensible.

Exorcist II, The Heretic makes The Exorcist numero uno look like Citizen Kane.

A stupid and useless film, whose mere existence is difficult to justify. [Full Review in Spanish]

A film simultaneously obsessed with and contemptuous of William Friedkin's 1973 classic, Exorcist II: The Heretic is crazy without ever becoming crazy fun.

October 26, 2016
A strange and off-putting experience, filled with endless miscalculations in nearly every detail it attempts to build up, including performances by actors who ought to have known better.

118 minutes of endless flashy-light hypnotism, staggeringly terrible locust effects, and Richard Burton wandering around what appears to be Tatooine.

In a film that is by no means light on candidates for Worst Single Element, Richard Burton is pretty clearly the very bottom.

It may be that the best way to watch The Heretic is to shut off the soundtrack and play a CD of Goblin's Suspiria score as accompaniment.

Not as bad as I was led to believe. Some interesting ideas about the aftermath. But alas, still not a compelling story.

Compelling reasons for watching Exorcist II? Well, there's Richard Burton's voice. Then, there's...uh.... Oh, forget it. There are no reasons for watching this film.
Original Score: 2/10

How could such a sure-thing sequel end up so absolutely atrocious? I've no idea.
