Exorcist II: The Heretic

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2001 Filmcritic.com

Er, what's that? You didn't understand the intricacies of Exorcist II: The Heretic? What an idiot you are! You've got Linda Blair as a teenager, under hypnosis for most of the movie. You've got James Earl Jones as an African tribal leader. You've got "the good locusts." And you've got Richard Burton as a priest who opens up the whole can of demons afresh! Total, utter nonsense with a bad dub job. Stick with the original, or the next sequel if you must.
