However bad you think The Exorcist 2: The Heretic might be, I can almost guarantee that you’re incorrect. The Exorcist 2, which brings in Oscar winning actors Louise Fletcher and Sir Richard Burton to flank the returning Linda Blair, is perhaps one of the worst sequels ever made. The degree to which the director staffs minor roles with Hollywood heavyweights (Max von Sydow, James Earl Jones, and the man who broke the unprotected gay sex barrier in Hollywood, Ned Beatty) is testament to the desperation he must have felt working with the world’s most boring horror script. Lots of heavy-handed dialogue between Burton (looking like Drunky McSweatsalot in every scene) representing faith and Fletcher (looking positvely Lincolnesque) representing science. Lots of lights being shined in Linda Blair’s face. Lots of Burton mumbling around the African desert. Not a lot of sense made.

“Don’t you ever want a woman, father?” “Yes.” Creepy.

2/5
