I've actually owned a DVD copy of this for decades but had never watched it based on its poor reputation...until now. Turns out, I should have left it on the shelf. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm just not going to talk about it.

I've rarely seen such a glaring drop in quality from a film to a direct sequel as in "Exorcist II". In this misguided sequel to William Friedkin's masterpiece, everything is worse: the effects are lousy, the actors bad, the music super annoying, and the script thin. Furthermore, Friedkin is also clearly missing from the director's chair, as his successor, John Boorman, can't even begin to hold a candle to him. I also feel sorry for Linda Blair, who was fantastic in the first part but is just as awful here as the rest of the cast. Annoying sound effects and a plot that is a real snoozefest do the rest to make "Exorcist II: The Heretic" a truly exhausting movie experience.

Very very bad. Acting of many is horrible and atmosphere is completely gone from previous one. And there are so many things wrong with this. - 2/10

This is tragically bad. It is a mystery how a top, classic horror film that most of older fans cut our teeth on (The Exorcist) could have spawned a sequel this awful. It isn't even scary just a weird plot combined with terrible special effects. Skip this in your rewatch and go straight to The Exorcist III from The Exorcist.

I have all the respect in the world for John Boorman--his 'Point Blank' and 'Deliverance' are excellent--but this sequel to one of the greatest horror movies ever made simply falls listless and flat. Of course, the script is extremely talky and lifeless--as if it had been 'exorcised' of all the wond More

One of the many things that make The Exorcist arguably the greatest horror films ever made – or simply one of the greatest films ever made, regardless of genre –, is that it has no use for the obligatory final shot suggesting that the evil will continue. On the contrary, it ends on a hopeful, op More
