The Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

The Exorcist II: The Heretic is a sight to behold. While most of its unintentionally funny moments won't stick with you the way "Oh hi Mark!" or "They're eating her! And then they're going to eat me! OH MY GOD!" did, I recommend it to those who like bad movies. This sequel makes so many mistakes so often you'll be constantly picking your jaw off the floor.

Set four years after the events of the previous movie, Father Philip Lamont (Regan MacNeil) is investigating the final exorcism performed by the late Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow). This brings him to a now sixteen-year-old Regan (Linda Blair) and the demon that possessed her.

It’s not that the plot of Exorcist II comes out of nowhere; it all “make sense”. It's that to the audience, nothing we see follows any logic. Regan is staying at a psychiatric institute that looks like a space station crossed with a beehive. To determine what happened to her, they’re using a device to plunge into her psyche that might as well be magic because, in this realm, it's thoroughly unbelievable any way you look at it. Then, it explains her demon's origin. Hallucinations, flashbacks, crazy costumes, swarms of locusts, battles in the subconscious, and technobabble all happily line up. Even if the best parts have been spoiled for you (Hint: It has to do with James Earl Jones’ part), you can’t be prepared.

I suppose that, in theory, and if you squint really hard, the premise is decent. It’s not simply a new family moving into the same house as Regan and her mom (not appearing in the film). With the church looking back at what happened and wondering if it was all really true, this is the next “logical” story. The execution is disastrous but at least you can “see” why the project was green-lit. Well, ok, not really. This one was made solely for the money.

There's no doubt of its origin as a cash-grab but the film doesn’t reveal itself as an abomination from the very start, which sort of plays in its favor as a bad movie. For maximum effect, watch the original film with your friends. Discuss why it’s so good. Talk about the performances, the special effects, the unconventional choices, and how frightening it is. Then, drop this bomb on them. It’s an assault so devastating, it’s delicious.

The Exorcist II: The Heretic has been called “one of the worst movies ever made” but it isn't. Everything it does poorly someone else has fumbled harder. It is a contender for "worst sequel ever made", however. It isn’t merely tonally and technically the antithesis of the first; The Exorcist II is an impenetrable brick wall of a story, a tale so baffling, so inept and so numbing it'll have you entranced. (On DVD, June 9, 2017)
