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.

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.

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

While the first Exorcist was brilliant, this sequel is complete rubbish. The maker did not in the slightest get what made the first movie a success.
