Just plain silly but has a sort of bad movie charm.

Director John Boorman accomplishes dazzling things with his eerie, reflective sets and powerhouse cast including Richard Burton and Louise Fletcher.

A glittering riposte to the original's earthbound viciousness

Compelling reasons for watching Exorcist II? Well, there's Richard Burton's voice. Then, there's...uh.... Oh, forget it. There are no reasons for watching this film.

Not as bad as I was led to believe. Some interesting ideas about the aftermath. But alas, still not a compelling story.

One fascinating disaster--an anti-Exorcist sequel from a filmmaker openly contemptuous of the original.

118 minutes of endless flashy-light hypnotism, staggeringly terrible locust effects, and Richard Burton wandering around what appears to be Tatooine.

What a shameless, awlful follow-up to one of horror's greatest moments

In a film that is by no means light on candidates for Worst Single Element, Richard Burton is pretty clearly the very bottom.

It may be that the best way to watch The Heretic is to shut off the soundtrack and play a CD of Goblin's Suspiria score as accompaniment.

A strange and off-putting experience, filled with endless miscalculations in nearly every detail it attempts to build up, including performances by actors who ought to have known better.

Very enjoyable in retrospect, and a big improvement on its source material.
