Exorcist II – The Heretic (1977)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Regan and Pazuzu return. Pazuzu is now a locust and Regan all grown up isn’t shy of teasing with her bralessness or while trying to seduce Father Richard Burton who mostly looks dazed – like he quit Hollywood and could really do with some feminine company. There’s also the nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as Regan’s therapist, which lends a creepy touch. Some of the sounds used and scenarios are downright hilarious, but overall, Heretic has a few redeeming moments that complement the unintentional hilarity.

It’s astonishing how incredibly bad this film really is. It’s just as ridiculous as I remember it to be when I saw it in a movie theater when it first came out. 1 star.

I forgot that Dana Plato had a cameo in this. Every time I see Dana Plato I think about how that woke, woman hating, hypocrite, fucking asshole Howard Stern mercilessly ridiculed her on his how to the point that she committed suicide the next day. Stern never had any remorse for how much of an asshole he was and I hope he fucking dies soon. I will celebrate the day that woke bullshit hypocrite Howard Stern dies.

Terrible movie. Just brutal. The only thing good about the flick is looking at Linda Blair, in her mid-teens at the time, and she was looking good. REALLY good. I was in love/lust. (Easy people, She’s a couple of years older than me so we’re about the same age. Nothing creepy about it… lol)

See… I don’t mind this film at all
I’m old enough to remember it being released… It clearly will always be stacked up against the first film .. but in essence it’s a different story. Yes.. the acting is a bit OTT.. but the actual story ain’t too bad. It’s worth a watch ot two

Meh, does not stack up against the original film. Has some good moments but overall its confusing and ultimately a bit boring. Different director in John Boorman, who I believe directed ”Deliverance” and is not a horror movie specialist. A definite let down, but then, a lot of sequels are.
