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.
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.
Quite disappointing as a sequel.
Must be oldies but goodies February
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
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)
much better than the overrated original
much better the the first one
