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.

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

Quite disappointing as a sequel.

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.
