Exorcist 2 The Heretic: Is The Awfully Good Sequel Worse Than Believer?

  • Now that David Gordon Green has sent another horror franchise to hell with THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, the time is right this Halloween for Awfully Good Movies to tackle one of the most awfully good sequels ever made… EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC!
    While the late William Friedkin and William Peter Blatty were hellbent against any follow-ups to their seminal horror classic, the suits at Warner Bros. felt otherwise and rolled camera on a follow-up four years later from another prestige filmmaker, John Boorman, despite Boorman passing on the first film and calling it a “repulsive” tale about “child abuse”. So instead, Linda Blair returns as Regan MacNeil one last time (until REPOSSESSED and EXORCIST: BELIEVER, that is) to fight the satanic demon nipping at her heels once more, thanks to a mind synchronization device that is just the tip of this sequel’s deeply insane iceberg.
    Whether it’s a visibly drunk Richard Burton as the new priest sent to save Regan’s soul and clear Father Merrin’s name, Louise Fletcher slumming it after her Oscar for Nurse Ratched playing Regan’s harried psychologist in place of the absent Ellen Burstyn, or James Earl Jones wearing a locust costume atop his head, they’re all complicit in John Boorman’s craziest concoction since ZARDOZ, with the now-debunked pseudoscience of ESP (“the sixth sense”) proving central to the plot in overlong hallucination sequences and flashbacks with a begrudgingly returning Max von Sydow as the young Father Merrin. And did I forget to mention the demon’s name is Pazuzu? (Yes, I know it’s his name in the book, but still!)
    It all combines to create one of the most spectacular failures in the history of sequels, with all the scares now replaced by unintentional laughs or long stretches of boredom… you know, much like EXORCIST: BELIEVER! But at least THE HERETIC has some pretty photography, a great Morricone score, and an unlikely fan in none other than Martin Scorsese. Yes, folks, Scorsese thinks that EXORCIST II is cinema, which is more than anybody can say for EXORCIST: BELIEVER.

    I say this in defense of E2: it’s technically well made for the time, has great cinematography, a pretty damn good Score by Ennio Morricone… and at least it tried to do something different. Whether it succeeded is a different story, but I can always appreciate ambition. And John Boorman (Deliverance, Zardoz, Excalibur) is certainly no hack.

    Exorcist: Believer officially surpassed The Heretic as the WORST Exorcist sequel when they paid Ellen Burnstyn an ungodly amount of money to complain about the patriarchy, attempt a Girl Boss moment against Satan, and get her eyes poked out...which kind of proves the damn patriarchy was right all along to keep her out of any possessed girl's room.

      @@ccateni28 1st half was good. Had a lot of elements from the original. I thought the inclusion of Regan's mom was unnecessary. It didn't do anything for the movie but bring in the older fans like me. One minute she's stating she can't do exorcisms. 10 minutes later she's "trying" one. She kinda deserved that cross action. LOL As far as the exorcism part, every exorcism in every Exorcist movie after the original pales in comparison. The stuff they could get away with back then was much more visceral I liked idea of the dual exorcisms. I didn't mind the inclusion of the different "branches" of Christianity. Sorry, don't know how else to put that. I didn't however like that they made the Catholic priest weak. I'm not Catholic but that is the faith that is the whole basis for the story. I'd give it a C at best. SORRY FOR THE NOVEL! hehe

    At least Exorcist 2: The Heretic had a rocking trailer and Bill Fraker's cinematography was excellent. I remember an LA news report after the film's disastrous opening when they interviewed John Boorman in the middle of a desperate re-edit. He said he was afraid he hadn't "fed enough Christians to the lions" which I found hilarious.

    I just *love* how Movies from the 70s were shot. I don't know if its the film stock used at the time or how they lighted the shots but the image has a certain quality to it. And E2 is no exception, for all its flaws: It looks stunning. And this visual quality alone puts it above _Believer._ That, and *ambition.* It takes balls to go about making a Sequel with the express purpose of making it something entirely different than the Original, doing the exact opposite of what audience expected or *wanted*, making an "antidote" as Boorman put it.
    It wasn't a gamble that played off, and I wonder how no one in the Studio put a stop to it (then again, it was the era where directors were given carte-blanche if they had a successful Film or two under their belt - like Michael Cimino when he did _Heaven's Gate)._ But I have to commend the director for not just blandly going through the motions. In a way, its like Rian Johnson and _The last Jedi,_ but, crazy as it sounds, I almost prefer E2 and the reason for that are the two Directors' intentions: When Boorman says he disliked the Original Movie, I believe him. When Johnson says, he's a Star Wars-Fan, I don't buy it.

    I'm old enough to have seen this on opening night. As we went in, the crowd from the afternoon screening warned us to run away. In the end, the line "I understand -- but the world won't!" got one of the biggest laughs I've ever heard. Terrible as it is, "Heretic" has trippy ideas, high production values, great cinematography, and a genuinely fine performance by Linda Blair. This movie and "Zardoz" prove that the great John Boorman did WAY too many drugs in the '70s. But even his worst movie is still interesting enough to justify multiple viewings.

    I've only seen Exorcist 2 once but I quite enjoyed it. It's not a patch on the first one, obviously, but there's a demented energy about it that works; John Boorman is a director with a vision who will put that vision onscreen even if it's completely nuts. I also appreciated that it tried to do something completely new with the premise and didn't act as a less effective remake of the first film like the other big horror sequel of the era, Jaws 2.

Cinematography and music score are nothing to a movie if the plot is confounding and confusing. If you're looking for the aforementioned aspects, you would be better off reading an issue of Life magazine while listening to Mozart.

    Exorcist 2 is a creative, unique film. superior to ExorSHIT believer, a desperate cash in imitation. had that film focused on the girls disappearing and the belief of possession and their parents re-finding their beliefs. No actual possession, no exorcism. it would have been great. but it's just a joke, same as the halloween trilogy, imitations (they're REMAKES). Exorcist 2 is a good film, the true sequel, and 3 is where it ends. EXORSHIT BELIEVER IS THE WORST

    I love this movie. I saw it when it came out, and it's still as beautifully cheesy as always decades later.

    Not only is this definitely the worst of the Exorcist sequels, and not only is this one of the worst sequels ever, but it is just simply one of the worst movies ever made, period.

    Hey yo - about that ESP reference: umm. Have you actually read the original novel? Proving that the moving furniture is actually due to demonic possession (thus necessitating a catholic exorcist) and not teenage ESP is an actual plot point. Lol.

      Well, shit, you got me there! I did not get that far ahead in the book, I was just going by what the movie had established, which was quite absurd in my opinion. My apologies for that screw-up, but thank you for telling me. I hope to genuinely learn from any mistakes people call me out on. I hope you liked the video otherwise.

    • @cklockwork
      @cklockwork 7 місяців тому +2

      @@JeonardShadby505 yeah, it was a great video!! The ESP stuff in the original book is so strange. It simply takes the position that ESP is real and commonplace, and there are passages where it seems Blatty is trying to convince the reader of this. Characters are like “well it could all just be ESP” as if that would make it okay and acceptable, and nothing to freak out about. Lol. - it’s still a great book, nonetheless.

    It's difficult to watch this video because it's trying so hard to be funny that it's hard to gather the actual criticisms and points. Every 5 seconds there's some joke, and it makes the viewer forget what the topic is.

  • @slavetometal8529

    Great video! The info is pretty accurate. "HERETIC VS BELIEVER". Different times, different beliefs. I would say Heretic comes out on top. Heretic had 80% connections to the first. Believer only 40%. Both had GOOD INTENTIONS. But the material in both movies WAS VERY BADLY DELIVERED. "BELIEVER" was not even capable of mentioning PAZUZU, at least out of respect IMO. Guess what William Friedkin... you are STILL the undisputed CHAMPION of "The Exorcist Franchise"!!! (R.I.P.) 😎😎😎

    yes, its not a good movie. but its not a bad movie either. If you want a proper sequel, technically, there's always the ninth configuration. And I had NO idea that was Paul Henreid until now.

    I'm one of maybe like 6 people who actually LIKED Believer, and I have a theory as to why I enjoyed it while so many others despised it.
    I only saw the original film for the first time the day before I was set to see the new one, namely the director's cut via the Fathom Events release. So, I got to see the 1973 original in the best possible way and....I thought it was just pretty good, but not much more than that. After 50 Years of references, parodies and ripoffs....It kinda lost its impact on me. I can absolutely see why it has its reputation, don't get me wrong, but it just didn't get to me the way fellow 70's Horror Groundbreakers The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween did.
    So, when I saw Believer the very next day, I didn't see some sullying of an unassailable masterpiece.... I saw a good sequel to a pretty good movie. Was it the best horror sequel I saw in 2023? The year that had Evil Dead Rise and Saw X? God No. Did I enjoy it? Yeah. I can at least tell that Green LIKED that original film, unlike with Boorman's sequel.
    Then Again, I also loved all three of David Gordon Green's Halloween movies so....Maybe I'm just easily impressed. Eh, I can live with that.
