Dr. Gene Tuskin works with troubled children, perhaps none more troubled than Regan MacNeil, who suffers from bad dreams and repressed memories. The memories she represses are of the time she was possessed by a demon. Dr. Tuskin's invention, a device that hypnotizes two persons and links their minds together, reveals that the demon, named Pazuzu, still lurks within her.

Full Plot Details

Dr. Gene Tuskin works with troubled children, perhaps none more troubled than Regan MacNeil, who suffers from bad dreams and repressed memories. The memories she represses are of the time she was possessed by a demon. Dr. Tuskin's invention, a device that hypnotizes two persons and links their minds together, reveals that the demon, named Pazuzu, still lurks within her. It is desperate to emerge again and wreak havoc. Meanwhile, Father Philip Lamont is ordered by his cardinal to investigate the death of Father Merrin, the priest who died while performing an exorcism on Regan. Father Lamont undertakes his task reluctantly. He feels unworthy of his assignment. He also feels that Evil is literally an entity and that this entity is winning the battle over Good. His investigation takes him to Africa where he locates another recipient of Merrin's exorcising and learns something fascinating and terrible about locusts.

Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonDirector John Boorman accomplishes dazzling things with his eerie, reflective sets and powerhouse cast including Richard Burton and Louise Fletcher.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrBoorman deserves credit for trying out some new ideas, even if most of them backfire. Visually, it's fascinating—sort of a blend of Minnellian baroque and Buñuelian absurdity—but the dialogue is childish, the story is incomprehensible, and the metaphysics are ridiculous. Still, an audacious failure is preferable to a chickenhearted success. More than worth a look, if only out of curiosity.
The New Yorker - 5/10 by Pauline KaelIt would be a lot easier to buy Exorcist II: The Heretic as a mood piece if it was able to sustain a tone beyond clumsy exposition and hysterical camp for longer than a few minutes.
eFilmCritic.com - 4/10 by Scott WeinbergHow could such a sure-thing sequel end up so absolutely atrocious? I've no idea.
Empire - 4/10 by Kim NewmanA famously disastrous follow-up to William Friedkin’s horror hit.
Newsweek - 4/10 by Jack KrollExorcist II begins by looking foolish and slowly becomes a straightfaced film of the absurd.
CinePassion - 4/10 by Fernando F. CroceA glittering riposte to the original's earthbound viciousness
Creative Loafing - 3/10 by Matt BrunsonExorcist II: The Heretic is a perfect mix of tedium and hilarity, and it's easy to understand why audiences back in the day actually threw items at the screen (you'll doubtless fight similar urges).
Cinemaphile.org - 3/10 by David KeyesA 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.
Dare Daniel - 3/10 by Daniel BarnesA film simultaneously obsessed with and contemptuous of William Friedkin's 1973 classic, Exorcist II: The Heretic is crazy without ever becoming crazy fun.
