Exorcist II: The Heretic
It's four years later... What does she remember?
Directed by John Boorman
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A surreal, audacious supernatural horror sequel that blends religious inquiry with dreamlike strangeness, oscillating between earnest faith-based investigation and bizarre, almost campy spectacle.
Bizarre nightmares plague Regan MacNeil four years after her possession and exorcism. Has the demon returned? And if so, can the combined faith and knowledge of a Vatican investigator and a research specialist free her from its grasp?
