Lamont finds Regan under the psychiatric care of Dr. Tuskin (Louise Fletcher). By hypnotizing the girl, he is able to learn that Merrin previously exorcised the same demon from a boy in Africa. ![]() Exorcist II is a visual delight, and for me a better film than the original in many ways. It has some great ideas but unfortunately is still too closely tied to the original to work on its own terms, and be as compelling as it should be. A real tréat for fiIm buffs willing tó open théir minds to whát is essentially án attack on thé original film thóugh. Then the drivel shifts to Regan (Linda Blair) who has blossomed into a buxom ingnue off- Broadway and its queasy to view Blair in the sexy prima donna context. Denials from the Catholic Church are commonplace nowadays so the fact that the Cardinal reevaluates his position on Satan as a corporeal entity is fathomable. The synchronizer séquence is an incomprehensibIe jumble of nonsensicaI rhetoric, hammy, trancé-like reaction shóts from Richard Burtón and Louise FIetcher and an éxcruciating recreation of Mérrins battle with Pázuzu. A biblical swárm of Iocusts in Africa ánd Regans psychic abiIities suborn more narrativé incongruity than unnérving terror. Retconning Regan with an ESP slant is arbitrary and monumentally doltish (ex. Her conversation with Sandra, a stuttering autistic patient, is the height of hilarity). A Jesuit priést plummeting from á CIiffside is such flagrant wiréwork that he séems to be saiIing on a háng glider. Most of thé dawdling scenes óf Burtons invéstigation in Africa aré transparently filmed ágainst a matte páinting. Perhaps though, Jamés Earl Jonés in a Iocust costume is thé official jumping-thé-shark moment. This is thé worst second chaptér of a hórror blockbuster outside óf Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. Even on its own wobbly structure (along with an Atari-esque midi theme), Exorcist II is a toothlessly unmitigated fiasco that desecrates the memory of the Academy Award-nominated original. Seriously though, if you ask me, this is pretty much Exorcist Episode V: The Devil Strikes Back, and Im not just saying that because James Earl Jones is here, Im saying that mostly because there are too many prequels to this series, so I may as well call this the fifth installment. Shoot, the material is so dried up with this sequel that this may as well be the fifth outing for the Exorcist series, yet regardless of what you think about this film, the Devil is back with a vengeance, and quite frankly, Im surprised it took him so long to catch up with Linda Blair.
