A possessed woman with wild, wind-blown hair appears mid-air in a state of violent motion, arms flung wide, her face contorted in a terrified scream with one eye rolled back. She's dressed in a pale, flowing garment that ripples as if caught in a powerful gust, set against a dim, textured blue-gray wall with an open doorway to the left.

Boorman & The Devil

About Boorman & The Devil

After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Bros. offered John Boorman the chance to direct a sequel to their 1973 blockbuster hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history, a critical and financial failure that changed how Hollywood did business and nearly ended Boorman’s career. 

In David Kittredge’s eye-opening documentary, Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher and many more reflect on the ambition of Exorcist II: The Heretic, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
