That's just a matter of opinion. I admit, if I was alive back in 1977 and heard they were making a sequel to The Exorcist, I would've been pretty skeptical. But seeing the movie would've put all my worries to rest because I think it is a truly great film. As this film proved, there were many places to go in just 4 years. Even though Regan didn't remember the events from the previous film, it still would've been a traumatic experience to know three people died and you are being blamed for it. Plus, it would be the biggest news story in history seeing as how Regan is the daughter of a world famous actress, and if she dared to try to leave the house, people would treat her like a monster and she would be an outcast from society. How she deals with the aftermath of the exorcism would be an interesting story in itself and I think the sequel touched on those issues quite nicely.
