What would've made Exorcist 2 way better than what we have?


Does anyone have their own story ideas and what they would've liked to have the sequel be?

reply

Impossible for me to imagine.

Part 3 should have been the sequel ! .... Its totally underrated !

I think the Exorcist 3 was pretty much the true sequel.

Exorcist 2 on the other hand, while a bad movie, I wouldn't change it at all!

reply

I wouldn't either, I love it's unintentional badness! It's so entertaining in a bad way lol. Pazuzu sounds like he's trippin' on Angel Dust during the African landscape scenes! At the same time I can't help but think what could've been if Friedkin and Blatty had made Exorcist 2 instead. Exorcist 3 was the only legit sequel IMO but the others are entertaining at least.

Yeah. It's one of the more memorable bad movies I've seen. It's unique, I'll give it that.

A director who didn't see it as beneath him for one thing. I just ignore the sequel, Exorcist III is the only follow up in my eyes.
