Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

According to Wikipedia, some consider this the “worst film ever made” or at least the “worst sequel ever made.” Those people are wrong but they’re not COMPLETELY wrong. I’ve seen worse films this week. It’s 117 minutes but only about 15 minutes worth keeping. Boring and painfully slow. So much of it could have been montage… the travel sequence in which we get trains, planes, and automobiles. The synchronizer is a neat plot device, but gets boring fast. I kept wanting this film to be more like The Fury (1978). With Gourley And Rust podcast
