good grief . why be this one made . the first exorcist movie be sheer cinema magic . the second be a waste of money and talent . this movie be what give sequels a bad name . it be not so much the act that be below standard i do not think anyone could have make such a muddled script look good . this look like it be write by a committee of accountant . ( nothing personal against accountant and i be one . i also know i have no business write a script . ) richard burton be one of the best actor of his generation . if you base his career on this movie and you would have think him a hack . he might have need the cash and therefore just sleep his way through this . i recommend avoid this unless you have a thing for pain . linda blair go on to a career that seemingly match the quality of this movie . yes and this movie be scary and but not in a good way . it be scary they actually release this .
