When I first saw Exorcist II, I tried to keep an open mind and wanted to like it, but I just thought it was silly, a film with a poor script, bad direction, jarring music (a rare misstep by Ennio Morricone) and unconvincing effort.

Like Demoncrat, I can only watch it as a comedy, a film with laughable dialogue, and where the sight of James Earl Jones dressed as a giant locust adds to the hilarity.

For me it was all part of the tribal stuff that derailed the film in the first place.
