BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL (2026)💀💀💀½ Documental sobre la concepción y defenestración de THE EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC (1977) que queda por encima del clásico trabajo realizado para extras de Blu-ray pero no acaba de tener un discurso sólido, más allá de ir deshojando los momentos clave del rodaje. Da tiempo a analizar alguna de sus escenas más polémicas, o qué decisiones de producción llevaron a que acabaran en el montaje de la forma en la que están, pero queda coja al ubicar la obra, para bien o para mal, en el espacio de la cultura pop.
Siempre enfocado como un repaso de los highlights de la producción y debacle en taquilla/crítica, lo que la hace valiosa es su puesta en valor del director John Boorman como uno de los grandes maestros menos valorados de la explosión del nuevo Hollywood, entrando con profundidad en la diversidad de su obra. Sin embargo, hay aún un verdadero ensayo visual por hacer sobre la fascinante mitología interna, la lógica mística y el valor esotérico de la secuela en sí misma, como rareza casi experimental del cine de posesiones. #Sitges2026
Watched BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL on TCM the other night and not only did I love it, I can't stop thinking about it. EXORCIST II, as well as its history, has long fascinated me and the story behind everything that happened with it is so much more than I ever knew. @davidkittredge
Outstanding documentary about the making and release of EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC. So much insight into directorial vision, audience expectation, studio production, and so much more.
Exorcist II: The Heretic is so controversial that they made a brand new documentary about it called Boorman and the Devil, and it's a must watch (the documentary, not the movie). Let's review this fantastic doc! #BoormanandtheDevil

Hi. This is my regular attempt to convince you that The Outwaters (2022) is not only the greatest found-footage horror movie of all time, but one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
I have never (honestly NEVER) experienced such heart-pounding terror as when I was watching this movie.
Also, this is the most beautifully shot found-footage horror flick. Just stunning.
John Boorman took on the sequel to The Exorcist and made one of cinema’s most notorious disasters.
See documentary Boorman and the Devil at Picturehouse from 17 Oct!
Exorcist II also screens that weekend, perfect for making your own double bill 👻
Best film I've seen this week - Boorman and the Devil! An *exceptional* doc about cinema history going back to the days when Warner Bros was letting filmmakers make WILD new films. It's a tell-all doc about director John Boorman making Exorcist II: The Heretic - an infamous flop.
BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is an excellent documentary about an all-time great filmmaker who made an all-time horror fail. If you've ever wished Exorcist II wasn't a thing, the story behind the movie justifies its existence 50 years later. Every film is a miracle. Even the bad ones.
