The most epic fail in movie history is getting its own documentary, because who doesn’t love a good trainwreck? 🚂💥 The highly celebrated documentary on the infamous Exorcist sequel from John Boorman, Exorcist II: The Heretic, is coming to a theater near you, and we can’t wait to relive the magic of this cinematic disaster 🎥👿. The film that was supposed to be the next big thing, but ended up being a big fat flop, is now being celebrated as a masterpiece of risk-taking and artistic vision 🤣. Because, you know, being a risk-taker is just code for “I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m going to do it anyway” 🤪.
The documentary features interviews with the likes of John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more, all of whom are probably still trying to figure out what went wrong with this movie 🤔. We mean, it’s not like they had a good script, or a competent director, or a clear vision for the film 📝. Nope, they just threw a bunch of stuff at the wall and hoped something would stick 🎨. And, boy, did it ever stick… in our minds as one of the worst movies ever made 🙅♂️.
The film’s ambitious plot, which involved a bunch of random stuff happening for no reason, was apparently a big part of its charm 🤩. And by “charm”, we mean “confusing mess that nobody could understand” 🤯. But hey, at least they tried, right? 🤷♂️. The documentary is sure to be a hilarious and entertaining look at the making of this disaster, and we can’t wait to see all the behind-the-scenes footage of the cast and crew scratching their heads and wondering what they got themselves into 🤣.
In US Cinemas Starting August 28th at The Quad in NYC, because New York City is the only place where people are crazy enough to pay money to see a documentary about a bad movie 🗽️. Opening Wider In Various Cities on September 4th, including Los Angeles, Columbus, Houston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle, and other places where people have nothing better to do with their time 📆. So mark your calendars, folks, and get ready to relive the magic of Exorcist II: The Heretic 🎉.
And, as a special treat, here’s a poster for the documentary, because who doesn’t love a good poster? 📣. It’s got all the usual stuff: creepy imagery, bold fonts, and a tagline that’s trying way too hard to be clever 🤣. We especially love the part where it says “the value of big creative swings”, because that’s just code for “we had no idea what we were doing, but we swung for the fences anyway” 🏆.
So, if you’re looking for a good laugh, or just want to relive the thrill of watching a movie that’s so bad it’s good, then this documentary is for you 🎥! And who knows, maybe you’ll even learn something about the importance of risk-taking and artistic vision 🤓. But let’s be real, you’re probably just going to end up laughing at the absurdity of it all, and that’s perfectly fine too 😂. After all, as the great philosopher, Dolly Parton, once said, “if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain” ⛈️. And, boy, did Exorcist II: The Heretic ever bring the rain 🌂.
