ABOUT THE FILMS: BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, 2025, Dir. David Kittredge, 112 Mins, WTFilms, USA In the wake of box-office titans POINT BLANK and DELIVERANCE, John Boorman was granted the opportunity of a lifetime: to direct the sequel to THE EXORCIST. What followed was not salvation but spectacle, delivered with outsized ambition and surreal artistry. BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL chronicles how Boorman’s vision collided with industry expectations, turning EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC into one of the most notorious failures in Hollywood history. Through candid interviews with Boorman himself, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, and a constellation of filmmakers and critics, director David Kittredge unspools a story of creative audacity, on sprawling soundstages, through ghost-glass effects, matte paintings, African-set simulations… and a crisis that almost cost the director his life. BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is a tribute to daring cinema, a meditation on ambition, and a mournful elegy for a golden age that would pay dearly for its risks. FORMAT: DCP EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC, 1977, Dir. John Boorman, 117 Mins, Warner Bros., USA A teenage girl once possessed by a demon finds that it still lurks within her. Meanwhile, a priest investigates the death of the girl’s exorcist. FORMAT: 35mm
