* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: As WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic made sure to point out, the movie has plenty of intriguing ideas and a great visual flair. However, the nonsensical plot, incoherent narrative and the more notable fact it barely tries to be a horror movie (despite it's billed as an ''Exorcist'' sequel) just ruins any ambitions.

Having a few notable fans does not a Critical Dissonance mke. The film was still mostly savaged by critics and audiences alike.


* CriticalDissonance: There were some positive reviewers among the critics. Creator/MartinScorsese, himself a fan of ''Film/TheExorcist'', was one of them and even put ''The Heretic'' over the original film.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6_zbTXioV0 “Regan’s Theme”]] is hauntingly ''beautiful''. So good in fact that Morricone actually re-used it for his work in ''Film/TheHatefulEight'', which got him an ''Oscar!''

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Creator/JamesEarlJones' brief role talking about the balance of nature is genuinely heartwarming. His character, Kokumo, had been the possessed child who was possessed by Pazuzu and aided by Merrin mentioned in the first film. Martin had visions of him as a stereotypical witch doctor - and he turns out to be a learned biologist studying locusts.

His character, Kokumo, had been the possessed a child with paranormal healing abilities who was possessed by Pazuzu and aided by Merrin Merrin, as mentioned in the first film. (there's a brief scene where he's curing a sick child with Max von Sydow as young Fr. Merrin recording it) Martin had visions of him as a stereotypical witch doctor - and he turns out to be a learned biologist studying locusts.
