After a string of successful films including “Point Blank” and “Deliverance,” John Boorman took on one of the most successful horror franchises in Hollywood history, but his sequel to “The Exorcist” became one of the most notorious flops of its time. Boorman, along with members of the cast and crew of “The Exorcist II: The Heretic,” filmmakers and critics reexamine what went wrong with this once-promising surefire hit.
