lots of spoilers here, but if you are really thinking of watching this masterpiece, you can read it anyway & still be shocked at how bad it is...
so i guess it takes place before 'the exorcist' or whatever & features lots of 'exotic' locales like egypt & tanzania & whatnot... i suppose they were going for the 'epic' approach...
the lead character is father merrin in his youth... someone hires him to find a small hand-sized relic (it kinda looks like that dinosaur on jurassic park that spits black stuff in the guy's eyes after he crashes his jeep in the rain)...
so anyway, father merrin goes to someplace or other in the desert & finds some sort of devil temple buried in the ground...
and i guess it's a big deal cause he finds that statue that you see in the original exorcist... and maybe you're supposed to go 'ohhh ahh that explains it'
then a few minutes later, back at the father's camp site, there is a young boy who gets eaten alive by cgi hyenas...
oh yeah, but right before that, some older guy sees a hyena and like falls down & starts shaking or something...
then the young boy's brother gets possessed for a while... but then he isn't... but then he is again...
and then he isn't again...
so the boy disappears and this sandstorm comes and there's some sort of battle going on where some tribal people are dancing around a fire & others are shooting guns at them... and then some woman has a baby with bugs and maggots on it & they hold it in the air...
then father merrin goes into the devil temple to find the little boy... who (it TURNS OUT) has been captured by the same demon that possessed regan in the original exorcist... but only this time it possesses some woman father merrin fell in love with like an hour beforehand... and the demon has the same voice...
and she says things like 'f*ck me father merrin' & all that stuff and he says things like 'I CAST YOU OOOOUTT' and then she like gets thrown against a wall & the audience is supposed to clap & get all riled up...
so i guess he gets the demon out of her & she wakes up but then her head starts to bleed & she dies...
yes, it was a sequel worthy of 'exorcist 2: the heretic'
it'll be even more ripe in a few years when the shitty fx look even cheesier
way to go renny harlin! :yourock:
