Forget about The Heretic, this is the true sequel to the 1974 classic, helmed by its original author and screenwriter. It definitely has its own voice, though, and never tries to replicate Friedkin's direction. William Peter Blatty had a more surreal sensibility and it really shows here. Some of the jump scares rank among the best in the genre. As expected, Arrow's fully loaded edition is almost perfect on every front.
