Boorman and the Devil

About This Movie

So, 'Boorman and the Devil' is one of those documentaries that just pulls you into the chaos of 70s cinema. It digs deep into John Boorman's career but really zeroes in on that weird, wild ride known as 'Exorcist II: The Heretic.' The pacing feels a bit like a winding road, with interviews from those who were there, capturing the essence of a production that was both ambitious and troubled. I mean, the commentary from surviving participants really adds a layer of authenticity. Plus, it explores the practical effects and how they tried to push boundaries, even if they stumbled. There’s a raw honesty in the way it reflects on failure and its impact on the industry. Worth a watch for anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes madness of that era.
