With the spooky season soon to be upon us, ARROW VIDEO is delivering a batch of high quality frights – starting with Exorcist II: The Heretic, from John Boorman, the director of Point Blank and Deliverance. This visionary metaphysical thriller confounded audience expectation by delivering something unique and entirely unexpected. With an all-star cast including Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, and Richard Burton, sublime cinematography, and a standout score from legendary composer Ennio Morricone, Exorcist II: The Heretic is a daring vision, packed with the kind of bold ideas and extraordinary images that Boorman would also explore in Zardoz and Excalibur. The two disc Limited Edition Blu-ray includes two cuts of the film, new commentaries as well as a collector’s booklet and reversible sleeve.
