Trivia: Director John Boorman initially didn't want to make the movie as he found the first film distasteful. However, when he saw the story treatment, his perspective changed and he viewed "Exorcist II" as a rebuttal to his perception of the original film's darkness and a tale about "goodness" winning. Boorman subsequently admitted that his views were wrong and that the movie didn't work, and that he shouldn't have made it since he "denied what the audience wanted."
