5 d. ago ‘Clearly the worst film ever made by anyone ever’: the story behind John Boorman’s horrific Exorcist sequel

After landmark flop The Heretic, the director was considering ‘immolating myself on Hollywood Boulevard’ in 1977. But a new documentary premiering at Venice calls for its redemption‘Evokes not terror but laughter.” “A movie for morons, a total cheesy rip-off that makes not one minute of coherent sense.” “The stupidest major movie ever made.” These were some of the milder responses from reviewers to Exorcist II: The Heretic, one of the most notorious disasters in Hollywood history, on its release in 1977. Its director, John Boorman, says he felt utterly humiliated and close to despair. “I considered my choices. The first was to commit suicide.

5 d. ago Forgotten Man City player faces four months in wilderness after transfer failure

Kalvin Phillips faces four months in exile at Manchester City after an Achilles injury prevented the midfielder from finding a new club during the summer transfer window.It had been expected that the 29-year-old would end his disappointing City career during the summer window, but he failed to recover from surgery in time and hasn't yet returned to full training.There had been Premier League interest in Phillips earlier in the summer, including from former club Leeds United, but ultimately, a lack of fitness meant no move was forthcoming for the England international.Despite staying at the Etihad, Phillips is unlikely to feature for City before the January transfer window opens. Although the windows remain open in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, a move to either of those leagues isn't currently on the cards.Phillips has been out of favour at City since a nightmare first 18 months after a £42million move from Leeds United in the summer of 2022.
