BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL to Premiere on TCM Films on Film

TCM's 'Films on Film' series will present the documentary BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL (2025) followed by a selection of related films as part of a themed programming block that pairs a documentary with movies offering further context on its subject.

After the success of POINT BLANK and DELIVERANCE, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, THE EXORCIST. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman's filmmaking career... but to be an artist is to be a risk-taker. Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
