What they share
Both films are directed by William Friedkin, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Exorcist, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Guardian is
Darkness falls over a suburban home, a baby's cry echoes, a tree branch creaks, a young nanny's smile appears, a family's life unravels, Friedkin helms a chilling descent.
