Latter in example sentence
The credits tell us this ia "a film by Peter Sasdy".In most cases this can be taken as giving credit where credit is due, but in this case it can only be construed as the producers passing the buck.This was fashined, I think, as a sequel to 'Rosemary's Baby' and a prequel to 'The Exorcist' but lacks entirely the tension underlying the former or the nastiness of the latter.
