The Exorcist: Believer | In theaters Friday, Oct. 6
Genre: Horror
After the success of their Halloween re-quel trilogy, David Gordon Green and Danny McBride have been handed the keys to the Exorcist franchise by Universal. Like 2018’s Halloween, The Exorcist: Believer is a direct sequel to William Friedkin's 1973 original, ignoring sequels good and bad. Ellen Burstyn returns to the franchise as Chris MacNeil, who is called upon to help the parents of TWO demonically possessed girls. Believer is the first of a planned trilogy, with The Exorcist: Deceiver expected to release in 2025. Fun fact: original Exorcist star/possessee Linda Blair was brought in as an advisor to help ensure a supportive and safe experience for the young actors in the film.
