The Exorcist: Believer | Official Trailer

The Exorcist: Believer
Only in Theaters October 13
Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world. Now, on Friday, October 13, a new chapter begins. From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer.
Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own.
But when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia Marcum), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.
For the first time since the 1973 film, Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.
The film also stars Emmy winner Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, Hereditary) as Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles (Harriet, The Righteous Gemstones) and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon, Bloodline) as the parents of Katherine, Angela’s friend.
When The Exorcist, based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty, was released, it changed the culture forever, obliterating box office records and earning 10 Academy Award® nominations, becoming the first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture.
The Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Peter Sattler (Camp X-Ray) and David Gordon Green, from a story by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills), Danny McBride (Halloween trilogy) and David Gordon Green, based on characters created by William Peter Blatty.
The film is produced by Jason Blum for Blumhouse and by David Robinson and James G. Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.
The executive producers are Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Stephanie Allain, Ryan Turek and Atilla Yücer. Universal Pictures presents a Blumhouse/Morgan Creek Entertainment production in association with Rough House Pictures.

The Exorcist was the greatest horror film ever made, it's going to be incredibly difficult to match it's raw power and shock value no matter how many jump scares are are added to the edit

[@Amp661]

The original didn't rely on jump scares, it was pure atmosphere and visuals that made it great. I'm nervous about this one as it it seems it's going down the jump scare route

As a kid, I was badly damaged psychologically for weeks after I watched some scenes of the exorcist. We weren’t allowed to watch the movie but of course my curiosity guided me to disobey my mother and I ended up paying the ultimate price for it. I was so scared, I couldn’t sleep for several days

There’s something different about that movie. I genuinely couldn’t look at the girls face. And this is probably coincidence but my house lights started flickering at one part, and when I woke my dad up to tell him it stopped and didn’t happen again. I literally asked him “should we be watching this??” Im so glad my little brother fell asleep almost immediately because if he had watched it could have serious hurt him.

The scene where Sharon brings Father Karras into Regan's bedroom to examine the bumps on her abdomen was terrifying. I kept thinking that Regan/Demon was going to wake up, break her straps, and kill both of them. I'm not that brave. I'm not walking into any dark room where there's a demon-possessed person. Father Karras should have told Sharon to wait until the following afternoon when there's plenty of daylight. 😆

[@juliemorrison3450]

Lifelong horror fan here. I watched The original Exorcist in 1975 when I was in my early teens and I still consider it one of the scariest films ever, if not the scariest. What made it so powerful IMO was the slow buildup with a gradual incursion of evil into very real, gritty lives of people who seemed absolutely credible. The tension was rising, the setting and characters were 100% believable, so that by the time the pea soup was flying, you were all in. The problem with a lot of Hollywood horror now is that they don't take the time to build up that tension or develop the characters, and just go overboard with over-the-top, all-out explosions of supernatural phenonema in your face 15 minutes in, so that you're just numb to it.

[@laz3r583]

Amen. Couldn't have said it better myself. Alot of the problem is people's attention span nowadays. The general horror audience is awful and expects a jump scare every 2 minutes or they're bored.

[@profsherlockmoriarty]

I remember watching Exorcist when I was 10. So we're talking early 80's. It's a movie that I still won't watch alone, nor will I watch it at night. I seldom watch horror movies today because I'm not about gore and so many movies are so cliche it's ridiculous. This Exorcist intrigues me. I may go see this, dare I say in the theater?!?!?! I'm so going to need my husband there.

[@magneticstorm1]

Indeed I was all of 9 years old when the, Exorcist was released and everything about it was mysterious even the movie poster was enigmatic showing a shadowy man approaching a foggy house nobody knew what this was about, why I didn't even know what a Exorcist meant, and probably a lot people didn't either; you have to remember no Internet no Social Media no You Tube, It was all word of Mouth, I clearly remember asking grown ups what the movie was about and it was if they had seen the Unspeakable .

[@janetuss6496]

My whole family loves all horror films, so I've seen a ton since a young age. Tbh, most of the Asian horror films have a kind of subtle but mind invading creepy dread inducing factor to them that most American ones lack. I became somewhat desensitized to scary movies, but there's only one that legit gave me a nightmare when I went to bed that night, which is very abnormal for me as I never have nightmares. It's a Japanese film called Kairo, one scene in particular caused my nightmare. The channel Spikima Movies even made a video essay about that one scene, it's called Kairo Anatomy of the Scariest Scene Ever.

[@anthonycompiccia2498]

Yea I agree

[@lay10vids]

To have Ellen Burnstyn return to her role as Chris MacNeil 50 years later at 90 years old is incredible. So glad she signed on to this project.

[@anthonycompiccia2498]

I’m going to see it to see her in the famous character otherwise I probably would have passed on seeing it at 90 years old she is amazing !

[@masoudrod6730]

Just some money grab scheme. Doesn't even compare with the original 1973. 50 years have passed & no matter how many demonic possession films they make each year, none will get close to the quality and the impact of the original. And let's remember there was absolutely no CGI back then.

[@evanlinden4410]

@@evanlinden4410 I’m curious as well as to where reagen is however you can just easily write in the film she is in Etiopía helping children suffering from life long effects of being possessed 😝 on a serious note why wouldn’t Linda Blair want to be part of this film ? She already did a sequel 3 years after the original then some awful comedy spoof repossessed she will forever be type cast with the role of reagen McNeil even posing nude many years ago for Qui magazine was not going to remedy her type cast career and trust me as a man I can tell you Linda Blair is beautiful but you still see Reagen when you look at her so the only thing I believe left for Linda as far as acting is to welcome roles like Exorcist believer $$$$!

[@LiteraryPicks]

Amen

[@PandianExpress]

🥲

[@matt13r1]

Amen. He would be proud to know he directed the scariest movie ever.

[@LumpyAdams]

Hopefully he passed before seeing this trailer.

[@slavetometal8529]

Yes R.I.P. But Friedkin and Blatty never did tell the world that they both got fired from THE EXORCIST 2 project back in 1976. Warner Bros. felt that their vision was weak and the story absurd. They kept it a secret for 45 years.

[@iVjiDNiTE]

One of the reasons why The Exorcist worked for me was that it was based on much older times. The tone of the film felt different and you could feel the evil lurking in the shadows even though the film didn't show anything. It just gave out an eerie feeling all by itself. It's worth noting that when The Exorcist was released, it was the first time the public had ever seen anything like it and therefore had such an impact on people. Similar to Star Wars, at the time it was the first of its kind and so it was extremely successful. This new film right away has that modern take which removes a layer of horror already. You don't get the same feeling of horror when the girl walks into the church as you do when Regan walks into the living room and urinates herself. Not saying this film will suck, I'm simply making observations and opinions. Still I am very excited for this to come out and I hope its a good one!

[@FloMaxster]

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think even with modern cinematography they could have still pulled of that eerie tone of the original but this definitely feels more like a modern generic horror more than anything. I'm hoping it does something clever to be a decent movie but so far it's not looking like it'll be anywhere near as terrifying as the original

[@krystoferbelknap806]

I can already tell this film is going to ignore every note from Blatty and try to be a creature feature (again). These studios give money to anyone who shows up with a script written from a week's worth of Adderall.

[@acadia5898]

in The Exorcist, the cameras were static most of the time as if you were frozen in fear with them and the visuals were grainy that added a lot to the creepy documentary snuff film vibe and then shaky cam when there is some tense shit happening. The Exorcist was unforgiving in terms of every beat of the story, direction, cinematography, themes, acting, writing. The Exorcist was a full force of filmmaking, but this shit is the same director of Halloween Kills.

[@Reborn8303]

I would agree with you completely. The trailer feels a little too modern. Didn't quite feel like what the original does except for that last scene was pretty creepy as F

[@MeanrBeanr]

Spot on "the modern take". (Saw it, '74, as a very scared teen). This is Suburbiaxist, too many characters I could count, diluting the storyline, the scenes the girl walking down the aisle is the new M3gan dance, now spoiled and soiled. Not a slightest reference, (except the dog fight), that I could notice, about the significance of the original excavation scene and desolate Northern Iraq's sinister feel. The now cliche Regan's original horrendous makeup times 2. I say critics will zero in on the script and the new gen of viewers will enjoy it. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just about timing and era of having tasted the original recipe.

[@rondarobins7235]

I saw this movie last week and it was good. It was not trying to copy the original Exorcist bit by bit, it had it's own evils. Entertaining and I say go see it.

[@GazzaLloyd]

Whenever I hear the Tubular Bells music it just makes me think of The Exorcist movies. If there wasn't Mike Oldfield there wouldn't be any Exorcist movies because of his Tubular Bells. Thank you Mike Oldfield for scaring us with your music in The Exorcist movies.

[@stuartbardin3164]

The reason the original exorcist works so well is because it felt real, it felt like a documentary, it was claustrophobic and centred around one room for the most part. the script and the dialogue was terrifying, language that we had never heard before. modern films just looked to digitally clean and fresh now, they don't have the look of the films from the 70s that realism that grit

[@SuperFloyd35]

I couldn't agree more with everything you said.

[@yerrrr4885]

Exactly, and also the original had a cursed feeling about it. The deaths of actors, a literal serial killer being in it, freak accidents happening on set. It was just little weird things like that which made the movie what it was and that’s something that can’t be replicated or topped.

They probably will never recreate anything like the original. The reason may never be known, but, I think it has to do with the real unfortunate things that happened off camera.

Just got back from seeing it and I’ll give it a thumbs up. Disturbing modern horror and does it’s best to stay true to the original with some Easter eggs like Doctor Sleep did with The Shining. Like Smile earlier this year and several others, I love to see the nexus points between mental illness and spiritual warfare. This film did a good job throwing it all in the pot, because it always is all in the pot with humanity. The Dark in me loves this stuff. The Light in me is still dumbfounded how all of us, actors included, especially those children, how we willingly expose ourselves and offer ourselves up to The Demon in the ways we do. That is the number one theme of the movie, and why I feel it ended the way it did.

The original came out at a time when nobody saw anything like it. There was suspense and desent from being a normal person to a depraved, possessed monster was gradual. We went on a journey with the mother through the doctor's tests and theories about what the trouble with the child was. The book was stunning in that respect. So, as the interviews with Blatty states, the film had a sort of documentary feel about it. So, considering all of that along with all of the movies depicting demonic possession, I have my doubts about this being very scary. Unless the director has done something we haven't seen before in this movie.

And even if there is one, they veer off course. Additionally, in many cases, they have too many actors with basically no pertinent purpose. They're simply there to be killed off in gruesome terrifying manner. Horror movies back then kept it simple, less actors, less commercialized production, no veering off from the original plot, and the jump scares made sense because there was suspense build up leading to them.

It just isn't the same without the genius of William Peter Blatty. Exorcist 1 and 3 are absolute masterpieces that simply cannot be surpassed by the modern style of directing and movie making. It was what Blatty DIDN'T show on screen - by arriving late and cutting early that was so damned scary. Watch them again with this in mind and you'll see what I mean. With all that being said, this did send a bit of a chill up my spine, especially when Chris McNeil showed up on screen. I'll be checking it out for sure. The way they only played a small part of the tubular bells theme from the original interspersed between cuts until the black and white flashes towards the end was very well done btw. But people just don't get that the original movie is not really about possession, it's about the loss of faith. That faith being chipped away at bit by bit, by small but constant evils, and the re-discovery of that FAITH when confronted by a terrible and nearly overwhelming evil.

[@matthewennis3591]

I agree except the fact that Blatty didn’t show much in the first film because he didn’t direct it. Much like Stephen King, he gets almost all the praise for the adaption when in fact he was just the narrative storyteller. Exorcist 3 was great, but it paled in comparison to when he had a director willing to challenge his script pacing and certain themes he had in place. Similar to George Lucas. He’s not a great director in my mind, but his imagination is amazing when he collabs with strong directors and great screenwriters. Friedkin and Blatty apart were so so, but together were a match made in heaven. One catholic, one atheist.

It was pretty good for subliminal messages and very well made considering it’s time. Although it didn’t make me hide under the blankets but it definitely caught my full attention. And as a first time viewer I was confused about the reason why the devil possessed the girl and why the priest was in Iraq. Like how did the pazuzu statue relate to her in any way (the statue showed itself again during her exorcism). Yes she used a Ouiji board but why her out of all the people probably using it? I haven’t read the book but I plan on it to answer these questions I have. And I was confused about the scratching and noises in the attic then nothing was seen up there then it was suddenly no longer a problem. Again, maybe I just need to watch it again in case I missed something the first time since it was my very first time watching it. I’m gonna watch the new exorcist movie later today with my mom as well. My mom and I looove horror movies and I often draw horror as well.

The little girl got possessed because she was talking to "Mr Howdy on a spirit board", the beginning being based in Iraq is because the Priest who performed the exorcism on the little girl was the archeologist working on the pazzuzu site in Iraq.

What I love about this movie is Chris MacNiel's determination to help other girls that went through the same hell as her daughter Regan.

She was powerless and useless fighting with the demon, do we all remember that Karras sacrificed his life ??

which is so unrealistic, especially at her age.

Umm it’s not unrealistic a mother who went though what Chris daughter did she wouldn’t wanna see it happen to anyone else she ain’t even as old as Father Time from the original who died trying to give the exorcism
