Does it really warrant that much outrage? It's a stupid line, written by clueless writers. But the priesthood has historically been a patriarchy by definition. That's just a fact. Women traditionally can't be priests and that still holds true in a lot of religion. It's different from 'The Patriarchy' of society which isn't what she necessarily was referring to. She says 'their Patriarchy' not 'the Patriarchy'. Patriarcy in all senses does hurt men too tho. After all, men are the only ones who could do the exorcism. Women wouldn't be allowed to make that sacrifice in Catholicism. Only men. I love the original Exorcist, but I'm not gonna let a stupid requel offend me.

@@KarlHavoc56 It does warrant the outrage. In the original movie, Chris was desperate, completely devastated because there was no one who could help her daughter.

There is no dramatic depth because yes it isn't earned! Gordon Green does Burstyn and her character a great disservice by having her a frail old woman go alone into the room alone with the demon.

The patriarchy: In the novel the movie is based on, Chris prepares to go in with them during the Exorcism. Father Karras talks her out of it. I seem to recall they didn't want her in there because if Regan died, those moments would be Chris's last memories of her daughter, and she shouldn't be burden with that. Also, at one point BOTH her female assistant Sharon and Chris herself enter the room. Because the Exorcism was a "force of suggestion," they were advised to continue her regular treatment. Chris goes in to give Regan an injection, but the demon taunted Chris and she left before giving Regan the injection she needed.

The reason they have two girls is because Hollywood is too afraid to have just a white character anymore so they make sure they are being “inclusive” in every way. It’s in every movie and every show. There are usually a multitude of different ethnicities in such a way that it’s forced and there’s almost always a trans person as well. The inclusion is forced and unnatural. It’s ok if there is a group a friends that are white it’s not racist. This is such a strange thing and has only become really big and forced in the past decade because of politics, the media, and woke Hollywood. Movies are no where near as good as they used to be because of this crap. It’s annoying and now it’s predictable at this point. No one wants to be able to predict a movie. That takes the fun of watching it out of it. We have to boycott Hollywood and the media until they start to produce good work and choose actors because of talent and not because they check a box.

I was suspicious the second they announced they were making a direct sequel, then worried when like Halloween, it would be a trilogy. Why why why? The only decent sequel is not even really a sequel - it is Legion and the studio insisted on a big exorcism scene at the end, together with threadbare connections to the original. I am not surprised at how bad this is being reviewed, not for a bit. I agree here that Chris MacNeill should not have been interested in helping, initially anyway and to appear near the end. In her scene with Karras in the original she says she knows her daughter and she knows that 'that thing upstairs is not her. Very powerful and emotive... perhaps the father of the girl could have said something similar that would get to Chris. The studios have too much say in matters - cos it's all business and box office. As a result, story goes out the window and what you have is another generic possession movie. Why bother calling it a sequel at all - it might have been better received. Not a movie but the series The Exorcist introduced Chris and Regan in a much better way. I was surprised and bought into the idea much more.

I am what you call an obsessed individual about the 1973 movie, the exorcist. I saw the Believe version and again was totally disappointed. I hundred percent agree with your opinion of this letdown movie. You're right about the first 40 minutes, were really interesting, and then the downward motion began. They really went fast, like this movie was in their way of something david would have wanted to do instead of this movie. There was no alone time with the parents or even the church family, their pastor, and the little girl. There was no contest between the demon, (well it did not really look like a demon, I have no idea what that was, I didn't understand the entire meaning of the scene) and their parents, pastor and what have you. The exorcising of the whatever was going on didn't make sense either. What happened in Haiti, the part where they were speaking over the mother, seemed like voodoo, then during the last scene they bring in the same person to use voodoo on the 2 girls, which really did not make any sense whatsoever. Then Chris, became a self-taught exorcist, I think? and told one of the little girls, "in the name of??" just pissed off the thing, and it decided, aww, to hell with your eyes! Why?? I asked?? The director did nothing good with the Halloween trilogy, except make me wait years for the continuation of nothing but pure crap. Oh by the way, the second exorcist already has a title, it's called the exorcist deceive, it will be out in 2025, in which, I will not waste money or time going to the movies and enduring their high-priced drink, popcorn, and long as lines, when I can watch it at home, so that's my plan. Not worth going to the movies for pure crap.

David Gordon Green’s major weakness is character development when it comes to iconic legacy characters. And he never fully understands the movie that he’s making. Lazy writing and lazy directing. Halloween Kills was awful and now he’s managed to screw up another iconic franchise.

I appreciated the efforts in the first half of the movie to replicate some of William Friedkin's stylistic choices in "The Exorcist." As long as the movie remained sort of quiet, I thought it was OK. But as it descended into splatter, action and "shock," it really lost me. The filmmakers pretended they had the confidence to make a more subtle movie until they dived headlong into silliness. Honestly, the thing that annoyed me the most, by far, is the movie's complete misunderstanding of religion and the importance of one specific religion's notions (the Catholic Church; I'm not a member, indeed, I'm an atheist) to the original's success. The incredibly stupid, warm-n-fuzzy, pluralistic "exorcism," complete with a blatant dismissal of Catholicism (again, not a Catholic!), demonstrated how out of touch the filmmakers are. There is, to put is imply, zero chance that clergy from conservative Protestant, Catholic, charismatic/fundamentalist and "root religion" would so blithely agree to a circle-jerk group exorcism. Just astounding that they tried to foist that off on audiences.

I've never seen you so despondent... I am very concerned. I was going to give TEB a try but not after this review. I even watched Exorcist (The version you never saw) DVD for the umpteenth time in preparation.

The “patriarchy” line alone was enough for me to never watch this film.

Update: The Exorcist: Believer got 4 nominations for Razzies Awards, Go figure.

Watched it with some friends the other night. We all liked it. It's not a bad movie at all imo.

Was very excited when I first heard about this sequel. Decided to check out some Google reviews. The one star review posted was actually some idiot reviewing the original classic and giving it one star! It really sounds as if the director completely missed the mark with what would motivate the Chris McNeil character. She would never make any sort of negative remark towards the priests. I remember her being very thankful and almost indebted to the church and their priests for saving her daughter and for their sacrifice. It doesn't even seem that this director understood the character, what motivated her and what type of woman she was and became after her daughter's exorcism. Also, doesn't make any sense that Chris and Regan would be estranged over Chris writing a book. From this review it sounds as if the director took a great opportunity and pissed it away. I'll probably not make any great effort to watch this movie now, but if it comes out on one of my subscribed streaming services I may view it then. Such a shame and disappointment.

I might be the only one who actually hated "HALLOWEEN 2018." It's hockey, they focused on his mask soooo much it was clearly fan fiction. They treat it like the mask in the movie "THE MASK." the scary scenes were laughable and the funny moments fell flat. No offense to the films many fans BTW. I skipped "KILLS" and "ENDS" HALLOWEEN is one of my favorite horror films. "THE EXORCIST" is one of my all-time favorite films. After seeing the trailers, I was convinced, "this is gonna be trash!"

Seems like people are in an echo chamber on this. Either they're overprotective of the first film or they hated this film purely because David Gordon Green directed it. I hated what DGG did with Halloween Ends but I can separate art from the artist. This is a solid entry next to Exorcist the Beginning.

I think this movie could have benefitted from a move from my favorite anime. Basically one of the protagonists is essentially possessed by one of the bad guys and the bad guy rips out his heart so he can’t take back control of his body without dying. Doesn’t have to be that exact move but I think something severe like that would have raised the stakes from the original movie

There was a movie that came out a couple years ago. About a priest who is training to become an exorcist. During the course of the movie he finds out a dark secret about the Catholic church. At some point in their history, the demons possessed the exorcists. So each time a priest goes to perform an exorcism, he is actually passing the demons to other people.

I have to disagree with Leslie Odem Jr. being the best part of this movie. He was emotionally numb throughout the whole movie. There was absolutely no range.
