I was so upset with this film to the point where I was staring at the end credits in disbelief. I didn’t expect much, but at the same time I expected more than this. I can’t stand what they end up doing with Chris MacNeil. She deserves better.
Agree, that was ... a choice.
This is the first act in a planned trilogy. I'm curious, just what in God's name did you think the mother from the original Exorcist was supposed to do at her age_ Show up and kick the demon's ass!?
She was brought on to lend her expertise on various forms of exorcisms from around the world. She was also there to serve as the inspiration to bring the other faiths found in the movie to band together to cast out the demon, as well as inspire Victor to belive again_ IT WORKED, she served her ultimate purpose in this first movie. It will be interesting to see what comes next, considering the ending reveal! The movie isn't meant to outdo the OG movie, it's meant to stick to the roots of the first and serve as a better sequel than the previous movies. I think it does both without trying to do TOO MUCH, or copycat it. Eerie where it needs to be, ups the stakes with two lives in the balance and the nice touch of incorporating multiple faiths makes this movie better than the other follow ups! 8/10 for me.☝😊
Are people just choosing to ignore the fact that there are two movies to go and the legacy characters will have bigger parts AKA Luke Sky Walker.
@@marionhope7506agree with you. I actually liked the movie and don’t get all the hate.
I wholeheartedly object. You'd be better off critiquing Disney Films.
I recently saw Friedkin's Exorcist here in Italy in a movie theatre, fully restored and in english. First of all, what a masterclass in film-making by Friedkin and such amazing acting performances. Secondly, it works so well because it is a good drama first and foremost, of a mother unable to help/saver her daughter and a priest having a crisis of faith. Slowly but surely it ramps up to brutal and shocking horror sequences. From skeptics we all become somewhat 'believers' by the end of the film. I just can't see anyone replicating that magic again. Do something new.
People keep trying! It's hard to be William Friedkin. Thanks for sharing that story.
I don't why the producers agree to let David Gordon green and danny Mcbride do another horror franchise after seeing how well received the last Halloween movie was box critics and box office wise
I'm sure he's good at pitching to execs. I mean, his films have interesting *ideas*, even if the execution is completely terrible.
He's still coasting on Halloween being a modest box office hit for Blum.
Yep he sucks big time
William Friedkin before he passed away say "My signature film is about to be extended by the man who made Pineapple Express. I don't want to be around when that happens"
he also said he would haunt him, hopefully he keeps that promise, lol
The Exorcist 3 is considered a good movie as well as the first movie but not the 2nd movie The Heretic & the other movies. The Exorcist 3 also has a jump scare that’s become iconic.
Exorcist 3 should have been called Legion like the book, and not added the lame exorcism finale due to studio pressure.
@@jonoeschger1552
Absolutely agreed. The exorcism scene at the end feels so tacked on and disconnected.
The best Exorcist sequel is Hereditary ☺️
@@jonoeschger1552100% the finale was ridiculouse.
@@tlovehater That movie sucked big time I walked out of it.
I highly suggest u guys watch Mark Kermode's review of this film. It's hilarious because he's considered the most well known expert on THE EXORCIST. He's written books and created BBC documentaries on the film. He says about the creators of BELIEVER: "These people watched the Exorcist but they didn't understand it." When his co-host, Simon Mayo, asks him if there is one positive aspect to the film he replies, "Yes, it ended."
I’m happy for Ellen Burstyn’s big paycheck and the scholarship she got them to set up for the Pace University grad program.
Shame what they did to her in the movie tho
The Exorcist is one of the rare films I’ve seen that just gets better and better the more I see it. After hearing Mark Kermode’s HILARIOUS review of this sequel, I removed it from my Letterboxd watchlist. Whatever happened to the David Gordon Green from All the Real Girls?
We've wondered that as well.
Mark's review actually made me spit out my morning tea when he said it's a film for the hard of thinking lol.
Kermode loves The original movie to death, he never stops talking about it lol. He'll rant to the cows come home if if any exorcist movie is a rubbish pecially if it's sequal.
@@timothyw98
The Exorcist is Kermode’s favorite film…he’s seen it hundreds of times by his own admission.
I was almost hoping this film would be bad (not much of a stretch admittedly considering what DGG did to the Halloween franchise) so it would lead to a classic Kermodian rant, and I wasn’t disappointed 😂
Same for me man! Kermode just nails the review!
Happy to see Lamar Odom Jr. in more projects. He’s such an underrated actor and a fantastic singer.
Lamar Odom is acting now!???
WTF Lamar Odom can play basketball, act and sing?? 😄😄
Uhm, what? Lol
Believe you mean Leslie and yes, he is an incredible talent!
Never blame the actor for a bad script.
What they did reminded with Chris MacNeil reminded me of the cameo of Ray Stantz in 'Casper' - "Who you gonna call? Someone else!"
10 years ago I'd gone to see The Children's Hour on the West End, and we ran into Ellen Burstyn outside the stage door after we'd had autographs with Keira Knightley and Elisabeth Moss. Ms Burstyn saw us looking for a passerby to click a group photo, so she stopped on her way and asked, "Shall I take it for you?" We were astonished to see her stop for us. She took the photo and agreed to a selfie as well! For an actress of her calibre and reputation she was totally polite and unassuming. Wonderful memories
That's lovely! Thank you for sharing that story.
The scene with Ellen Burstyn (which is "the moment" I'm assuming is being referenced) is so unintentionally hilarious and unfair to her character its jaw dropping.
It is a metaphor, heavy handed maybe. Sometimes we are blinded in order to truly see. She was able to find the one thing she lost and could not see with her sense of physical sight.
We literally said "What???" out loud when it happened.
@BreakfastAllDay My theater nervously tittered and I thought it was a dream sequence at first.
Her whole character was done dirty
I’m think we’ve crossed a threshold where viewer sensibilities and savvy has outpaced Hollywood’s writing. Now there are plenty of independent or Hollywood-adjacent horror movies that are well written, but when your script has to be group-“thunk”, everything gets watered-down and tropified to within an inch of its life! And for god’s sake, can we get more than one trailer editing/sound design outfit working on horror movies?!!??! Every horror trailer looks and sounds the same!!!
Two of last two great horror franchise efforts were ‘IT’ and ‘Evil Dead Rise’. How is it that some directors can’t see what makes these franchises great?!??
I do find it interesting that the only good films in this franchise all involved William Peter Blatty, the first and the third.
As someone who recently penned a supernaturally-themed novel (still looking for its home!), it amazes me how not understanding the basics of a genre seems to be a literal virtue in 2023. Modern actors deserve decent scripts, and ideas. Not steaming piles of corporate hor$e$hit that fail to understand even the basics of what actually made the success they are trying to cash in on in the first place.
Essentially David Gordon Green watched Prisoners and the 2012 Mexican film "Here Comes The Devil" and watched The Exorcist TV Show, and decided to steal the story from all three.
He stole the "Missing Kids" section from Prisoners,
... then the "Two girls go missing for three days and return where they are both possessed by the same Demon" section from "Here Comes The Devil",
... and lifted directly the "Chris McNeill writes a book about Reagan, which alienates them from each other and Reagan goes into hiding and changes her name, and they are only reunited after a catastrophic incident" from The Exorcist TV Show.
Like it's actually impressive to be that shamelessly creatively bankrupt, like they couldn't come up with an original story?
I loved that Christy used the word "Exorcii"...
DGG got a lot of positive reviews for his first Halloween film, which in retrospect is baffling to me. I kinda liked it the first time I saw it, but then I tried re-watching it and I was like, “What was I thinking? This is NOT good.”
And the less said about the sequels, the better.
They do get worse, it's true.
It was really, really bad. I cringed throughout that film (Halloween 2018).
I didn’t find it terrible, but I also went in not expecting it to follow the format of its predecessor. DGG just can’t help but try reinventing classics. In my opinion, it would’ve been an alright possession film if it wasn’t associated with the Exorcist. Since this is part of a trilogy, I guess we’ll see if this movie was more of a build up for the second one.
My daughter is 13... so I'm hopefully we made it past the demon-possession stage. You nailed it about what made THE EXORCIST great. The slow, but fascinating build up. The mystery and drama. The writing and acting. I have no desire to see this one.
By the way...
When I'm watching my Niners beat your Crack Wagon this weekend, Christy, I'll enjoy one of those I'll enjoy one of those Dark & Gourdy non-athletic lagers! Cheers!!
Ha, I'm not a Cowboys fan any more! And yes, our kids are finally safe from Satan, phew.
I haven't seen it but I can guess what they didn't like considering they say that Ellen Burstyn isn't given much to do. Like what they did with Bryan Cranston in that Godzilla movie.
But even Cranston had wayyyy more screen time than Ellen B.
I would tell people to go watch No One Will Save You instead. Much scarier than this clunker.
Yeh I saw this last night and I was laughing more than I was being scared. I thought maybe I’ve just aged out of these but glad to hear others aren’t finding this good too
It’s a flawed movie for sure, but I found it gripping in the way people perceive evil and faith, and how it examines that faith can be strengthened through communal affirmation. How evil encourages and manipulates chaos , mistrust and in ourselves and among each other. That God gives us free will , thus Katherine’s father making a truly tragic choice.
Notice I am not addressing the horror aspects. It is the actions of the individuals and how they come to terms with the tragic choices in their lives and a closer understanding for the trauma they experienced in their lives is what haunts me. The films ideas and thoughts that evil demonstrates such horrific events to us, the holocaust, Columbine,911, the recent eruption of violence in the Holy Land in order to make us despair loose faith in our own better angels of our nature, God.
I walked in for a decent horror movie. I did not get that. What I did get was the idea, the horrible feeling that hell is that which is beyond God’s love, mercy and grace.
Trailer looked terrible. Not surprised that it is. Won't be watching but might check out Excorcist 3
William Friedkin: “(When I Die) I Plan to Possess David Gordon Green and Make His Life Hell”
I feel like the weight of the next film The Exorcist: Deceiver, is on the shoulders of Linda Blair, who was reluctant to even make a cameo in The Exorcist: Believer. I think that given the disastrous reception of Believer, that Linda Blair will be all the more reluctant to play a bigger part in Deceiver.
After seeing the movie, I didn't find it as scary as I did having empathy for the loss of family and friendship and the strength of people of different religions joining forces without prejudice. This film did reminisce about what demons do well from the first film. They are tricksters and liars, even at the cost of choosing between a human life. This film also brought a somber ending like the first film, but with a surprise I wasn't expecting because I wanted to see the movie without digging around post-reviews.
This movie lost me as soon as it started. It fundamentally misunderstand what made the original The Exorcist so special, and they made the most generic crap out of it. It’s the worst movie of the year for me, easily. I thought 3 times about walking out of the theater.
I just saw it Friday evening. And wow, what a bore. The main lead's performance is pretty good, but I had to control myself from laughing at the two girls' evil schtick. As for the old lady, from the previous installments, based on her showing in this movie, I don't know how she had managed to survive her previous encounters.
The power of the great Ann Dowd and Ellen Burystn compels you!
Go watch Exorcist 3 instead. The studio ending works fine & gives George C. Scott one of his best monologues. That movie is ridiculously scary.
Ellen Burstyn was NOT in Exorcist 2. It was Louise Fletcher.
2.5/5 It’s an annoying mixed bag. You have moments in here that work. The first act itself was good. It built character for Leslie Odom Jr & Lydia Jewett. But that’s the only family that really has any character building. The performances overall are solid (both Lydia Jewett & Olivia O’Neill deliver solid horror performances and it’s Olivia’s first credit btw), it looks good, the production value is there. But it’s filled with so many moments where i was thinking “you don’t need this” or “why is that here”. Ellen Burstyn wouldn’t have even needed to be in this for the narrative to keep going. She has a line of dialogue that almost immediately just gives a giant “FUCK YOU” to the third act of the original 🎥. There was only one jump scare that got me. You could’ve easily had it just be Leslie Odom Jr & his daughter (in act 3 you find out a detail that easily could’ve been the emotional backbone for the overall narrative). The other family doesn’t add anything to the story at all and doesn’t move it along. The exorcism itself has only really one cool scene in it but it’s just “ehh”. Universal spent $400 million to get the rights and I wouldn’t be surprised if Donna Langley (head of Universal for those who don’t know) called David Gordon Green, Danny McBride & Jason Blum going “WHAT DID YOU GUYS DOOOOO?!!!”. It’s the same creative team of the recent Halloween trilogy (which started off strong but with each film it steeped less in less in quality). David Gordon Green I feel you can sum up as a director in 3 🎥s: “Pineapple Express”, “Joe” and “Stronger”. If I had to pick a fourth 🎥 I’d say his first “Halloween”. Admittedly I haven’t seen a lot of his early work but his early work is loved by many critics. His work in the horror genre each time has them wishing he’d go back to those roots. But the next step is gonna be: “what’s gonna happen with deceiver”? Because that’s set for 2025. Will they make it? They kinda have to. The third? I don’t know. I just hope after this David Gordon Green and his crew go back to stuff that was working. And I don’t mean that as an insult but it’s just frustrating because he makes great 🎥s. His last two 🎥s weren’t that great. A part of me wants to say 3 but at least “Halloween Kills” DELIVERS ON THE TITLE. I won’t say much about Linda Blair but I’ll just say similar to Ellen Burstyn, didn’t need her.
Serious comment, this time.
Not a big horror fan, but I appreciate the quality ones.
These movies and their subsequent remakes, sequels, prequels and reboots will never have the same effect. Yes, there is a teenager just hitting 18 that hasn't seen the 20 to 50 year old original movie of whatever is the newest incarnation. So, the Exorcist, Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, Of Mice And Men, Flipper, Far Out Spacenuts or whatever "franchise", will impress them. It gets updated with 'modern" ( I say post modern) effects and dialogue. But, it's a Xerox of a Xerox of a Xerox.
America was very different in the 1960s and 1970s. It was essentially our angsty adolescence. Things were changing and fast. People were losing faith in God, in our Government, in lots of things. Short hair became long hair on men. Long skirts became shortskirts. Hippies and beatniks and other strange, alien humans were emerging. The cities were starting to become more violent. Race riots, protests, marches, assassinations. We were losing a war in southeast Asia while the spectre of nuclear annihilation loomed. The president was murdered. We were only 30 years away from the Holocaust and another 30 years away from The Year 2000.
Traditionalism, patriotism, godliness, community, hard work, dare I say benevolent "patriarchy" was the Norm, but eroding at the edges. Movies had always been censored by a moral majority determined to keep children and impressionable adults untouched by depravity and Unamerican ideals.
So.
When a movie Like Psycho or Night of the Living Dead or Last Tango In Paris or Deepthroat or The Exorcist came along, they were deeply upsetting and scandalous.
They also mirrored the growing tension, uneasiness, increasingly looser social mores about sexuality, gender roles, racial segregation.
What I'm saying is the Shock Value was stronger like going from room temperature to ice water being poured over your head.
But, we have 40-50 years now of extremely violent movies, resulting in franchises (as if they're a restaurant operation). Video games went from digital squares to first person shooters where you can mutilate well drawn human beings yourself. And the last few decades have inundated us with sex scandals, terrorism, mass shooters, unspeakable crime. This, in a culture of drug usage, broken homes, a doomed marriage rate, and less belief in a higher power than any time in human history.
No one can watch a movie about a little girl being possessed by the devil and doing and saying unspeakable things with true horror and revulsion, now.
It's a thrill, like roller coasters or bungee jumping. We have no empathy anymore. We are used to blood and gore and insanity in our movies, entertainment and even in our everyday news and families.
This was never going to be a moving film, even if it was well made. That era is over.
We are numbed.
I have a weird affection for Excorcist 2. I know Alonso always likes to say there are no guilty pleasures, but he's wrong in this case.
Bill And Ted's Exorcist Adventure
Whoever runs that hospital in Georgia needs to be sacked. They were just allowed to take their daughters even though they were in no fit state to leave! Is it normal hospital policy to take seriously damaged young people home to try an exorcism and see what happens?
The more I think about this film, the more I hate it
That is an excellent point 😆
It felt like they weren't taking it seriously, I still think Nun 2 and Pope's Exorcist are better at doing that this year.
Great review Thank you - I do wish you guys would consider doing more spoiler reviews - thanks again
I saw it today (the Lord's Day). I thought the first half was solid when it's a missing person's movie, but the part Christy is alluding to and what happens to other characters was just mean. I know it's the devil, but it was just mean, and the rest of the plot doesn't earn it. It was shot here in Savannah, where I live, so that's cool ......
Right? The first half is pretty good.
I am not planning on seeing this but I will be watching my dvd copy of the original movie with a nice bag of pop corn.
You guys HAVE to watch "When Evil Lurks" its out in select theatres at the moment. Its an Actual, Original horror movie (very rare!) with a great story line, plot, and characters. It knows no boundaries and actually has great twists and turns that i promise you wont see coming. Its a very refreshing movie to see amongst all of these re-makes and sequels. Really recommend watching this film! Would love to see your opinions on it
Thanks for the suggestion!
Saw that one the other night. It’s tragic and wild. Exactly what I needed.
Burstyn is an acting icon and Freidken just passed. This film just seems disrespectful if it is not epic.
One thing about the great directors, they make different kinds of films. They may make a horror film, but they also make dramas, westerns, love stories, comedies.
If you only make one genre as a director, likely you are a hack.
Btw, I like this cute lady.
Ha, thanks!
@@BreakfastAllDay 😍
Based on this review I will not be seeing this film
That was a weird transition to the ad break
Guys are you going to review When Evil Lurks? It is in theaters right now and some horror fans are saying it is the best horror if the year
Not sure, have you seen it?
@@BreakfastAllDay I'm planning to go tomorrow probably. It stands at 98% fresh on RT with 44 reviews counted
@@BreakfastAllDay I gave just watched it. Definitely go to see it if you can. You can actually watch it on the same day it is being shown in competition at the Sitges film festival. Very weird programming. It hasn't even been shown in Argentina, the country of origin. Very original, very dark, with touches of John Carpenter and Stephen King. I left the theater feeling I had just survived a potentially fatal car accident!
Not for me, but thank you. Just picked up my 4K EXORCIST
Gosh darn patriarchy, keeping this abused mother safe from the evil demon abusing her....
Who or what are they making these movies for??
Those girls look like the goblins from Labyrinth.
This woman misses the whole point. The mom from the Original Exorcist is like 100 years old! She wasn't brought in to kick the demon's ass. She was the catalyst to bring the other religious faiths together to cast out the demon_ She was meant to inspire. And she did that, she inspired the father to believe again... I thought this was pretty much self explainatory?☝😌
Such a bummer when the woman misses the whole point, isn't it? But we appreciate you watching.
The original can never be surpassed. It would have to be so shocking for this day and age. We've seen some shit with ISIS and the cartels. Needs to be something new and original to really scare us.
I watched this last night, and I don't know what to make of it, honestly. I've seen the original and love it to death. Now that I've seen this new one, I'm like, "Hell, might as well stick with the original trilogy, lol. I hear 'The Exorcist III' isn't bad at all ....." 🍿👌🏽😂
No it’s exorcist 3 is brilliant how have you not seen it you need to watch it hun, exorcist 3 is brilliant
I AM SOOO GLAD YOU SAID IT!!! IT'S DAVID GORDON GREEN! TERRIBLE DIRECTOR!!!!!
Think I'm just gonna pretend this doesn''t exist.
I was disappointed. I thought it was The Exorcist: Belieber. I kept waiting for Justin to come out and sing One Less Lonely Girl
If only!
Wow,really ripped into this movie. Wonder how it will do in the box office.
While I didn't hate the D Gordon-Green Halloween trilogy as much as most when you have such absolute classics like Halloween and The Excorcist you better off trying for something else. DGGreen is so much better with Danny McBride and the dark comedies.
The guys from "What the Flick"
You found us!
I watched it and it felt like it was trying way too hard to be scary and way too hard to push the Christianity beliefs on you. I think i know the exact point that lost Christy cause it was the same point that lost me. Chris story in the movie was depressing to watch cause it leaves you going like seriously this how you handle the core relationship in this franchise and why we cared about the first one.
Indeed, that was a really bad call.
It doesn’t have to be like the first one. I think it was great.
I don't understand the hype for the original at all. I have never found it remotely scary. It is always sold as the scariest thing ever, but I find it kind of hacky and unintentionally hilarious at times. Maybe you had to be there?
Horror's subjective.
I love the movie and find it terrifying. My brother saw it and couldn't stop laughing.
The SAW movies (seen 3 of them) make me laugh and the PURGE movies (only saw 2 of them) are the DUMBEST movies I've EVER seen.🎃👻
Alright, I am not catholic or even religious, but that's so stupid. I don't want to be sexist, but come on they didn't let her into room. I mean after The Heretic how bad could it be,but that's a total cop out.
I’m splitting hairs with this one… I really liked the performances, make up effects, setting, cinematography. The scene you’re talking about… I’m with you. I think universal pictures knew they were making a crappy, shitty movie. They admirably succeeded in that regard. The last act was crazy…very disturbing. I give it a. 5.8. A slight recommend… perhaps
Thanks for your thoughts!
I'm here for the $400 million BOMBA.
Chris MacNeil, once an endearing and nuanced person, is now one of the dumbest characters in horror movie history.
Did she forget what happened to the director and the two priests?
@@RorySherrardAnd to herself!!! Her daughter did unspeakable things to her. But sure, she’ll talk to a random possessed girl on her own! 🙄

It was exactly the modern version I was expecting!
The casting is utterly awful!
The story is pure garbage!
It gets stupider, the longer it's on...
I hope Ellen Burstyn got a wedge, and is now sat on a beach somewhere, sipping cocktails and giggling!
Why they decided to revamp this into such an unimaginative way is beyond me---oh yeah, that good old franchise $$$. How boring.
They should have given this to Ari Aster.
That is an interesting idea.
@BreakfastAllDay Too late 😢
Is this still PAZUZU is this pazuzu doing this or another demon there’s been some debate.
I haven't seen it, but I read in a review that it's not the same one.
"The Patriarchy" killed this movie for me 😂
I wish more reviewers would immediately acknowledge that when the original Exorcist came out, there had been nothing like it to date. Friedkin went SO over the top at that time (crucifix scene?) that of course, audiences were horrified and sometimes even traumatized. Since then, speaking of traumatic, we've had filmmakers progressively upping the ante with films like "Antichrist" -- all in an effort to shock and terrify audiences who are more desensitized every year. I totally realize that it's fun and easy (and quotable) to be snarky in reviews, but it would be fair to point out right off the bat that at this point, filmmakers would practically need to go full "Carrie" and dump green puke on audiences from buckets hidden in the theater rafters to provoke a reaction like they got way back in 1973.
DGG... I dont even know why they bothered to show the first 15 minutes in Port AU prince when it adds absolutely NOTHING to the plot. The dad could be a widower from the get go. The white girl's parents are like random B-actors and the acting from the mum is terrible. Sooo boring. I hate 3/3 of his back to back movies: HKs, HEs, Eb. Bad.
I’m seeing this horrible movie on Sunday. Thanks amc a-list! But I knew going in this movie would be awful. But is it okay to like a crappy movie? I’ve seen all of the conjuring movies. I’m only seeing it for Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn and the great Ann Dow’s and the cast, make up, and sets. But that’s it
You are dedicated!
I wasn’t impressed with this movie either or the Halloween movies that was done by David Gordon Green.
Also, ellen burstyn yelling at possessed girl and *spoilers* getting her eyes stabbed out. Honey, what are you doing? This movie is sooo bad
The film doese address people like you who are unable to connect to the messege of the film because you refuse to see through others eyes. You're making all these stup!d mindless excuses when
Exorcist 1973 wasn't just a horror movie. It has meaning behind father Karras faith. That lesson was to address those who can relate. David Gordon green took today's issues in our society .
Racial tensions, abortion, the evils in our world and threw them in your face so that you had to deal with them and come up with a choice of reflection apon yourself.
The choice that would save the life of one of these girls. The right choice, the right frame of mind by the christian faith.
The exorcist was phycological warfare. Something ever more intense when tackeld by the subjects of today. It had more material to work on then just being scary or a horror movie. It gave a messege from the current state in our modern controvercial society.
By the way i heard you say you were shown the exorcist as a kid ?? Whatever parent doese that to their kid is horrible person. You can scar and cause trauma for life. It's rated R for a reason. Parents do your due diligence.
While I loved exorcist 73, it is far from scary. It has atmosphere and it's creepy. Pea soup, and interesting uses of crucifixes, turning heads and rising beds don't make you jump out of your seat, it makes you go ewww. Plus like many 70s films it takes its time to really get going.
It's called good pacing.
You actually mentioned something that is an unfortunate product of lazy writing of nearly all modern movies: "jump out of my seat".
Movie goers go and see horrors now with the intent of putting absolutely no effort into viewing, hence tedious and predictable jump scares which ends up being nearly the entire movie content.
It says a lot when in the Exorcist there is no explanation, not even to Regan's reaction to the fake holy water.
Believer sees the need to explain everything, to the point of a set of instructions as Mark Kermode put it "for the unthinking audience"
@muir8009 Yes, back in the 70s the audience wasn't patronised. Regan not reacting to the fake holy water was the demon playing mind games, and the audience was expected to at some point gather that.
Loved the exorcist believer went to the theatre, I said to myself I won’t watch it at home so let’s give it a try, oh my I was surprised how good this movie was incredible all the way to the end .
Thank you. I do agree👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I’m gonna keep saying this, because it’s TRUE.
Horror movies ever since the pandemic LOCKDOWN, with a very few exceptions (THE WITCH, NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU) have been complete and utter 💩.
And no one can explain why.
Seriously, try naming some good horror, and they’ll most likely be 2020 or before.
The last GREAT one, was 2020’s “THE INVISIBLE MAN.”
The Empty Man
Barbarian 2022/ Smile 2022/ Speak No Evil 2022/ Pearl 2022
Isn't life scary enough?
Probably not 😂😂😂
Recent Russell Crowe movie Pope’s Exorcist was a lot of fun! Anyone else agree??
I might see this,but I feel like a sucker
Well you'll have to let us know if you do.
Everyone do themselves a favor and check out Saw X this weekend instead of this garbage
Was it good?
@@BreakfastAllDay best saw movie in a while
@@BreakfastAllDay you guys should check it out
3/10... Horrible
Vapid
Insipid Disjointed Mess
Drags the Iconic Original through the mud
They Shoehorn Ellen Burstyn in for cheap nostalgia
I'm so done with lame 'reboot, rehash, must be a franchise' dribble. Make something original please, Hollywood. I know AI would...
This film is the stinker of stinkers.
When bad things happen you become an atheist..how original 🙄
Yes...the mother of a girl possessed 50 years ago, would have been concocting and coming up with ideas on what she should have done and how to take the Demon out if she ever ran into it again...lmao!
She's not like Jamie Lee Curtis, this is a more realistic take on what people would actually do.
The 2 of you watched ot with higher hopes than anyone could've matched.
It was great to see her back, but what did you expect? A woman who has become the most powerful exorcist in the world?...lol. That's what you sound like.
i had a great time watching it.
There's no need for a 9+ minute review of this trash, guys. If you didn't see this coming after the 1st trailer, well, that's where the problem begins. I can see young people getting excited over this blasphemous garbage, simply cos they don't know better and all they're used to are silly jump scares and Blumhouse sewage, but you two are Gen Xers like myself. You can't possibly expect me to believe that you had high hopes for it. DGG should leave horror behind and go back to comedy. I actually like his work there.
How could we not review this? Plus we always to go into a movie with open minds. Thanks for watching.
it was trash movie oh my god.
