The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
It’s been a little over 50 years since the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world and becoming the first horror nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
Now Blumhouse (Get Out) and director David Gordon Green (who resurrected the Halloween franchise) deliver The Exorcist: Believer.
Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding has raised their daughter, Angela, on his own. When Angela and her friend Katherine 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 evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.
Oscar nominee Leslie Odom, Jr (Hamilton) stars as Victor, with Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn returning to her iconic role as Chris MacNeil for the first time. Also look out for Lidya Jewett (Good Girls, Hidden Figures) as Angela and the likes of Emmy winner Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, Hereditary) among the support cast.
