'The Exorcist: Believer' is Not a Worthy Sequel

William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” was such a singular cinematic experience, let alone a singular horror film like few others, that making a sequel to it had to seem like a truly insane prospect. “The Exorcist II: The Heretic” proved to be as hideous piece of celluloid as the original was a brilliant one, “The Exorcist III” was undone by needless studio interference which made it look pitiful for…

UNBELIEVABLE

Opening in theaters this weekend:

The Exorcist: Believer--Two 13-year-old girls go missing one day after school. Their panicked parents, single Dad Victor (Leslie Odom, Jr.) and evangelical couple Miranda (Jennifer Nettles) and Tony (Norbert Leo Butz) frantically search their Georgia suburb, but three days later the girls turn up alive.

These early scenes of this sixth Exorcist follow-up are tense and gripping, convincingly dramatizing a dread familiar to parents, but also deploying a few well-executed cheap scares. Soon after the girls reappear, they start showing unmistakable signs of demonic possesion. The nonbelieving Victor is skeptical at first, but before long he has enlisted the aid of Chris McNeil (the radiant Ellen Burstyn), who went through a similar experience with her daughter Regan up in Georgetown half a century earlier.

Act Two of Believer is mostly devoted to a rather ecumenical exorcism, with Catholics, Evangelicals and what appear to be Voodoo practicioners all participating, among others. This section falls flat. We get all the obligatory stuff--levitation, projectile tummy trouble--but none of the elliptical yet grueling intensity that the late William Friedkin brought to the 1973 film. Put simply, the second half of the movie just isn't very scary.

Part of what made the first film so potent was its harsh, judgy small-c conservative Catholicism. It seemed to suggest that Chris McNeil's wordly career and single life left the door open for the devil to take her daughter. The new film almost gets this right; it implies that Victor's daughter's yearning to communicate with her dead mom gives the demon a foothold, as Regan playing with a Ouija board invited in "Captain Howdy" back in the original.

But the kum-ba-yah sensibility of Believer's interfaith exorcism weakens this blood-and-thunder atmosphere. Don't misunderstand; I agree, on the whole, with the sentiments expressed in this movie's mild little homilies about faith and community and hope. But I don't think they're the most effective way to scare an audience. Decades ago I had a girlfiend, a lapsed Catholic, who found the original Exorcist so terrifying that she could barely stand to have it mentioned (I used to tease her by imitating the demon's voice).

The new film lacks the ruthlessness that could create that sort of reaction. Nor did I really find it plausible that these staunch traditionalist faiths could practice this archaic rite in harmony. As soon as anything went wrong, wouldn't they start blaming each other?

The director, David Gordon Green, works from a script that he wrote with several hands including Danny McBride. They were the team behind 2021's Halloween Kills, another honorable but unsuccesful revival of a classic horror franchise. The cast here is capable, with one standout--that splendid, always reliable warhorse Ann Dowd as a nurse with a relevant past who befriends Victor.

This much more, if little else, can be said for Believer: although the insolently absurd yet imaginative spectacle of John Boorman's 1977 Exorcist 2: The Heretic has its fascinations, Believer can probably still claim to be the best of the Exorcist sequels. But that's a low bar.

The devil, as they say, is in the details, or in the case of David Gordon Green's "Exorcist" extension, the lack thereof: The film's reasonably creepy first act laboriously sets up what might have been something good and jarring, only for the script to become a mishmash of barely considered ideas that mostly end up as demonic-hued piffle.

The Exorcist: Believer (2023) Review

Whenever a year actually has October 13th land on a Friday, I am honestly surprised more studios aren’t dumping more horror film releases on this day. Friday 13th is literally THE horror day, and when it happens in the month of Halloween I feel like it should be a bigger deal, and I’m not even superstitious.

Plot: When his daughter, Angela, and her friend Katherine, show signs of demonic possession, it unleashes a chain of events that forces single father Victor Fielding to confront the nadir of evil. Terrified and desperate, he seeks out Chris MacNeil, the only person alive who's witnessed anything like it before.

I have seen the original Exorcist twice in my life. The first was when I was very young and all I recalled from that experience was seeing a little girl vomiting and being overly creepy. The second was actually recently only a couple of weeks ago, and this time around I managed to actually appreciate how stylistically unsettling director William Friedkin managed to make that original horror release. From the consistent feeling of dread that spreads throughout each moment - it’s truly horrific. Though I myself don’t get scared when watching horror films, which most likely is due to me having analysed that art of film for so many years that I have now lost that magical sense of escapism, which is a tragedy in itself and one that I shall hold upon my shoulders for the rest of my life and I accept that, but with said that, even I can admit that The Exorcist is a masterful piece of demonic horror, and one that feels so wrong to watch. Not in that it is a bad movie, but more so that we are breaking the mould of nature and are bearing witness to something that should not be shown.

There have been multiple sequels that have followed the original, none of which I have the interest in seeing, however the new The Exorcist: Believer comes from director David Gordon-Green who did a solid job rebooting the Halloween franchise (at least with his first entry) and has also previously excelled on the indie market with his small budget thrillers, including Joe where he worked with Nicolas Cage, and look, I’m always willing to give anyone a shot after they worked with the greatness that is the Cage Man! Additionally this new Exorcist comes with a lot at stake, with Universal supposedly cashing out a whopping $400 million on the rights (like what the actual fudge??), with having major plans to spawn multiple sequels and even billing this new one as a direct sequel to the original film with the return of Ellen Burstyn as Chris MacNeil, who if you recall was the mother of the original possessed girl. Honestly, I am scratching my head as to what came through the minds of the producers to spend so much money on the rights - it’s such a massive gamble. Then again, it was only a few years back that Netflix completed a similar purchase with the rights to those Benoit Blanc-centred Knives Out films, and of course we don’t hear much about the success rate of the Netflix algorithm as they profits aren’t reliant upon box office numbers, but seemingly the streaming viewership for Glass Onion paid off. I think. Who knows? Regardless, a triple figure million pay out for movie rights is astonishingly crazy. At the very least one would hope the movie ends up being decent.

Right from the bat I’d say it is not fair to compare Believer to the original Exorcist, as it was never going to replicate the original’s shock value. But due to the connective story beats and the shared title it is hard not to. But judging the film on its own merit - it’s okay. I didn’t find it to be particularly scary nor shocking, and the creepier moments from the trailer in the movie lose that value. It’s visually solid, even though the over reliance on CGI took away from the horror. Again, not wanting to constantly harken back to the original, but that movie excelled by managing to show something so terrifying in such a simplistic way. Probably helped that back then they didn’t have the technology to go bigger, but the simpler effects back then actually benefited in showcasing fear in such a brutal way. With Believer, we’re treading all too familiar ground, with the only new aspect being that instead of one possessed girl there are two. I must add, Lidya Jewett and Olivia O’Neill do really throw themselves into the madness of playing the two possessed girls and should be applauded for that as they did well. Leslie Odom Jr. and Ann Dowd as the ones trying to stop the demons are alright. Both are talented actors, but they are not given enough material to work with. What else….the music is good. The play on the original piano notes and accompanying score was solid, certain cinematography shot were done well. But overall it’s a by-the-numbers supernatural possession flick.

Now in regard to the connection to the original movie - it’s very silly. Ellen Burstyn’s return is a waste. For those excited to see her, she’s only in 3 or 4 scenes total, and the creative choices made with her character are such a disservice to the original movie. Without spoiling, it’s a choice that seems to be inspired by the modern woke culture, with Burstyn’s Chris having being studying the art of exorcism ever since the events that transpired with her daughter, and then when questioned about why she herself did not partake in her daughter’s exorcism she blames the patriarchy. The choice of bringing her into this narrative and then what happens to her…it’s basically taking a classic character and making them dumb. I must say though that the only actual shocking moment in the movie comes in a scene involving her character, and though that moment itself is memorable, the build up towards it is so stupid. Also, with the return of Burstyn it comes as no surprise within the movie when a certain other character pops in for a cameo. Does it add anything to the movie’s story? No, it’s just there for cheap fan service.

Overall The Exorcist: Believer is very disappointing in that it does not offer many frights, the story is as generic as they come, the connections to the original are wasteful and as a whole, this movie doesn’t have much to offer. I’ll give it that, I was never actually bored during the film - it runs at a decent pace with enough going on to keep one’s attention, but let’s be honest, this isn’t a movie that will stick in one’s memory. The power of this one is not that compelling.

Overall score: 3/10

CLICK THE LINK ABOVE FOR THE FULL REVIEW

THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER pretty much met all of my low expectations, not doing much in adding to the legacy of an iconic horror film from fifty years ago. The film is kind of dull for the most part, as it's not scary nor does it have tension or suspense. The exorcism portion feels like a watered down version of what we’ve seen before [in this franchise and other exorcism movies] despite having more characters involved. There are subplots that pop up in the final half that could have elevated this movie, but are rushed through without leaving much of an impact or excitement for the next installment. David Gordon Green’s direction isn’t all that different from what he did with his HALLOWEEN trilogy, even if the cinematography is quite nice. And the use of Ellen Burstyn - the less said about it, the better.

That being said, the acting is quite good - in particular Leslie Odom Jr, the two possessed girls [Lidya Jewett and Olivia Marcum] and Ann Dowd as a nurse with a past. The first half, which plays out like a true crime/missing persons type of movie, is actually quite compelling as it builds character development and sets up for what’s to come. And as I mentioned, the look of the film is nice.

Other than that, THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER isn’t the best possession movie of 2023. Hell, it’s not even the best film with the word “Exorcist” in the title this year [hey Russell Crowe]. I don’t think this is the worst film in the franchise, but at least EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC had balls. Maybe David Gordon Green or whoever could add some for THE EXORCIST: DECEIVER in 2025. The power of Christ doesn’t compel me to be excited for whatever comes next. What a shame.

Watching THE EXORCIST BELIEVER

Because of David Gordon Green's uneven Halloween trilogy, I wasn't expecting much from his newest 70s reboot.

Didn't get much. Thoroughly generic exorcism/possession movie that just happens to share a title with, you know. A Muppet Babies cover of one of the greatest horror movies of all...you know the rest.

The Exorcist Tv series that lasted 2 seasons before it was canceled was a lot more affecting than this.

Didn't hate it, mainly due to cratered expectation but it stays a Meh-xorcist until its probable sequel unless it tanks at the box-office.

Until then I guess we'll all have to wait in eager anticipation for David Gordon Green to put in a Violent Marching Band to fight Pazuzu which is totally a serious thing and not at all derisively hilarious.

"PAZUZU DIES TONIGHT" Repeat 400 times.
