Here's what critics are saying about The Exorcist: Believer.
The power of The Exorcist: Believer is anything but compelling, according to the first reactions from critics. David Gordon Green, who directed Blumhouse's Halloween reboot trilogy, revives The Exorcist franchise with the 50-years-later sequel to William Friedkin's original 1973 horror classic.
The new Exorcist movie follows Victor Fielding , who has raised his daughter, Angela , on his own after the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years earlier.
RogerEbert.com:"The Exorcist: Believer is a pretty good movie that's so stuffed with characters and not-quite-developed ideas that you may come away from it thinking about what it could have been instead... It's probably the first Exorcist sequel since 1977's fitfully brilliant Exorcist II: The Heretic to capture the persistent sense of the uncanny that made William Friedkin's first entry in the series a smash hit.
Variety:"The standard Exorcist retread delivers the trappings — girl with mottled skin and purple scarred lips writhing in her nightgown, disembodied Beelzebub voice, the whole dark-side-of-ecclesiastical-kitsch head trip — in a way that now feels nearly as ritualized as an exorcism.
