The Exorcist: Believer | Official Trailer

The Exorcist: Believer
Only in Theaters October 13

Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world. Now, on Friday, October 13, a new chapter begins. From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer.

Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own.

But when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia Marcum), 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 the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.

For the first time since the 1973 film, Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.

The film also stars Emmy winner Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, Hereditary) as Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles (Harriet, The Righteous Gemstones) and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon, Bloodline) as the parents of Katherine, Angela’s friend.

When The Exorcist, based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty, was released, it changed the culture forever, obliterating box office records and earning 10 Academy Award® nominations, becoming the first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture.

The Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Peter Sattler (Camp X-Ray) and David Gordon Green, from a story by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills), Danny McBride (Halloween trilogy) and David Gordon Green, based on characters created by William Peter Blatty.

The film is produced by Jason Blum for Blumhouse and by David Robinson and James G. Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.

The executive producers are Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Stephanie Allain, Ryan Turek and Atilla Yücer. Universal Pictures presents a Blumhouse/Morgan Creek Entertainment production in association with Rough House Pictures.

The Exorcist was the greatest horror film ever made, it's going to be incredibly difficult to match it's raw power and shock value no matter how many jump scares are are added to the edit

The Exorcist was the greatest horror film ever made

[juliemorrison]

Lifelong horror fan here. I watched The original Exorcist in 1975 when I was in my early teens and I still consider it one of the scariest films ever, if not the scariest. What made it so powerful IMO was the slow buildup with a gradual incursion of evil into very real, gritty lives of people who seemed absolutely credible. The tension was rising, the setting and characters were 100% believable, so that by the time the pea soup was flying, you were all in. The problem with a lot of Hollywood horror now is that they don't take the time to build up that tension or develop the characters, and just go overboard with over-the-top, all-out explosions of supernatural phenonema in your face 15 minutes in, so that you're just numb to it.

The Exorcist is still and will always be the best movie. Just watched The Believer doesn't even come close. Glad to see Chris and Regan through.

[gwaggie]

i don’t think people realize what made the original movie so scary was the lack of media like it at the time. people had never seen something like that presented on screen, leading to a huge cultural impact, that today we just don’t find shocking.

[Uzernahme]

I wish that I was able to experience the same thing audiences experienced when the original first came out. It literally scared people into church, people were fainting in movie theaters.
The original is truly the best horror movie ever made

One of the reasons why The Exorcist worked for me was that it was based on much older times. The tone of the film felt different and you could feel the evil lurking in the shadows even though the film didn't show anything. It just gave out an eerie feeling all by itself. It's worth noting that when The Exorcist was released, it was the first time the public had ever seen anything like it and therefore had such an impact on people. Similar to Star Wars, at the time it was the first of its kind and so it was extremely successful. This new film right away has that modern take which removes a layer of horror already. You don't get the same feeling of horror when the girl walks into the church as you do when Regan walks into the living room and urinates herself. Not saying this film will suck, I'm simply making observations and opinions. Still I am very excited for this to come out and I hope its a good one!

RIP William Friedkin, the legendary director of The Exorcist, single-handedly the most iconic and terrifying film ever made.

[layvids]

To have Ellen Burnstyn return to her role as Chris MacNeil 50 years later at 90 years old is incredible. So glad she signed on to this project.

[stuartbardin]

The reason the original exorcist works so well is because it felt real, it felt like a documentary, it was claustrophobic and centred around one room for the most part. the script and the dialogue was terrifying, language that we had never heard before.

modern films just looked to digitally clean and fresh now, they don't have the look of the films from the 70s that realism that grit

[xiaodhanan]

You have no idea how stoked I am that they actually brought Chris back and the old theme song! This trailer is epic.

[ryanleroux]

I’m glad this is a direct sequel and not a “remake” trailer looks very solid and promising. I’ll definitely be seeing this in the movies

[TheMatthew]

The original came out at a time when nobody saw anything like it. There was suspense and desent from being a normal person to a depraved, possessed monster was gradual. We went on a journey with the mother through the doctor's tests and theories about what the trouble with the child was. The book was stunning in that respect. So, as the interviews with Blatty states, the film had a sort of documentary feel about it. So, considering all of that along with all of the movies depicting demonic possession, I have my doubts about this being very scary. Unless the director has done something we haven't seen before in this movie.

For those who are commenting that the original Exorcist was not that scary or "Saw" or other horror movies were much scarier, either did not experience this movie in the 70's or watched it on television. Watching this movie in a theater back in the day was the most horrifying experience for almost all and no amount of convincing those who just didn't have that experience will never understand, period!

WHEN THE TRAILER IS MORE SCARY THEN THE

[Catscalligraphy]

My mother saw the original Exorcist in the theatre, someone actually had a seizure while watching it. That’s how crazy it was. There are documentaries which explain the sheer pandemonium around the original. Nothing will ever come close.

[carlitosbersoza]

The original will always and forever remain the scariest movie of all times, not only did it feel real, the sets and the things the production team did to make it feel real is INSANE, like the swing camera from the stairs going up, the cold room to get the effect form their mouths, and the make up, etc. etc.

[jordankintz]

“We’ve met before.”
“Mother.”

My God, I got such chills. And the music being integrated piece by piece was brilliant.

[paradox]

The Exorcist is the Greatest MOVIE ever made. It’s a Masterpiece that will never be matched. There is a timelessness to it that Never gets dated. That period 1973 was the Golden Era Of Artistic merit.

[daniel.c]

The fact that it can still creep me out, it means something. The Exorcist is still haunting the theaters.
