The Exorcist Believer Is... (REVIEW) 

Making a 'safe' exorcist film is completely the wrong thing to do after how groundbreaking the original was. David Gordon Green phones it in again

Thanks for a great review. This film feels like a complete franchise cash in on this one. The first Exorcist is a near perfect horror/suspense movie. But having a sequel is similar to Jaws in a way. "Another possession?! Another shark?!! Oh, right then"

I 100% agree with you saying exorcism and demon type movies are all blending nowadays but you can't lie the conjuring movies hit hard

Exorcist 3 was super underrated Brad Dourif was great in that movie.

At least we have the Exorcist tv series a true worthy sequel to first film it expanded the lore and mythos gave the legacy character proper send off and it introduced new characters we would grow to love and care about even wanted to see more of them instead of the usual "Where is this legacy character or its not Exorcist without this character should be main focus of show not these characters etc" rant. I wish it was given more seasons so much potential storytelling and i wished this new trilogy could have been connected to show pick up where show left off.

The Exorcist 3 is underrated gem.

Ari Aster must direct next movies. Please pass it on.

I can’t believe you only have 592k subs, you are just the BEST. You are criminally underrated. Gotta say bro, you are my favorite RU-vidr!😅

Eh. I think I’ll just go see The Creator again. Loved that movie.

They got Ellen Burstyn so that's pretty cool. I would be more surprised if you'd said it was outstanding, but I do still want to see it

Great review. The tv series is phenomenal. Excellent acting and powerful well done story. It ended so well, still wish for a third season but it ended so cryptic. Love it.

I will never trust David Gordon Green after Halloween Kills. He gutted my favorite franchise by forcing A trilogy once already. Think about how much better things would be if he only did Halloween 2018? That was genuinely A great Halloween film! The man needs to go back to comedy!

There are factors relating to the audience that were strongly present in the 1970s but are no longer the same influence. I am talking about the fact that America was MUCH more of a church-going nation in the 1970s then it is now and that is a significant part of why the film had the impact that it did. Even now, people may love the original film as a movie, but are they afraid of the devil now? Probably not! That is a key difference between the audience of 1973 and the audience of 2023. Their own changed beliefs affect the impact of the film. Thanks for a balanced review. I've seen a couple of others that trashed the film or trashed the majority of other reviewers and those are not to be trusted.

Ellen Burstyn is in the film for 10 minutes. This is disappointing. The purpose of getting Ellen Burstyn in the film was to connect this film to the original, given that Linda Blair was unwilling to appear in another Exorcist movie. So, Burstyn plays a minor, unimpactful role, which fails to compensate for the absence of Linda Blair.

The Exorcist: Deceiver is actually coming out on April 18, 2025. Not August

Easter isnt in August. Last time I checked it was April 18th, Good Friday.

Cris! Please fix the Spikey Klown Funko pop behind you! I've noticed it fallen over for a couple videos & it's driving me nuts 🤣🤣 Love your channel so much!

Exorcist: Believer Exorcist: Deciever Exorcist: Reciever

Looked at your shop and Im glad I picked up the Chucky boy T-shirt last year lol

I really wanna go see this one and if I don't like it you know they already made a legacy sequel to The Exorcist that was perfect and better than the original *cough wink cough wink The Exorcist 3 wink wink cough*

I LOVE Greene's independent dramas and especially his comedy work on Eastbound and Down, Vice Principles and Righteous Gemstones, but his horror is mostly abysmal. Halloween is a very dumb franchise, and he failed with 2 of his 3 films in that series - how he or the studio thought he could make a good sequel to one of the smartest, most nuanced horror movies of all time is beyond my comprehension.

Exorcist 3 is not 'forgettable' it is a very underated movie.

Iam 12 Years Old And Iam Watching RU-vid Videos On My Mother's Identity

Easter is in August? This is the first I’m hearing of it.😂 much love

I liked it more than what rotten tomatoes gave it I would give it a 65% out of 100

Easter isn’t in August 3C…

Regan appearing at the end to make amends with her Mom was the cherry on top.

We should give credit to Christopher Nelson who did the make-up effects and Michael's mask in Halloween 2018, Kills and End's.

True. Can’t beat the original and not suppose to. Just a good decent horror film would be nice.

Thanks for the Review So Early Chris 👍 You Always Save My Boredom 🙂 And As For the exorcist. I'm still not excited for this movie at All, It seems like a Cash Grab.. but we'll see what happens when I Watch It,

Compared to other possesion movies the OG Exorcist worked because there were no real jumpscares or speculation. It was obvious that something was wrong, and they could do nothing to help this tortured girl

Morgan Creek really should have just continued the 2016-2017 FX series. FX cancelling it was a huge mistake as they had a major hit on them and they killed it. Outside that, only the original 1973 film, Exorcist 3 (1990), and Dominion-Prequel To The Exorcist (2005) are worth seeing.

Personally I love the original and never watched any of the sequels. The Exorcist tv series was decent. I’m really looking forward to Exorcist Believer, just going into it with an open mind.

The cool thing about the production of the movie is that Linda Blair, who portrayed Regan MacNeil in the first film, was an "advisor" on set. David Gordon Green stated that he was really lucky to have Blair read the script, but she was not interested in a significant role and stepping back into that at the time. They brought her in as an advisor because the crew was dealing with young people, and wanted to take them to dangerous places safely.

They should’ve just made this new one exactly how they did but without the connection to Chris McNeil and the original film

Thank you for everything that you put into your videos for us. 😢

The next movie will have three boys becoming possessed. Seriously, an additional possessed character isn't exactly special.

I am a slasher fan as well, and like you, I think possession movies are the least appealing in the horror genre. The original Exorcist was ok to me, but I don't understand how it gets ranked as the scariest film of all time. I don't expect much from Believer, especially since it's intended as a trilogy. That suggests that nothing will be resolved because they are concentrating on keeping viewers for 3 full films.

Actually am done watching the exorcist: believer, i give it a 9/10

While I wish I was more into the demonic exorcist genre, these types of movies aren't my things! But I'm glad to hear it isn't all that bad!

I didnt think there were that many jump scares. I could count them on a single hand with some of the fingers amputated. It is a good movie. It is not as great as The Exorcist, but this is the first in a trilogy, and if what is set up pays off in the two remaing films, some critics who are tradhing it just for the hell if it are going to eat their words. They have, so many of them, lost credibility with me for being willing to placate unstead if give an honest review of a decent movie.

9:13 I was kinda figuring that. Although not gonna lie I was already planning on adding it to my dvd collection along with the original film and Exorcist 3. Also I'm building up both of my digital libraries on both Movies Anywhere and Vudu.

Going to watch this on Friday can’t wait to see how it is.

David Gordon Greene, that’s three strikes and you’re out. Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends, and now this shit.

These filmmakers have no idea what made the original Exorcist so great, so powerful, so scary. They have no idea how to create a really slow burn, establish characters, make us care about them and THEN put them through h*ll. And no possession movie has every pushed the envelope like the original Exorcist.

Best sequel = Exorcist III

I think he gave a fair, genuinely honest review. Most of the other reviews coming out on today are mixed to negative at best which is just as predicable as the storyline! But, Hell, it is Halloween season so my expectations were not high anyway! I really just need about 2 hours of a new horror movie to entertain me, & I'm good! If people need more of a high than that, I really don't know what to tell them!!!

Damn… I was hoping this one was gonna be good guess like I’m just gonna wait for Killers of the Flower Moon and of course FNAF

wait, isnt’t the exorcist already has its own sequel in 1977?

Completely agree the movie would be great definitely for the directors credit if it was just an original movie not connected too a classic

The pope's exorcist felt more like an exorcist movie than this

Great review. Watched it today and I really enjoy it and the third act

The movie trailer scares the hell out of me

I thought it was mostly crap. The script and characters were undercooked, and I have a feeling that we'll eventually find out that it was originally a three-hour script, but they trimmed the fat to include only the popcorn stuff.

I'm going to say it on all the spooky movies. It's time to make the monsters the leads. Imagine if these girls were able to take revenge or something because they were possessed. Also, those poor demons have been locked up in Hell. They just want to come up for a little fun. Oh wait, they did that in Jennifer's Body. Do that concept, but better.

"Boring?" The sequels were boring! Nobody was saying this when it first showed back in 1973. I stood in a line that rapped around the theater and up Wilshire Blvd In Westwood, back then! I never watched the sequels!

Well I just watched the movie es good but it wasn’t so scared as I was expected but well done anyways!

I find it hard to believe Chris actally saw Exorcist 3 and thought it was forgettable. It is one of the best sequel EVER in cinema history.

David Gordon Green is a great director honestly and also I don't care anyone else thinks but I think sometimes sure he did alright good and sometimes I would say I'm not hate person but I would say it's okay 👈

Seen it soon. Still excited even after this review interested in seeing the ideas you were talking about

I’m suprised with the amount of buzz surrounding this movie and the fnaf movie, you’d think blumhouse would make the fnaf movie play just in theaters too

The only worthy sequel is Part III. It's a great film. I saw the trailers for Believer and thought "Wow. This looks like ass."

I find the exorcist genre to be fading a little bit as there isn’t much of it nowadays. The slasher genre… there’s like 4 new movies in that genre every year

How do you feel about a Cabin in the Woods esk type movie these days? Not exactly a sequel or a reboot but inspired by.

I’ll wait for “The Pope’s Last Exorcism of Emily Rose’s Insidious Conjuring: Believer” for streaming.

I was literally hanging out and working with the OG "Pazuzu" Eileen Dietz from the OG Exorcist all last week!

I believe that I'll enjoy this movie and I am excited about it!!!!!

This movie has a diverse cast, therefore you should start with an automatic 3 stars.

The horror classics are still classics for one very simple reason...they weren't made to be horror movies. They were made to be movies. I mean, look who they were made by. Stanley Kubrick, Francis Ford Coppola, Brian de Palma, Roman Polanski...etc. Nothing will ever top them because horror is now a defined genre and even reboots of the classics think they have to conform to that mold.

Everytime the trailer came on and the girl says "I don't wanna go to Hell" I hear Laurie in Rob Zombies Halloween 2 saying "I don't wanna die" You could literally slap both on a techno track and have bomb movie bop.

I'm weird, but I thought Exorcist: The Beginning was a good horror movie and very suspenseful and scary.

Damn time be flying by I can’t believe I literally get to watch this movie this upcoming Friday hopefully the movie is good

Easter is in April not August...lol

4:30 was it better than Sally in the Netflix Chainsaw Massacre?

They should have given Rob zombie a shot at this movie

Is Hollywood running out of ideas why they need to reboot, remake, redo? Okay, no modern day horror can ever come close to horror/ghost films from the past. Why? Due to modern-day filmakers' penchant for overloading the senses with: too loud, too much screaming, never-ending soundtrack, cue-ing the audience when a jumpy moment is about to happen and going nuclear with the special effects. The words: "simplicity is best"/"less is more" alas, is completely lost on today's writers and filmmakers.I watched the original from back in the day and from what I've seen in this rebooted trailer, I shall most definitely give it a miss.

at 1:03 i think The Exorcist Deceiver is coming out on April 18 Chris not August 18 lol thats a Monday bruh and April 18 is my birthday too and that will be a good month for me seeing the next Exorcist movie in theater for my birthday

It's called Believer because you have to be a fool to think Blumhouse and David Gordon Green would deliver anything decent even less remarkable.

You owe it to yourself to give Exorcist 3 another shot. It's a Great film to watch just as the sun goes down, by yourself, with the volume at a good setting. It's a slow burn that brings on scares that are worth their wait in gold. No cheap JUMP scares here. watch it after watching the original Exorcist (Directors CUT) Dubbed in Spanish, by yourself. than directly after, start Part3.----your welcome

You know what they say, It’s all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.

20 Percent at Rotten! Can't believe the studio gave these hacks 2 more movies!

Review the creator please it’s such a great visual masterpiece

The goat of movie reviews

I'm not surprised how they utilized Ellen Burstyn. I guess she was a good jumping off point.

I don't think they should've made this a new Trilogy.

The t.v. show is the true sequel to the original. It was so good. Ppl slept on it big time.

Ummmm i dont know what yall smokin i was brought to tears by this movies

I think Deceiver😊 will be better.

The first one was a passion project from two visionaries and a great rest of the crew and actors. This one just feels like a cash grab, completely missing the point of what made the first one so great. Also people keep forgetting that the original Exorcist wasn't even a horror movie. It was more of a psychological/theological thriller, the writer even said the he cringes at people calling it a horror movie. There already is a great sequel and it's Exorcist 3, so there is no reason whatsoever to revive this franchise except for using the original to make more money.

Legion (Exorcist 3) is... A M A Z I N G

The exorcist believer is as thin as a communion wafer.. unfortunately didn’t make me a “ Believer”.

Going to watch this with the Boys on Friday, And No Matter if This is Bad or Good, as a Horror fan and A Exorcist Fan im still Hyped as Shit. Great Video as Always 3Cfilms

I saw it and I loved it! I thought it was really good. I was probably biased but I thought it was so good!

Blumhouse and David Gordon Green need to stop ruining iconic horror franchises.

DDG rushed halloween ends for the exorcist. I call this karma😎

I said this before David Green is out to destroy legacy movies and characters. He already destroyed Michael Myers now he’s destroying legacy characters in the exorcist and then he’s moving onto Hellraiser.

Went ahead and filed for a refund thru fandango.

We learned w/ the recent Halloween trilogy that a franchise doesn’t execute well if they announce the trilogy prior to their releases.

The reviews coming out are abysmal. Currenting riding 24% on RT

I found u on tiktok and I love your setup it’s so cool!
