David Gordon Green (Halloween) is relaunching The Exorcist franchise this Halloween with new movie The Exorcist: Believer, and we’re hearing that the official trailer will be arriving very soon. While you wait, three creepy official posters have debuted this morning. Check out all three haunting The Exorcist: Believer posters below… Gordon Green is directing the brand new sequel to The Exorcist for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek that will pave the way for a new trilogy. The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring. The first plot details we were provided with last year tease, “Odom Jr. will play the father of a possessed child. Desperate for help, he tracks down Ellen Burstyn’s character.” Ann Dowd (Hereditary), Lidya Jewett (Netflix’s Nightbooks), Raphael Sbarge (“Gaslit”), Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones), and Olivia Marcum are also on board. Peter Sattler (Broken Diamonds) and Gordon Green wrote the script for Believer, which features a story by Green, Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) and Danny McBride (Halloween). The Exorcist franchise hasn’t been on the big screen since the 2005 release of Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist, an alternate version of the previous year’s Exorcist: The Beginning. Those films came in the wake of 1977’s The Exorcist II: The Heretic and 1990’s The Exorcist III. More recently, “The Exorcist” became a short-lived television series at Fox, which was surprisingly excellent and cleverly took place in the same world as the original classic. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie...l-the-haunting-spirit-of-the-original-classic I'll personally be surprised if this is any good.....
I just wanted to chime in to let you know I will absolutely not be seeing this as I value sleeping well.
I don't think I've seen or read anything that's fiction since I was in my very early 20's that has 'scared' me at all. And I've tried. Nothing that is billed as a super scary book, manga, comic, film, that I've consumed has really bothered me. What's up with that? Can someone recommend some fiction that will scare the **** out of me?
I enjoy these kind of movies. I'm able to turn my brain off and do get scared. I'm looking forward to this one.
I read a book that purports to be a nonfiction account of the priests that were involved with the case that inspired the Exorcist, and that was pretty creepy. But if these things don't scare you, that's great. I'm admittedly not a fan of horror movies....unless you count zombie movies, which I love and somehow to me aren't horror - which is weird, I know.
Very true. Once you have things you care about, reality is much scarier. I have read and watched some weird and twisted fiction (like S1 of True Detective) that has sort of shifted my brain for a day but I wasn't scared and I always wake up fine the next day. Real **** is scary or at least creepy, as noted above. Note: jump scares don't count, and I think they're a cheap plot device. Everyone gets startled.
I saw this as a kid and it was the most terrifying movie ever, the posters looks a tad like Linda Blair...............I am always down for this
Yeah I saw the original way too young, traumatized me. I did grow to love the movie as I got older, it's incredibly well made all around. This "sequel" worries me since it's the same people that did the recent Halloween refresh, first film was solid the last two were hot garbage.....
The two movies that had the most lasting impact on me were the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I still have dreams of being stuck in a creepy house full of human bones, and CHUD, which made me walk around manholes and street drains when I was a kid.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, another one that I saw way too young. Similar effect on me, we visited the actual house a few years back, it was sort of surreal walking into that hallway where Leatherface first comes out of......
Watched the preview before Oppenheimer and it actually looks scary AF. I’ll most likely watch at home unless I’m bored, then I will go to the theater.
