Oct 5, 2023

One of the most anticipated movies of the Halloween season is hitting screens this weekend. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you know The Exorcist: Believer is on its way to serve you some of the body and the blood this Friday. If you somehow missed out on this and haven’t noticed the people freaking out, let me catch you up.

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“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.”

The Exorcist: Believer was directed by David Gordon Green. It was written by Peter Sattler and David Gordon Green. It stars Leslie Odom Jr., Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles, Norbert Leo Butz, Lidya Jewett, Olivia Marcum, and Ellen Burstyn.
