Directed by David Gordon Green
Here's what I like and do not like about the Exorcist: Believer on point form.
What I LIKED about The Exorcist: Believer
- The 2 girls, Angela( Lidya Jewett) and Katherine(Olivia O' Neill). Good acting especially Lidya.
- It was nice to see Ellen Burstyn back as Chris O' Neil. She has aged well but sadly it's an utterly useless role and from what I read, she only came back for the money cos they doubled her salary and she used her slary to fund scholarships for actors or some shit.
- It was also nice to see Linda Blair back and there is a high chance she will have a bigger role for the sequel.
- The plot twist at the end. Where the parents had to "choose". I thought that idea was pretty cool.
- Subtle tribute lines from the Exorcist.
- The director. Fuck him.
- At one point of time, everyone became a fucking Exorcist. It was like an Exorcists R' Us. What the fuck was going on? Nobody knew.
- It got way too Jesusy. Jesus this, Jesus that.
- The parents. They deserve to die. Horrible acting.
- The whole going to church to ask for an exorcism scene is a waste of fucking time.
- The idiot priest in the car who comes in later dramatically was just laughable.
- The whole voodoo Jesus thing with the black lady priestess was utter rubbish and useless.
- There is a high chance this is going to be a trilogy even if this movie bombs in the box office.
- Chris O' Neil returning is completely useless.
- The slow build up amounts to nothing and pretty much insults you as the audience towards the end.
- The audio is really soft and you do need to have English subs.
- This movie is now a direct sequel which erases Heretic and Exorcist 3. I still believe Exorcist 3 is really good and a proper sequel. Heretic, Believer and the prequels all can FOAD.
