The Exorcist: Believer moves dates due to Taylor Swift’s movie.
Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film was released, The Exorcist. It would go on to shock audiences worldwide. On October 6th, a new chapter begins with The Exorcist: Believer. This sequel comes from Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green. Watch the new trailer below.
Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom, Jr.) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett), on his own. But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia O’Neill), 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. She played the actress forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before. The film also stars Emmy winner Ann Dowd as Victor and Angela’s neighbor, Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles, and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz as the parents of Katherine, Angela’s friend. With the return of Ellen Burstyn to her iconic role, it promises to be a thrilling and chilling continuation of the classic horror story. As the legacy of The Exorcist celebrates its 50th anniversary, audiences can prepare for a new chapter that is set to terrify and captivate once again.
The Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green.
The Exorcist was based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty. When the original film was released, it changed the culture forever.
