The backlash on this film is wildddd! I feel like Halloween was so much more well received, but I get it - The Exorcist is one of, if not the most iconic horror film in history. People are touchy about anything new connected to this film and I get that. Please keep in mind I am also a rotten tomatoes critic so even if you are seeing a lot of hate there are people who have separated it from the original. It’s important to have an open mind with this film. If it’s not your vibe that’s totally cool, there’s so much horror out right now so I think skip it. But if you’re intrigued in what they can do with modernising this nightmare check it out and make up your own mind.
Also of course it’s valid if you saw the film and didn’t enjoy it, we love constructive conversation. But make up your own mind 🙌🏼
You should see Ann dowd in the film mass
I have! ive spoken about it on this channel!
I'm surely in the minority here when I say, "I'm not the biggest fan of the original Exorcist". I didn't dislike it. The trailer for this one caught my attention immediately, though, and after you well articulated and downright awesome review I will head out to see it.
BTW: That is a VERY cute hat! I would even wear one. (not hers you fawking pervs 🤣). BIG FAN LOVE coming all the way from Harrisburg, PA in the USA. Please never stop!
Omg, how interesting that this is happening internationally as well! I‘m getting so much sh*t right now for liking the movie. Many comments are only saying „everybody hated it!!!!“
@@Horrorzeit We all know how to treat Horror films as art here, I think. And art is very subjective and can be divisive. It's great to see everyone showing up here rallying under the Horror banner with each of their valuable opinions! This type of stuff brings us together and we even endear via these sorts of movies sometimes. Great positive comment, Horrorzeit! Do you have a youtube channel that I could sub to?
''Oh my god, I liked that is everyone else gonna hate it'' my sentiment exactly after watching it the first time and now preparing to watch it again after purchasing the tickets for tomorrow show.
I’m right there with you.
Really? But it was awful!!
I loved it. I do not find what UA-cam critics have said, that it is unlike the first movie. I think it greatly homages Friedkin's style. The pacing of the film when the two girls were lost was a little rushed. Ellen Burstyn was underused. I would like to have spent more time with her character. This is a solid possession movie. It's one of the best produced in this franchise since the first movie. I think a clique of UA-cam critics trashed it because they are seeking validation and respect as "serious" critics, but by pandering and saying what is expected of them to say, many have shown a lack of integrity. In turn, I have stopped subscribing to a few of them after realizing they would rather gain likes and clicks than have a unique view of a movie. Who needs to hear anyone repeat the exact same critiques over and over, sometimes so similar they might have been scripted or coached in what to say? That's not honesty to me. I only want honest reviews about movies I intend to see.
@@cjmiller6741 My sentiment exactly. Who needs to hear anyone parrot the exact same thing over and over again.
i was getting anxious seeing all the bad reviews online, but i think people are just not as open minded as they say they are.
i'm happy to see you liked it, it only comes out next week here in France so i cannot wait to check it out, i most of the time agree with your reviews so hopefully i'll like it just as much!
I went to watch this movie after watching ur comment and ur excitement but my money got wasted. It is the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. Most boring 2 hours of my life
@@MusicalDatu. my comment clearly states that I still haven't seen the movie though, so why would you think i enjoyed it?
It was good to me..I’m a harsh critic
@@worldlfreewith obvious poor taste!
@@MusicalDatu.I'm sorry but anybody who claims something is "the worst thing" they've ever seen immediately invalidates their opinion to me. It immediately outs you as exaggerating, being flat out dishonest, or not being someone that actually watches any movie. Either way I don't want your opinion.
Thanks for this Emma!! Glad you enjoyed it! This makes me even MORE excited to be seeing it friday afternoon when it opens here in the UK 👍
When I hear u say "its not bad" that means wait till its out on streaming 😆
It was more the shock that it wasn’t terrible!!! I was actually a bit shocked
@@spookyastronauts But it was terrible. After watching your review, I can only assume that you were paid well to make it sound like a positive experience. I've seen some reviews at least give this movie a compliment sandwich to not sound too negative, but I think even that is being too kind. There is nothing good about this movie. There are so many movies out there, and I would absolutely recommend that people watch every other movie they're interested in prior to watching this steaming pile.
FUN FACTS: Linda Blair, who portrayed Regan MacNeil in the first film, was an "advisor" on set. David Gordon Green stated in an article to Total Film that he was really lucky to have Blair read the script, but she was not interested in a significant role or stepping back into that. He also brought her in as an mentor to the girls because they were dealing with young people and want to take them to dangerous places safely.
The first movie in the David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy was pretty amazing but the second and third ones was okay.
Fun fact? Everybody knew that. It was publicized well enough. What was unknown is that Linda Blair was there for a cameo. She might have advised the young girls, but she was only on set for about three days. It's likely filming with the young stars took a few months to complete.
I'm not rushed to discover the sequels "Exorcist Kills" and "Exorcist in space"
Hahah
Exorcist in Space would go HARD
Exorcist versus Predator 😂
Exorcist 2050: AI Possession
Thank you spooky for not shitting on the exorcist believer as Ive seen so many other reviewers do. I'm like you. I went in with low expectations and had a good time by the end. It's not a perfect movie for sure but I think it hit all the important beats very well
Ditto! I saw it last night with a few friends. One other person had a similar opinion to me, the others were all ragging on it. I come home and look on the net and Jesus H, you'd think this is the worst film in years by the backlash!
I completely agree with your review! The critics are already starting to bash this movie. I saw the advanced screening last night and thought it was a good movie. I loved how it used the tone of the original in the first parts of the film, but ended on its own new note, which was pretty good as well.
Thank you, Emma you were the first one to speak positively about this movie I really liked it, of course not as much of the original but I had a good time I think it’s getting too much hate
Movie was awesome I’m surprised at its low reviews
I think it was nothing special and nothing that stood out for a follow up of a huge name in the movie landscape. They could have done much more and a lot of missed opportunitys.
Not everything is bad about this movie, but its for me a medicore excorsism movie
Thank you Emma!!! After just hearing another pod cast dump on this movie I can rest assured that I can now go see it and be ok .. because I trust you!!! I have always been in sync with the same movies that you like .. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I’m sure I will too.. I’ll let you know♥️🎃
Yeah people are going to mass hate because of how iconic the original is, I honestly thing so many will slam it without even watching it. If that’s someone’s vibe I recommend skipping it. I hope you love it
@@spookyastronauts
People are mass hating this movie because it's straight up garbage, regardless sof how iconic the original is.
@@spookyastronauts well they slammed last president...and how did that turn out...worst 3 years in u.s history......need to watch it.
@@spookyastronautsI wouldn't have hated it if they hadn't bashed on the men who sacrificed their lives for Reagan in the original. Had that line not been in there, I would have just enjoyed the ride. But that put it all at a stand still and made me hate Chris. And I don't want to hate Chris! 😢
I've booked tickets for Friday opening night in Northern Ireland - big fan of the original so keeping an open mind - loved the TV series too! Thanks for your reviews love how knowledgeable and spoiler free they are :) xx
Thank you! Yeah an open mind is needed a lot of people are angry without even seeing it which is wild .
I'll let you know my verdict after - BTW 7/10 for The Nun II, 8/10 for Saw X,and looking forward to Five Nights At Freddy's too
The series is seriously underrated. It tried original ways to use demons. I loved the whole 'Demons taling over the Vatican' plot.Sadly Believer didn't deliver.
Watched it last night and hated it. David Gordon Green is not the right person for the job. It's very much a modern horror and that was not the vibe I was looking for. Ellen Burstyn's cameo was exactly that - a cameo, inserted Princess Leia style so people can go 'oh, it's her' and then forget about it. Bah. Appreciate your open-minded review, though!
Sorry you didn’t like it, he was a very strange pick for it - but I’m so glad it mirrored the original story in so many regards
@@spookyastronauts I can see that. The ideas weren't bad, just the execution (for me). Admittedly I'm holding it to a much higher standard, considering the namesake. I think that's fair, though.
Pazuzu dies tonight. I'll give it a chance but oh boy, the trailers did nothing for me. Most of the time I was laughing. You can't beat the original and part 3.
I tend to agree. This review might make me see it though.
Its exercisin time
I suggest anyone who doesn’t find the trailer to be at least intriguing to skip it.
@@spookyastronauts That's further confirmed that I shouldn't see it. Thanks.
@@spookyastronautsMy best friend saw the film today....he knows films and loves the original.... was actually worse than the trailer he said.
After seeing the 26% on RT and after the stunt that DGG pulled with Halloween Ends, I was actually more intrigued to see what was going on in this film and just how devicive it will be!
Glad it was enjoyable!
This year has definitely been an odd one for horror films. 😅
I just got 👍 Like 555.
Damn they gave iit a 25% 😂 yikes
25% now 😅
I’m a rotten tomatoes certified critic just so y’all know ;) . Remember a lot of people including critics are biased on this one.. it’s one of if not the most classic horror film of all time. If you don’t want it to exist you’re going to go in jaded, I recommend skipping it if that’s the case.
See, I'm in the camp that actually liked Halloween Ends because it did something very different instead of the same thing over and over.
When I saw the negative RT scores, I was hoping that DGG actually did something different with this one again and it made me more interested! @@spookyastronauts
"Pazuzu dies tonight!"
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This surprised me quite a bit, because I tend to agree with your reviews. While I didn't HATE it like a lot of people, I definitely didn't love it, either. I think the main difference is you enjoyed the second half WAY more than I did. I was really enjoying it for about the first half, and was thinking to myself, "why is everyone hating on this so much? It's good!" And shortly after I thought that, they had the first scene with Ellen Burstyn, and from that point on, the movie was just goofy. Goofy can be a good thing in horror, but it didn't work for me here, especially because the set up was so strong. I guess the bottom line is: were the first half of this movie and the second half REALLY written by the same people? It didn't seem like it.
Saw it tonight and I believe...I don't need to see it again. It has its moments and most of the acting works, but it largely tries to be too stylish and quickly paced, and ends up tripping over its feet in the process. Other scenes don't seem to try hard enough, namely with suspense or characters we barely get to know and that's all we get.
The scene of the climactic exorcism was all over the place, and I genuinely got two laughs in short succession by what was presented as a big reveal; pretty sure only one was intended. Call-backs to the original film don't work as well here as they did in Green's Halloween films, despite his apparent efforts.
Best I can give it is a 5/10. Appropriately, there was a showing of the 50th anniversary remastered edition of the original film right before Believer's session, and I relished every second of that. So it wasn't all bad a night out.
Have you seen Anne Dowd in Mass? She is EXCELLENT. It also stars Jason Isaacs, who played Lucious Malfoy in Harry Potter.
One of her best roles!
Absolutely!@@lifewithlizzie1323
Yes!!! Loved it! So powerful
Emma is the reason I watched that film! So powerful.
Ari Aster would have been the right director to reboot this 😭
Emma, my friend and I just watched it at the cinema and we are glad we trusted you 😊
I think this is the first positive review I’ve heard about this film. Was expecting you to dislike or hate it like most critics I’ve listened to. Very interesting. Thanks for this video!
I agree! I dont understand the hate its getting. I liked it a lot and felt really scared a lot of the time. I love how you pointed out all the ways this film mirrored the original is so spot on!
To me, what is most scary about the original is the helpless feeling the parent has seeing their child possessed, and I feel like they accomplished that in this film too and it's terrifying!
Maybe Linda Blair read the script and saw that it wasn't as the OG and decided not to return
I loved it. It had some issues but i genuinely thought it was an emotional movie
So glad to hear it's an engaging film. I was worried after seeing the trailer. I did like David Green's 2018 "Halloween" but hated Halloween Kills and was baffled by the weird turn that Halloween Ends took (though I didn't hate that one). So it'll be interesting to see if it's a strong start and goes haywire later, or if he manages to make three consistent, good films. But this is very promising :)
What review are you listening to? Its trending at 22% on Rotten Tomatos. It is lame on every level.
From what I hear, it's just a generic modern horror full of jump scares. I'll pass.
I don’t think there’s many jump scares but it doesn’t sound like you will like it anyway, probably best to skip
Thanks for the Review and Video 😀
Feel Better and GET BETTER Gromit
omg!! i was soooo waiting for this review!! thanks emma ☺️
I heard Linda B was on the set for multiple days. I do have a feeling that she may appear in at least one of the 3 .
That will be interesting to see since anytime she talks about the original exorcist she talks about how awful it was and that she absolutely regretted it.
I am actually looking forward to this.
You and Alice (horrorzeit) have convinced me to give this movie a chance. (don't care about all these main stream reviews anyway...) Thanks and have a great weekend 😊
I'll definitely see it but I'll probably wait until it hits the redbox.
Just curious Ema, per your rating scale you show at the end of the review, what movie would you consider the scariest?
I think I'll still be going to see this with some trepidation... the original is so iconic.
A recommendedation if you haven't seen it already is ..' Beaten to Death '... Australian film, so you probably have.
I would be keen to hear your thoughts... it's a hard watch and pretty brutal, but seen l've worse...
So glad to hear you liked it!! The Exorcist is one of my favorite movies and the haunted house at HHN Hollywood scared the shit out of me. Can’t wait to see it this weekend :)
If you like the original, this lame attempt will make you cringe with embarrassment. Its terrible
Sad to say, it's not good
I always enjoy your reviews Emma. You're a true horror fan, just like me. I agree with you in some aspects, especially regarding the visuals, sets, cinematography, but I think that what prevents the movie to become a great horror exorcism film is the storyline. The actors are good, but the film is so unoriginal, full of the same tropes that the 1973 classic established so well, and it doesn't innovate or takes chances, it's too 'safe' and not scary IMO. It needed to be more visceral. It's better than the 26% of RT, but I would give it a 57% only for the effort. David Gordon Green shouldn't destroy any other horror franchise. He already did that with Halloween...
I didn't see it yet, but, keep in mind...just because a demon is expelled from one person, doesn't "destroy" it. In fairytale terms obviously. 😂
One of the main problems with possession films is that the possessed always has to look like Linda Blair right down to the retro blue nitey. And they do it again here. Other than that, I agree with your points. Not a bad movie, but definitely not one I'd rewatch.
I’m glade you liked it.I feel there is a lot of hate going on with this movie and people are putting there expectations way too high.I am looking forward to seeing this and love this series.The original is my favorite movie of all time and I know this won’t be better,but I feel it will be good at least,or I hope 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Emma for your review. Liked it a lot and always appreciate your point of view.
Finally a positive review. Watch it earlier today 0ktober 6 and planning to watch it again tomorrow. We are in spooky season now.
I'm still interested to see this despite what people are saying. You're giving me hope lol. I saw the longest trailer first (much better than the short trailers I've seen since) so I've been looking forward to it for a while now.
Edit: Saw it last night and I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as people said.
That's good news. I'm here for a new Exorcist flick. The original has stayed with me for 40 years and I'm eager to dip my toes back into that hellscape. I also hear the original Exorcist III is worth a watch. I skipped everything after II. Thanks for the update.
Definitely check out Exorcist III. It was written and directed by William Peter Blatty, who wrote the original Exorcist novel and screenplay (which he won an Oscar for). It’s a pretty brilliant film. The original creators had nothing to do with the abomination that was Exorcist II.
Nice review! The original is my all time fav horror movie. Now I didn't care for the Halloween trilogy and once I heard Green was doing this I thought he's going to butcher the hell out of this! But...I'll wait till I see it and judge for myself. Thanks again for a great review. ✌ ❤
I'm happy you enjoyed it Emma! There's a lot of people who are going to shit on this movie. I just returned from the movie theatre and really enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting it to come anywhere close to the original but seeing all the references they make to it put a smile on my face. And based on the way they ended it, I'm really curious to see where they take this story. I have a bunch of questions too! The movie theatre had placed a big bed in the darkness at the entrance with a woman in it groaning and screaming. That was really well done.
The amount of people hating on this movie without even seeing it is wild! This comment section is toxic af
@@Jaycy845well the actual film is shitty so it deserves the backlash
@Jaycy845 I do think some of the comments cross a line but I don't think I've seen anyone in the comments bashing on it with toxicity extent who hasn't seen it....I was all for the movie up until that one scene with Chris. Then I just seeethed in my seat the rest of the film.
Thanks, Emma, you give me hope! My boyfriend and I have tickets for next Sunday and we got a bit sad by the massive wave of hate, but I really want to be open and give it a fair chance.
hi me again the person who keeps hoping you’ll finish The Leftovers!! some of Ann Dowd’s absolute best work.
Great to hear! I will definitely check this out, but I'm also keeping my expectations on the lower end of the spectrum for the same reasons, mainly Halloween lol.
Lets be honest. The newest Halloween trilogy went off the deep end and frankly took the piss. Hopefully he learnee his lesson and actually puts effort/ care into this tril. (Also i liked that 1st one, just didn't appreciate the time wasted the 2nd and 3rd pulled. So hopefully, doing the exorcist, he doesn't have a chance to do the same here)
I was completely unexcited for this movie, but now I am intrigued!
I'm glad you liked The Exorcist Belieber Emma. Justin would be proud :)
I disagree, but that's allright. It was pretty entertaining and the first hour I thought it had a lot of potential but. SPOILERS
- Ellen Burstyn somehow became magical and annoying by knowing and feeling things she could not know and feel. Furthermore, how is writing a book making you not see your daughter for 40 years. That's a little extreme.
-It had evangelical Disney like speeches, one of Ellen Burstyn. ‘In the end it is people’. And the one at the end, that were totally unnecessary. ‘Evil wants us to give up but we heal etc.’ Reminded me of the equally bad speeches in the new Halloween franchise. The power of the original Exorcist was that it didn't explain itself, but made you feel what it meant.
-The flashbacks at the end to the beginning of the movie were totally unnecessary, we saw the movie.
-The quotes that were lifted out of the original were too much based on nostalgia. Same with the priest who’s head got turned around (wink wink) and the green vomit.
-It started pretty original but in the end it seemed more and more like a bad copy of the original. The thing that did make it suspenseful was that the parents of Katherine chose, and that she died. That I liked (in a spooky way ;))
- The girl who played Katherine wasn’t as good as an actress as the other girl imo. She was over the top, and therefore not scary to me (also she seemed like a Reagan cosplayer) imo. Also the demon voice wasn’t as creepy as the original imo. Angela was played way more effective. She was the highlight of the movie imo.
- there was almost no slow progression in the demon taking over imo. One moment they were only affected in their mind and behavior. And in the next moment they became demonic.
- I don’t see how they are going to make 2 more. I think it will go down from here, just like Halloween by the same director.
All in all not a really a good movie. Sometimes actively bad imo. But it had it’s moments and I did enjoy myself. But it doesn’t hold a candle (pun intended) to the original.
Better than I thought. I’m looking forward to checking this out.
I didn’t know the guy that did the recent horrible Halloween trilogy was doing an Exorcist trilogy. I hated all 3 of his Halloween movies. I never see or don’t see a movie just because of the director. That being said, it does give me pause. 😂 I’d like to see your spoiler review of movies as well as these spoiler-free versions.
I do spoiler free chats on my patreon usually, but spoiler free is always higher in demand.
It is awful. Their attempt to build on the Exorcist is embarrassing. Bursten's arc is idiotic and sad.
I have so many questions too!!!!
I agree w everything you say abt it, but would give it a score of 3? Idk how that's possible.
The question that keeps going through my mind is, did we gain anything from the story w this film?
I really did enjoy it…I thought the Exorcism was over the Top but other than that I enjoyed the film and recommend it ..
Thank-you for giving an honest review. I, too, thought it was a good film. I see a lot of youtube critics are trashing it simply because they think they are supposed to do so. They seek to placate, and that is what makes their reviews or opinion videos compromised, thouroughly unprofessional, and ingenuine.
I guess everyone was expecting something different? But that’s totally fair if people don’t like it but it’s the way they gatekeep being an exorcist fan if you were open minded about the new film which puzzles me.
@spookyastronauts I definitely went to see the film to just have a good time! And I would have if it wasn't for that one line Chris said (you know which one I'm talking about I won't keep badgering on about it). Apart from that awful plot line, it was a fun time with some good effects! And the voice still gets me. But after the disrespect it showed the original I don't plan on seeing anything made by Green ever again. But I am glad I listened to you about it and went! Cuz I can now be one of the people who saw it and not the ones who judged it without giving it a chance.
@@filmfangirls9163 the "patriarchy" line? Well, I've looked back in history to 1969 when the book was written, and even to 1972. There would definitely be some truth to that notion, especially amongst Jesuits and Alexians, who performed the rituals on the boy The Exorcist is based upon. If that is the line, I think it's fair Chris can be grateful, and be questioning some meaning of the priests' intent. Considering the difference in perspective with fifty years of hindsight, I think it's a fair observance Chris expressed. As far as we've come in even the last couple of decades, we still aren't completely shed of old ways, old habits, even if we disagree with some of the motions behind those traditions.
@cjmiller6741 I know you wrote a lot, and I swear I did read it, but I'm sorry, that's not why they didn't let her back into the room. In the original film (which is what they are banking off of), these fictional men went against the church, broke the rules and cost their lives to save her daughter. And they did. They kept her out for her safety and trauma. Chris begged them to the house after they had already told her they weren't positive it was a demon and they couldn't get permission to perform it. But Father K finally relented when he saw how distressed she was. She couldn't even open the door for him on his first visit cuz she was so heartbroken and scared seeing what this demon was doing to her daughter. They went in without her cuz they didn't want her see what the demon had continued to do to her. And they DIED saving her and her daughter from this demon. She can't write a tell all book when she wasn't in the room and if Reagan forgot everything and she was happy about that.
@@filmfangirls9163 they did not go against they church at at. Merrin was appointed to the task due to his previous experience, and Karras was allowed to assist because he was also a psychiatrist as well as a Jesuit priest. This is in the movie and the novel.
Thank you Emma!! I really wanted to know your opinion on this movie.
🙌
Thank you for sharing. I had saw that in 2025, The Exorcist The Deceiver will be coming out 😳😳😳😳
I think Redlettermedia's review (and specifically Jay's comments) explain best what I didn't like about the movie. Anyways. People can disagree it's not a big deal. I continue to like this channel.
Same! Emma's channel is still the best. I get so excited when she uploads. Your comment led me to RLMs review (I love Jay and Mike's Half in the Bag) and I completely agree with what he said! Thank you for letting me know they reviewed this!
@@filmfangirls9163 you’re welcome!
Yeah, it's got a 24% on RT. I'll hold till streaming for this one. Glad you liked it though!
Im a certified rotten tomatoes critic too, just keep that in mind
@@spookyastronauts gaggeddddd
I'm surprised, i was gonna skip this / maybe pirate it later down the line. I actually quite liked the modern halloween trilogy, though there were definitely issues with them - so hearing that this is actually quite good, especially given you didn't care much for the DGG halloweens is a pretty decent endorsement.
I can’t believe how much I love this film. I just thought it was a perfect follow up to the exorcist. Great review Emma.
You could not have seen the original. This is an insult to the original and just an awful film. Every critic I respect hated this film, hence 20% on Rotten Tomatos.
@@Oneanddone14what you think just because you hate it, no one will like it?
Yay! Can’t wait, thanks Emma✌️
Ok just saw it. I didn’t love it but I liked it. There were some issues for sure but it’s decent.
If there’s a lot of whatever was going on in the last 10 seconds of the trailer Id be stoked to see it because the editing was awesome but if not I could care less
So exited , booked tickets a week in advance. 5 Oct release in NI
With enough edibles I’m sure the movie will be good
Yeah I liked it!
Thanks Emma for the non spoiler review. I am a huge fan of the original and seeing ‘Beilever’ Friday night (6/10).
I feel this film has been hated unnecessarily since the first trailer came out, I wish more people would please give it a chance before they hate on it - let’s be fair and review the film on its own.
The original shouldn’t be compared, it’s a horror icon and still the scariest film ever made.
You’re never going to top the “your mother sucks _____ in hell” and let Jesus -- you” when I was a kid who went to church. Nothing will ever be that dark again. I love the original and it just seems like a waste of time to even try to match it.
as an anne dowd fan - have you seen The Leftovers tv show? one of my favorites of all time
yes!
You are thr only one that has given a good review of the film...and i still can not believe it 😂😅
I like that David Gordon Green didn't use the typical 'possessions' stunts that we're seen before in similar films like this one. I thought Ann Dowd was were but I really wanted to see more of the relationship between the girls. Overall, I though the film was ok but it's getting trashed by some critics.
Whew! I was so excited, yet, concerned for this film. I will be watching on IMAX since I loved the original. I know not to compare, but curious as to how it would this would play out. Glad you liked it, gives me hope that I will as well. PS, love the Teddy Fresh hat. 🙂
I'm sharpening my knives for this one. Lol
Checking it out tomorrow night, not going in with high hopes though.
I’ve booked my ticket for Friday here in the states. Just have to see it! Thanks for another articulate and well thought out spoiler free review! 👹
P.S. I will show up for anything Ann Dowd is in. Love her!!!!!!
Great review Emma. After seeing the trailer , I wasn’t hopeful. But decided to forget I watched it and to go in with an open mind. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
Hope you like it Dez!
I love the original and even like Exorcist III.
I'm actually looking forward more to seeing Saw X this weekend. Just recently rewatched all 9 Saw movies.
I mean the Exorcist 3 is amazing! I haven't heard of any fan of the franchise dislike that film.
i watched it today i enjoyed it quite abit but i felt they was something missing but that maybe because i was comparing it to the original like the suspense wasn't really there in certain parts and i couldnt really get involved with certain characters but that maybe they wasnt a huge connection for me but i maybe have to watch again so i can get a 2nd opinion on it and inbetween when the 2 girls were missing they wasnt't as frantic as i thought they would be
Honestly having a HHN house be a living trailer for an upcoming movie is kind of genius. My expectations are low, but if you think about it, we haven’t had an Exorcist sequel that wasn’t a complete 180 from the original, so if this is soft “requel” territory, I’m all for it. I just want to see a solid possession movie with the Exorcist theme playing occasionally and Ann Dowd yelling at me lol
I have learned to never listen to non horror fans review horror movies, just channels like this
My Irish GF, every time she drinks, also brings terror & dread!
Thanks so much Emma. Got my ticket for friday🎉
I might have to go see this. I wasn't originally going to even though the trailer looked intriguing, now I might though. Thank you for the spoiler free review!
Thanks, Emma! Probably gonna see it soon!
Just saw it last night and loved it!
yeah, this is one I didn't care for. if it didn't have the exorcist's name attached to it I think it would be an o.k. possession flick. what they did with Ellen Burstyn character just baffled me.
I like the original but I'm not like a hardcore fan of it so i don't have that same emotional attachment but I was concerned when I saw how bad the reviews were for this but your review makes me a lot more hopeful that I will at least enjoy it! Also I love Ann Dowd too and if you haven't seen The Leftovers yet I highly recommend it, it's an amazing show and she's amazing in it
I have! I love her!
Great review Emma. I'll check it out. Thanks
I really enjoy your passion and enthusiasm for horror. Saying that, I never agree with you on any of your takes lol. but I guess that's part of the fun.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed this movie. I don’t get the hate for it honestly. I really loved it and thought they did an amazing job respecting the original.
I liked it. I was 13 when the first exorcist movie came out 50 years ago. I wasn’t old enough to see it in the theatre but that’s not a problem anymore lol!!
I just got out of the theater and I loved it!!
Feel like I saw a different movie to ya in terms of the music.
This one in the final act definitely does heavily rely on music
Hi Emma, I Appreciate your positive review on the Exorcist Believer, & I'm truly sorry you've received some Negative backlash from it! I really Want to see This movie, but I don't want to go to a theater Alone to see this scary film, & currently it's $19.99 to rent at home, which is too Pricey for me, so I'll have to wait til it gets cheaper, or I hope at some point may be free to stream.🤞
I'm not sure how to interpret this review. While it seemed to be a positive review overall, I get the feeling at times she was being generous. In any event, I will see it. This movie has HUGE shoes to fill; not an easy task.
Generous would be for no reason, I’m already getting hate for liking it. Watch it and make up your own mind. Some people loved Halloween kills at the end of the day.
Yay!! Can’t wait!!! 🎉
This might well tip me over to seeing this at the cinema (was very resistant due to fandom of the '73 original). Thanks
Yeah I think you need to disconnect it from the original and think of it more as a homage or love letter to the exorcist
Finally a great review
It really was an intense movie...im still digesting it. Watched and came here to see your review. All i can say now is that i dig deep in that movie...
🎵 Then I saw her face! Now I'm a believer And not a trace. Of doubt in my mind🎵
