This might not be what fans expect from an Exorcist movie, but they’ll be even more surprised that it’s actually watchable.
Like with his Halloween reinvention, the film is trapped between the serious and the silly, a thinly etched tale of a father dealing with grief and faith jarring next to scenes of a demonic child screaming the C-word while spitting slime. It’s better when it leans into the latter, a schlocky night out at the movies made with more competence than most recent horrors but one that is unlikely to make a believer out of die-hard fans.

No es lo que pensé que sería en realidad es mala, pero creo que como toda la película de terror se volverá de culto y posiblemente también le veo un toque del exorcista o eso que hacía al exorcista especial

Believer is a film wherein everyone’s effort — effort to underline a message, effort to deliver a nuanced performance, effort to be visually interesting, effort to shock the audience — is all a little too visible on screen. Intellectually, I can get behind almost all of it, but on a gut level, the level where horror lives and breathes, it does very little for me.
As for Green’s Exorcist: Believer, which starts out strong—evoking all the reasons demons in search of a body to possess can’t resist the hormonal lightning rod of adolescent girls—and ends in a dumb jumble of generic-looking zombie-girl Blumhouse special effects: I’ve already forgotten it.
Fitful jolts aside, the devil trots out the old tunes wearily in this hoary and overcooked valentine to a horror classic.
People routinely label Exorcist II: The Heretic as one of the worst sequels ever made, but at least that movie was going for something. Whatever its flaws, it had some ideas and it is never boring. The Exorcist: Believer commits that sin, and so many more.
Director David Gordon Green fails to whip up even a fraction of the original 1973 chiller's menace in this sloppy, CGI-heavy farrago.
There were some decent jumpscares in this movie, like 3-4. And the ending was some good exposition though throughtout it was a little garbled and too much dialogue.
Not a masterpiece like the original, but fun and surprisingly meaningful for a watch especially if you believe in a higher power but no necessarily.

I must admit that, initially, my expectations were quite low, regardless of how professional critics have evaluated this movie. Some aspects, as can be observed, prompt certain reflections, however, my opinion leans towards categorizing The Exorcist Believer as a disaster, albeit one that could be described as a manageable disaster. It falls short of being a true calamity, but a disaster is still a very bad thing in **** its attempt to infuse an overpowering seriousness into its plot, the film appears to entirely neglect the horror element that's crucial for the franchise.What is the need to tackle subjects they don't know what to do with? This film doesn't answer that **** Exorcist Believer never gave me the impression that it wanted to be something refreshing for the horror genre, but it does try to ingrain the concept of evil in a way that is closer to horror films with a more arthouse style in a story that fails to make it believable or more disturbing. It fails to give it an identity within its **** terrifying thing about the original film was precisely that, that Regan had fallen into the hands of the demon by mere chance - yes, she was playing with the Ouija board, I know - but her possession was so creepy because of it, because it felt so random.Remember the scene where Karras asks Merrin on the stairs why the demon chose Regan? Because of hopelessness.Believer wants you to think otherwise, that there are other elements at play and along the way it becomes inoperative because it can't make them **** anticipated exorcism is rather underwhelming. I found myself literally yawning because, in its attempt to appear more "realistic", let's say less vomit and tricks, the atmosphere becomes thin, and it fails to generate any genuine horror. That's the tone it follows until the final part of the process, but at that point it just felt kinda meh.However, it must be acknowledged that the movie presents an intriguing twist in its resolution, as the outcome represents a victory for some and a huge defeat for **** this occasion, the good guys do not emerge unscathed, which adds an unusual nuance to the **** Ellen Burstyn? Well, she appears for a little bit and someone else with her. But that was just for the purpose of connecting the films, nothing more. Her participation couldn't have been more irrelevant to the events of the story.Jason Blum won't listen to anyone, well, probably maybe he will listen to the box office numbers but if they're really going all the way with the other two films in this planned trilogy, David Gordon Green should say thanks and quit as a director for them. Horror just isn't his thing.

Not scary, boring, and nonsensical. William Friedkin must be rolling in his grave.
