What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Exorcist: Believer earns points for trying to take the franchise back to its terrifying roots, but a lack of new ideas -- and scares -- make this an inauspicious start to a planned new trilogy.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Says

If you can resist the urge to compare it to the classic film that started the franchise, Exorcist: Believer is a halfway decent possession thriller.

David Fear Rolling Stone There are moments in this borderline incoherent mess of a movie in which fans may be convinced that its sole purpose is to try making the original follow-up, 1977’s legendarily godawful Exorcist II: The Heretic, look positively genius by comparison. Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) They need to stop making Exorcist movies. We don't need any more! Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Perri Nemiroff Collider Video A rock solid first half -- character-driven, strong build of dread, and successful at conveying the sheer terror of watching a loved one, especially a child, slip away & feeling helpless in the fight to get them back. But then it becomes a forced sequel. Rated: 3/5 Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Alyse Wax ComingSoon.net The Exorcist: Believer is not so much a sequel to William Friedkin’s brilliant masterpiece. It is a new exorcism story that utilizes a well-known character from The Exorcist to tie it together. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film In an age where legacy sequels are pumped out like clockwork, having one come out with a personality of any kind is a miracle. That miracle is twofold, as The Exorcist: Believer represents another inspired franchise revival for David Gordon Green. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Gemma Creagh Film Ireland Magazine The film poses a number of questions in terms of faith, choice, and the impact of trauma, but doesn't delve into any of them. It hops from concept to concept, from character to character, and refers to the source material in a way that feels hokey... Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

I was drowsy and missed some key parts. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Gordon Very disappointed watch. Trailers spoiled too much and very predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Lynne So, we didn't even know we were sitting in the Exorcist Believer movie there was no title at the beginning of the movie and it was freezing! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Greg Not worth the price. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review CFT Just awful. An embarrassment for all involved in the production.
