Blumhouse has revived the Exorcist franchise with the all-new legacy sequel, but the early reviews aren’t living up to the highly-revered status of the original.Opening in theaters this weekend, The Exorcist: Believer is the first chapter of a planned trilogy of new Exorcist films. As with Blumhouse’s recent Halloween trilogy, the new film is directed by David Gordon Green. Early reviews are now coming in for Believer days ahead of its wide release, and it’s resulted in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 24% based on 38 reviews. This number will likely fluctuate a bit as more reviews come in, but it seems unlikely the film will be able to rise out of its “rotten” status on the review aggregator website with such a low score.”Unfortunately, all our collective demon-filled fears have come to a reality with The Exorcist: Believer – a lackluster ‘new chapter’ that fundamentally misunderstands this iconic franchise,” writes Emma-Jane Betts of The Digital Fix. The film was also described as “rather muddy and surprisingly toothless” by Nikki Baughan of Screen Daily, while Globe and Mail critic Barry Hertz added that “The Exorcist: Believer still reeks of sulfur-scented soullessness. The moviegoing body may be willing, but the cinematic flesh is weak.”Related: What Real-Life Case Inspired The Exorcist?
