Ellen Burstyn returns to the horror franchise for the first time in 50 years.
Not necessarily. The Exorcist: Believer is a more elegant affair than Green’s erratic, scuzzy Halloween movies. There’s an emotional purpose to Believer; it takes a refreshingly humane approach to its subject matter. Still, the movie struggles to justify itself. Believer is in tortured dialogue with the original Exorcist, attempting to expand that film’s worldview while also paying reverent homage.
That element is certainly present in Believer, but Gordon brings in other Christian sects, along with a bit of African spiritualism. A more catholic depiction of exorcism and its attendant beliefs sounds like an interesting riff; it is, after all, not just the papists who believe that demons are out there, waiting to infect our children. But Green introduces this multiculturalism only to bat it around a little.
