The Exorcist: Believer Movie Review by Connor Petrey

October 20, 2023 9:22 am |

The Exorcist: Believer is a plain film in both its intention and its execution. Green’s attempt to connect this mediocre exorcism film with the 1973 horror classic is a miserable farce. Where the film’s trailers were horribly edited with quick cuts to showcase the possession, the film itself is much more static and while there...
