One of the most anticipated upcoming horror movies has to be co-writer/director David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer. A direct sequel to William Friedkin’s 1973 classic, Green is taking the same strategy he applied to his Halloween trilogy, crafting a new vision of terror that continues a legacy franchise. Judging by what’s been shown in this trailer, and the nods it contains to the original picture, I’m totally sold on what I’ve seen.
Naturally, the first look at the next Universal horror saga is pretty vague in what it’s showing. October’s still far enough that more teases could, and probably will, be on the way. It should also be noted that this footage matches the description our own Eric Eisenberg provided from The Exorcist sequel's CinemaCon panel earlier this year. The basics are enough to still be considered chilling, as this time two young girls (Lidya Jewett and Olivia Marcum) under possession, making for a double front of terror.
