What The Exorcist Trailer Reveals About The Movie

Similar to its predecessor, the Exorcist: Believer trailer, the latest preview showcases Green's sequel capturing the essence of the original film while contemporizing and revitalizing the narrative in various significant ways.

Additionally, The Exorcist: Believer trailer offers numerous nods and tributes to Friedkin's original film, including expert editing, realistic makeup, green vomit, unsettling bodily contortions, and Pazuzu's distinctive voice. Green's fresh take on the franchise seems to pay homage to Friedkin's influence. As the reception from audiences remains uncertain, The Exorcist: Believer shows promising potential as an intriguing extension of the original movie's storyline.
