Why it’s HorroRated

The Exorcist Believer reaches for the original's weight and finds something smaller. The two-girl premise is more interesting than a single possession and David Gordon Green handles the material with care. But the film can't generate the dread the subject requires. A serious attempt that falls short of its own ambitions.

Synopsis

David Gordon Green's Exorcist sequel attempts to recapture the original's weight for a contemporary audience. The two women's experiences are more interesting than the framework around them. A serious attempt that falls short of its own ambitions.
