The Exorcist: Believer

-

 


The Exorcist: Believer arrives in theaters this weekend to follow the events of the previous 1973 and 1977 films. As signs of demonic possession manifest in his daughter Angela and her friend Katherine, single father Victor Fielding is thrust into a series of events that compel him to confront the depths of evil. Filled with fear and desperation, he reaches out to Chris MacNeil, the sole living person who has previously witnessed such phenomena, for guidance and assistance.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers of The Exorcist: Believer.

The Good

The Exorcist: Believer stands out as a stellar sequel, seamlessly continuing the narrative established by its predecessors. It not only pays homage to the legacy of the earlier films but also introduces fresh elements that elevate the storyline to new heights. As the best kind of horror, it skillfully blends suspense, chilling atmosphere, and well-crafted scares, delivering an immersive experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. I distinctly jumped so much at one scare, I spilled popcorn on myself.

The Bad

The Exorcist: Believer is interesting, but it leaves too many questions hanging, which can be a bit frustrating. It introduces a bunch of mysteries without really giving clear answers, making it feel like there are loose ends that need tying up. This ambiguity might leave you thinking about unresolved stuff even after the movie is over.

My Overall Opinion

I give The Exorcist: Believer a score of 7 out of 10.

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the majority of superhero mo

Talk to Me

  Talk to Me is the newest scary movie to hit theaters. A group of teenagers discover that they can use an embalmed hand to communicate with the dead. The experience is addicting and they soon relish the thrill to keep using the hand. Unfortunately, their game had frightening supernatural consequences. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  Talk to Me . The Good I love a good horror movie, sadly a lot of horror movies over the last few years focus on jump scares more than the actual story. However, Talk to Me does a great job delivering an original story, filled with more chilling moments, then actual jump scares. (There are still plenty of those) The story is intriguing and will keep you questioning what is real and what is not throughout the entire film.   By far my favorite aspect of this movie is the ending. Although my reviews typically have spoilers, I cannot bring myself to spoil what I thought was a superb ending to this horror film. Often, horror mo

The Last Voyage of the Demeter

  The Last Voyage of the Demeter sailed into theaters this past weekend. This movie gives life to the captain’s log in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. The crew of the merchant ship Demeter sailed to London, as they have countless times before. What should be a routine job and hefty bonus, soon becomes a fight for survival as the crew learns that there is a monstrous presence aboard. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  The Last Voyage of the Demeter . The Good While the story The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on excerpts from a classic horror novel, the idea to bring these logs to life was genius. This film provides a story to the events that took place over a single chapter in the novel. While those of us who have read the novel know how the story will end, it did not change the intrigue in seeing how the story would play out. The cast does an amazing job making this believable with great performances throughout. The Bad Unfortunately, the unique take on
