After what happened with the end of the new Halloween franchise and now this, David Gordon Green should be kept far away from any new horror projects. I agree, along with many others, that Believer seems to be an antithesis to the spirit and sheer effectiveness of the original. Both banal and cliched, the film offers little in any kid of true horror nor any emotional connection to go along with it. And poor Ellen Burstyn (who fully admitted to coming back only for the money) must contend with a ludicrous arch for the McNeil character. I knew it was going to be bad but this spits in the face of the original - and the deal made before the film came out means we're going to be getting two more.

Who would have thought that Exorcist: Belieber would be a perfect movie for a nap? Because man, what a boring piece of shit. It's not scary or creepy. Its attempts to duplicate the editing from the 1973 film is a poor carbon copy. Ellen Burstyn's role in the movie is pathetic and a disservice to her character. I didn't give a shit about the fates of the two possessed girls. This feels like every other Exorcist movie, as it brings nothing new.

"Believer" starts out promising, but soon disintegrates into a movie that is everything William Friedkin's masterpiece wasn't. The sense of dread is manufactured, and by the time the movie reaches its confusing and lame CGI-filled anticlimax, it feels so far off from "The Exorcist" and closer related to something in the "Insidious" or "Conjuring" universes.
