The Exorcist: Believer's reviews
Media reviews
USA Today
Does a decent job living up to a legendary predecessor. Original star Ellen Burstyn returns in the latest film, which also goes all in exploring every parent's deepest fears, but while it tries admirably, "Believer" is nowhere near as profoundly scary as William Friedkin's genre-defining chiller.
Empire
As a perfectly serviceable horror movie, it at least gets the Exorcist franchise back into respectable territory, but there was the potential for something much better.
Slashfilm
"Believer" is not the worst "Exorcist" film by any stretch, but it's certainly the least intriguing. It's a rote, choppy thriller that forgets to scare us.
Screen Daily
Exorcist: Believer has none of the creeping dread of the original.
The Telegraph
Director David Gordon Green fails to whip up even a fraction of the original 1973 chiller's menace in this sloppy, CGI-heavy farrago.
