It’s hard to believe there was passion behind ‘Exorcist: Believer’
All 9 ‘Exorcist’ movies, TV seasons and books, ranked
Story rankings: As a new legacy sequel brings back the “Exorcist” saga, here’s a look back at the films, TV seasons and novels so far.
‘Dominion’ (2005) a tame ‘Prequel to the Exorcist’
Exorcising the past (Movie review): Paul Schrader’s film — the second-released “Exorcist” prequel — is so tame that Pazuzu comes off as a good guy.
Merrin meets Pazuzu in ‘Exorcist: The Beginning’ (2004)
Exorcising the past (Movie review): Renny Harlin comes in midway to direct a slick, creepy, continuity-challenged, beat-hitting, respectable prequel.
Blatty’s ‘Exorcist III’ (1990) is meditative, moody
Exorcising the past (Movie review): Based on Blatty’s own book sequel, “Legion,” this third “Exorcist” film dives into Christian-themed horror.
‘Exorcist II: The Heretic’ (1977) dully checks in on Regan
Exorcising the past (Movie review): It’s nice to have Linda Blair back as Regan, but this sequel is weird, dull and nonsensical.
‘The Exorcist’ (1973) sets high bar for exorcism films
Exorcising the past (Movie review): William Friedkin masterfully shoots William Peter Blatty’s story and forever popularizes a subgenre of horror.
