Résumés(1)
Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom Jr) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own. But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn).

Si c'était un film indépendant sur la possession démoniaque, la plupart des spectateurs l'auraient balayé d'un revers de manche comme un navet inintéressant. Mais pour une tentative de suite de l'un des films les plus célèbres, souvent cité comme le film d'horreur le plus terrifiant de tous les temps, c'est une misérable et indigne abomination qui provoque plus de rires que de terreur tout en maltraitant les personnages originaux (Ellen Burstyn en prend pour son grade, scénaristiquement parlant). Puis, que dire à propos d'un film nommé pour raison commerciale L'Exorciste : …, alors qu'il n'y a pas d'exorciste en vue ? J'espère que cette débâcle va enfin briser le mythe de producteur comme quoi David Gordon Green est un créateur d'horreur talentueux. Parce que non, iI ne l'est pas.

How big a jerk do you have to be to bring poor 90 year old Ellen Burstyn into a Legacy sequel and do THIS to her character in the script? I swear to god that was an even crappier handling of the original character than the last Texas Massacre with Sally. David Gordon Green is probably the most hated filmmaker within the horror genre right now, and rightfully so. He doesn't just kill off famous franchises, he kills them off in a horribly annoying way. Two stars for craftsmanship, for all the righteous hate, Believer holds up to the basic standard of cinema, but otherwise it's woeful. A piss sterile bore, even that fifty year old film had bolder scenes than this one!

It's not fair to compare it to the original film, which it's arguably the best horror film I've ever seen, but unfortunately they are literally asking for it, and so one must conclude that The Exorcist: Believer is nothing but mediocre. Perhaps it can appeal someone who doesn’t know the original, but as far as sequels to The Exorcist go, not only is the third one with George C. Scott better, but also the Harlin prequel, which I really like.
