The Exorcist: Believer ups the exorcism ante by giving us not one possessed little girl, but TWO possessed little girls. It follows the original Exorcist film’s true to life approach, honing in on the human drama of the characters and using this knowledge to heighten the intensity of the exorcism scenes. But does it go far enough? Not quite. Like Creed III, the final fight feels just a beat short of truly earning its payoff.

And that payoff was designed to come down to a simple choice that the odd team of exorcist superfriends (a witch doctor, a catholic priest, a baptist minister, the parents, etc) were forced to make, only that choice was written as to be stacked in the favor of one of the girls over the other, thereby weakening the emotional significance and intended tragedy of the climax.

So just like The Creator, the movie is very effective and creepy up until the third act where it comes off as rushed and contrived, and therefore doesn’t hold a votive candle to its predecessors. Speaking of which, they brought back the original characters and for some stupid reason did absolutely nothing with them.
