David Gordon Green directed The Exorcist: Believer from a screenplay by Peter Sattler and Green, from a story by Scott Teems, Danny McBride and Green. William Peter Blatty created the characters in this new Exorcist film. 

Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences worldwide. A new chapter begins thanks to Blumhouse and Green, who resurrected the Halloween franchise.  

Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding, played by Leslie Odom Jr., has raised their daughter, Angela, played by Lidya Jewett, on his own. 

Angela and her friend Katherine, played by Olivia Marcum, disappear into the woods, only to return three days later without knowing what happened to them. It unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the lowest point of evil. In terror and desperation, he seeks out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before—Chris MacNeil. 

For the first time since the 1973 film, Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.

The film also stars Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles Norbert Leo Butz. 

When The Exorcist, based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty, hit the movie theaters, it changed the culture forever. It obliterated box office records and earned 10 Academy Award nominations, becoming the first horror film nominated for Best Picture.
