THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER MOVIE REVIEW
David Gordon Green is back to reboot…remake…resequel another beloved horror franchise with The Exorcist: Believer. Leslie Odom Jr plays Victor in the follow up to the 1973 classic as he raises his daughter Angela, played by up-and-comer Lidya Jewett. One day after school Angela and her best friend Katherine, Olivia O’Neill, head into the woods to not be seen again for 3 days. When they’re discovered both families are relieved to have their daughters back, but something is off. Of course we’re talking about an Exorcist movie so naturally possessions and Pazuzus are involved. With the help of Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) returning as her classic character, Victor and friends try to help their daughters find their way back to the light with some good ol’ fashioned exorcisms. Also Ann Dowd is in this so you know it’s going to be creepily good. Listen as Wright, Nathan, and Mike exorcise the demons and ponder if The Exorcist: Believer is a worthy follow up to the William Friedkin classic.
DIRECTED BY: David Gordon Green
STARRING: Leslie Odom Jr., Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles, Norbert Leo Butz, Lidya Jewett, Olivia Marcum, Ellen Burstyn, Tracey Graves, Okwui Okpokwasili, Raphael Sbarge, Danny McCarthy
YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Trash in the Can, Audio Editor)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad)
A recent transplant to Austin originally hailing from the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Midwest, Nathan Flynn has been a movie super freak since he saw “An American Werewolf in London” way too young and grew up worshipping the James Bond franchise and all things related to Cold War-era spycraft. When he’s not watching movies and being a constant defender of the Tron franchise, he can be found practicing his second biggest love: cooking (having been a chef for 10+ years) and hitting his head up against a desk to write screenplays that nobody reads. He also spearheads his own podcast on the Mission Impossible franchise titled “Mission: Impodible”. He can be found rarely posting on his personal twitter.
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is a filmmaker, editor, writer and animator. He is also a film junkie, dog lover and Surge-aholic (Hi, Mike). He grew up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, where he earned the reputation as the “human IMDb” and was on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He later studied film in Pittsburgh. He has since written several unproduced screenplays and TV pilots. He has also produced a number of short films, some of which have appeared in festivals across the country. He is a ninja with Final Cut Pro and is armed with a mind full of mostly useless pop-culture trivia. He also enjoys animation, MST3K, classic video games and being the “music geek” among his friends (which really just means he buys vinyl and listens to music that doesn’t come from an anime soundtrack). He resides in Austin, Texas, and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm.
