If you’re going into this movie expecting to be jump scared at every chance you might as well stay home. The movie was good for the first half but after a while it gets dull and boring. The two little girls were the best part of this movie. Leslie Odom Jr. was also phenomenal in this movie but I can’t help but wish we saw more than one emotion from him. The movie has little to no jump scares however the imagery in this movie is downright horrific. And if you’re looking for anything close to the original you should turn around because this movie didn’t have it.

True Horror Fan here: Not great. They don't make horror movies like they did back then anymore.

Overall good movie. Obviously not as good as the original, but never expected it to be. First half was kinda a drag, but the second half was pretty much where the movie picked up and stayed afloat.

It was pretty good. Nowhere as intense as the original, but it wasn't bad. It wasn't quite what I expected, it started very slow. But I give it a 4/5

This movie was made as a money grab. Brought back 2 of the original stars and that was the only redeeming factor. $53 dollars and 2 hours of my life wasted.

I’m a horror fan and a fan of Blumhouse . With that said it was a little slow and drawn out for that studio to create . I saw a matinee so it was pretty cheap . I’m glad I got to see it but I’d wait for it to come to Netflix , Max , etc. The commercials hyped it up .

Some Suspense, definitely not scary. There are moments of some creepiness and grossness, but otherwise a much better movie than "A Haunting in Venice. " I jumpy out of my seat once, without giving too much detail (when one of the daughters jumps up at the window).

It was decent. Didn’t focus on the possession as much as the people around the possession. The title makes sense because of focus on the belief of the people towards the girls. It’s worth seeing but was different than I expected.

The movie was not scary at all. Not once was the movie even remotely scary. Just creepy maybe. Barely suspenseful. The only reason this movie is getting eyes is because of the name. Don’t waste your time

It was a good movie. The first part was a bit of a drag but the movie picks up immediately after. It was very different than any of the other exorcist movies you have seen(cant give spoilers). Title lives up to its name & I say dont bring kids to see it just because of the graphics.

Was good till the 3rd act, then the climax got murky with details that should have been addressed more in the 2nd act.

The Exorcist: Believer has its moments, but we’ve had a half-century of this stuff. And the filmmaker in charge has to show us something new; there’s more to life, and moviegoing, than coasting on cherished memories of projectile vomiting and head-swiveling.

The Exorcist: Believer never manages anything like the deep terror of the original, and the film’s climactic scenes pass by with a lifeless predictability. Been there, exhumed that.
