“The Exorcist: Believer” is not a new version of the horror classic but continues the same storyline and brings back some good moments from the original movie, which traumatized an entire generation after its debut in 1973.
The story is a reinterpretation of the novel of the same name written by William Peter Blatty, which was published in 1971. This time, the drama has been directed by David Gordon Green, known for producing “Halloween Kills” and “Joe”.
Just a day ago, Flix Patrol reported that the title has become one of the most-watched on Prime Video in the United States, ranking in the Top 2 and surpassing multiple popular productions on the streaming platform.
The Exorcist: Believer became No. 2 movie on Prime Video
Despite the mixed reviews that The Exorcist: Believer has received since its release in 2023, the horror film continues to attract viewers, this time on Prime Video, where it became the second most-watched movie in the US.
Flix Patrol, the metrics-focused site, confirmed its new position within the American Top 10. Until a day ago, it was the most-watched film but has been dethroned again by the remake of “Road House” with Jake Gyllenhaal.
This time, the story follows two girls (played by Olivia O’Neill and Lidya Jewett) who become possessed by a mysterious entity, forcing their parents to seek any means of curing them.
The cast is not only led by the two young actresses but also features several important names. Leslie Odom Jr. brings to life one of the main characters, Victor Fielding, while Tracey Graves portrays Sorenne Fielding.
The director David Gordon Green co-wrote the screenplay with Peter Sattler, and the supernatural production aims to be part of the iconic horror franchise that is one of the most popular in history, especially due to its first installment.
Additionally, it serves as a direct sequel to the 1973 cinematic adaptation, which was directed by William Friedkin. This was considered one of the most influential works in the horror genre and has left an indelible mark on popular culture.
