Discover what makes Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer horrifying with never-before-seen bonus content!

Fifty years after the most terrifying horror film shocked the world, The Exorcist: Believer, from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek, directly follows the groundbreaking original 1973 film.

Since his wife’s death, Victor (Leslie Odom Jr., Murder on the Orient Express) has raised his daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) alone. After Angela and her friend (Olivia O’Neill) return from a three-day disappearance with missing memories, they begin displaying frightening behavior. Victor’s best hope is to find the only person who has seen anything like this before: Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn, Queen Bees), whose haunting experience with her daughter Regan may be the key to combating ultimate evil.
