As a seasoned gamer with decades of spine-chilling gaming experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that Mike Flanagan‘s upcoming “The Exorcist” film has me on the edge of my seat. With his previous masterpieces like “Gerald’s Game”, “Doctor Sleep”, and “The Haunting of Hill House”, he’s already proven his prowess in delivering heart-stopping horror. His declaration that this new Exorcist will be the “scariest” movie he’s ever made is not just exciting, but downright terrifying!
Many audiences consider the original The Exorcist to be the scariest movie of all time, and while Mike Flanagan has delivered audiences a number of horrifying experiences, he thinks his upcoming The Exorcist film will be the “scariest” movie he’s ever made. Flanagan has already terrified audiences with movies like Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep, as well as with the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House, so to tease that his Exorcist will take things to a new level is something that will excite fans. In fact, the filmmaker expressed that it’s his intent to honor the namesake of the franchise to inspire him to push the horror to new heights. The new The Exorcist is set to hit theaters on March 13, 2026.
Flanagan admitted to The Hollywood Reporter, “We aren’t taking the easy route here.” He further explained, “I’ve always believed that diving into a franchise or property as large as this only makes sense if there’s something fresh and original to offer.” He persistently pursued ‘The Exorcist’ because he felt he had an innovative idea. This venture offers a chance to create something unprecedented within the franchise, a creation that respects its history but isn’t solely reliant on nostalgia. Honestly, I saw this as an opportunity to make the scariest film I’ve ever directed. I understand the expectations are sky-high, and let me tell you, nobody is more anxious than I am.”
As a devoted admirer, I can confidently say that when it comes to bringing Stephen King’s “Gerald’s Game” and “Doctor Sleep,” as well as Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” to the screen, Flanagan doesn’t shy away from meeting the high standards fans have for established works
In 2018, Blumhouse resurrected the nearly dormant Halloween franchise with a film directed by David Gordon Green, which sparked an entire trilogy of Halloween movies. The initial release received positive responses from both audiences and critics, fueling anticipation for future installments. However, both Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends failed to meet the financial and critical expectations set by their predecessor
When it was announced that David Gordon Green would create a series of three The Exorcist movies, with the first being last year’s The Exorcist: Believer, fans were tentatively hopeful, but Believer received mixed reviews from both critics and viewers. Given that another trilogy was expected to begin in a similar fashion, some fans were apprehensive about the franchise’s prospects. However, it has been confirmed by Blumhouse and Flanagan that the forthcoming film will not follow the storyline of Believer
Stay tuned for updates on the future of The Exorcist.
