Although met with varying reviews, the intent behind this film is clear - to pave the way for a fresh trilogy that upholds the chilling ethos of the Exorcist saga. Adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative is the direction of David Gordon Green. Having directed and co-written the movie, his association with the next installment remains mysterious.
As he shared with The Hollywood Reporter, he's navigating his next steps. One can't ignore his reference to the comedic HBO series, The Righteous Gemstones, which he hinted offers a breather from the intense world of horror.
