How long is The Exorcist: Believer? Runtime explained
Universal PicturesNot long to go until The Exorcist: Believer is unleashed in cinemas, but how long is the movie? We’ve broken down the runtime and how it compares to other Exorcist films so that you know what you’re strapping yourself in for.
While The Exorcist sequels have been hit and miss (mostly miss), director David Gordon Green is taking a stab at the long-running franchise by launching a brand new trilogy based on William Friedkin’s 1973 horror classic.
The first entry, The Exorcist: Believer, centers on Angela and Katherine as they disappear in the woods, only to return with no memory of what happened. What follows is a chain of events that forces Angela’s dad Victor to confront the “nadir of evil” and seek help from the one and only Chris MacNeil.
