What's worse? This or Exorcist: The Beginning?


If it's worse than The Beginning than oh boy...

Exorcist: The Beginning by far.

I hate to admit that David Gordon Green ruined another horror franchise, but the movie wasn't anything terrible. What should have been better is that it was made as a standalone film rather than a pointless direct sequel to the classic film The Exorcist.

Well it seems to be the trend at the moment making legacy sequels to decades old movies with old actors returning to cash on the nostalgia. I didn't mind Halloween 2018 (lets face it, the films before weren't exactly great) but a lot of films have tried following suit.

Exorcist: The Beginning is worse. This isn't a bad movie. It doesn't reach the intensity of the original but what does? It is entertaining and I hope it is financially successful despite the bad reviews and that Universal won't cancel the sequels.

Equally bad but for different reasons.

I thoroughly dislike The Beginning, but Exorcist II has a reputation as the "worst film" in the Exorcist franchise, so it be more fair to have this go head-to-head with Exorcist II.
