The Exorcist: Believer’s Official Rating Means The Franchise Can Finally Reclaim Its Lost 44-Year-Old Record

With its R rating, The Exorcist: Believer has the opportunity to reclaim a 44-year record held by the original Exorcist movie. After its 1973 release, The Exorcist changed horror movies forever, launching a beloved franchise that continues to this day. The Exorcist: Believer coming out in October 2023 raises questions about whether the film will live up to the original. This will be a hard bar to reach, as The Exorcist remains one of the scariest horror movies ever made. Still, the upcoming movie seems promising as a follow-up.
