A TERRIFYING FIRST LOOK AT ‘THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER’ POSTERS

By Jenny Schafer

In less than three months, the next chapter in The Exorcist saga will finally arrive. David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer hits theaters this October, and we now finally have our first look at the possessed girl at the center of the story, thanks to these terrifying posters.

Blumhouse and Universal Pictures dropped the first posters for the film Thursday morning, giving us an early peek at the possessed state of the girls played by Lidya Jewett and Olivia O’Neill. As Universal revealed at CinemaCon earlier this year, the girls are transformed by demonic forces after getting lost in the woods one day. The best friends are gone for quite a long time but seem to have little memory of what really went on. Then strange things start to happen, the girls begin doing things like profaning church services, and it’s clear that they need more help than the hospital can provide.

Check out the poster and note how they evoke the classic Dick Smith makeup designs for Linda Blair’s character in the first Exorcist.
