Skip it. This prequel is a bloated, meandering mess that strips away everything that made The Exorcist terrifying—replacing supernatural dread with a plodding archaeological snoozefest about a priest's faith crisis. Even die-hard franchise fans will find themselves checking their phones.

Father Merrin takes a sabbatical from the Church to devote himself to history and archaeology as he struggles with his shattered faith.

Director: Paul Schrader

Cast: Stellan Skarsgård, Gabriel Mann, Clara Bellar, Billy Crawford, Ralph Brown
