Alright horror fans… Universal and Blumhouse released on Thursday three brand new posters for their upcoming movie The Exorcist: Believer.
Looking very much like Regan from the original movie, the sequel will hit theaters on October 13. The 1973 film (directed by William Friedkin and written by William Peter Blatty) is about a 12-year-old girl who is possessed by a mysterious demonic entity, forcing her mother to seek the help of two priests to save her.
The Exorcist won two Oscars for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium – William Peter Blatty and Best Sound – Christopher Newman, Robert Knudson. It went onto have a worldwide box office gross of $441,306,145 (Box Office Mojo) with only a $11 million budget. It starred Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair.
David Gordon Green (Halloween 2018) directs the new film, and is produced by Jason Blum, David Robinson and James G. Robinson.

"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" is a shocking movie. Women are impaled on meat hooks. Men are chopped to pieces. Furniture crafted from animal bones and human limbs lurk in the corners. Yet there is surprisingly little gore to be found. The deaths are mostly bloodless. Flesh wounds appear on screen in only a handful of scenes. When Leatherface plunges his chain saw into the wheelchair-bound Franklin, the audience is given a mere handful of viscera rather than the volcano of blood they might expect. "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" was marketed as being based on a true story. But it uses suggestion just as effectively as it does verisimilitude.
Why avoid gore? Realistic blood and guts cost money, which director Tobe Hooper and his crew didn't have. It was to their best advantage to scare their audience via creative shortcuts. But Hooper had more on his mind than saving money.

He’s just finished wrangling a dream cast of older actors (including Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren) into an effective fighting team for Red, and now director Robert Schwentke might just be looking to bring a long-gestating drama project back from the depths of development limbo, as he’s become attached like a barnacle to submarine pic Shadow Divers.The source material for this one is Robert Knudson’s real-life tome, subtitled The True Adventures of Two Americans who Discovered Hitler’s Lost Sub, and charts what happens when a couple of divers stumble upon a sunken U-boat off the coast of New Jersey. The pair risked their lives over the next six years to bring its treasures to the surface.Back in the day (2006, to be exact) we reported on Peter Weir signing up to direct the film with a William Broyles Jr script, and we guessed...
