Problem is that The Exorcist was a cultural phenomenon as much as a cinema one with the time of the movie and it's transcendence from a genre film into something entirely different, you had to see it in the context of that period and at that time or maybe up to around 1980 to fully understand it's impact.
Anyone seeing it since that period had the inevitable dilution of thousands of other slasher and vastly inferior films which means like some other classics it's almost impossible to understand the films impact.
I will definitely see the remake but it is no longer possible for it to be anything more than a good horror film in these times.

It's OK if you take your time before showing an anti-possession ritual in your movie, even if it's the premise, as long as the plot can engage the audience. THE EXORCIST was by no means boring, but it did have scenes that, in retrospective, weren't essential. In that regard, I think that THE EXORCIST VI: BELIEVER has a better structure. It doesn't meander. Certain moments manage to be compelling because these characters' personalities, their arcs and the dynamics they share with one another stand out a lot more. Not to mention the good cast. However, at the end of the day, this franchise is part of a certain genre, so each installment is judged by those standards. One could defend some of the other sequels for not being scary like the original, since they had more of a psychological thriller approach, but this one is trying to be mainly a traditional horror movie. Well... Every single cinematic technique it uses in order to freighten the viewer fails.
4/10
