Pazuzu is back, and this time he's doubled-up on demonic possession.
There was a lot of excitement for David Gordon Green's Exorcist sequel after the director's first Halloween movie was released, but after the trilogy concluded with divisive entries Kills and Ends, it's fair to say fans are a little more apprehensive.
Even so, the CinemaCon teaser seemed to go over pretty well with those in attendance, and the first posters, which have now been officially released after being spotted at San Diego Comic-Con earlier today, go some way towards recapturing the chilling tone of the original.
Specific plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that Leslie Odom Jr. plays the father of a young girl who goes missing in the woods with a friend. When both children wind up being possessed, he calls in Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) for help.
We're assuming the unfortunate kids are featured on these one-sheets.
The movie also stars Ann Dowd, Lidya Jewett, Raphael Sbarge, Jennifer Nettles and Olivia Marcum. A recent report claimed that Linda Blair would also reprise the role of Regan MacNeil, but that's yet to be confirmed.
Widely considered one of the scariest movies ever made, William Friedkin's The Exorcist focused on a possessed young girl (Blair) and her mother's (Burstyn) attempts to free her from the grip of the demon with the help of two priests (Jason Miller and Max Von Sydow).
Of course, the movie already has two sequels. The first, John Boorman's surreal The Heretic, was critically panned and actually had very little to do with the events of the first film. However, William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist III (based on his novel Legion) was a lot better, and served as a more direct follow-up to the 1973 classic.
