 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we'll be talking about the exorcist believer in this video here today This will be probably my last video I do before my review that will drop on Wednesday I'm most likely intending to do the spoiler and spoiler free videos on the very same day for that specific project Because there's a lot about the spoilers I want to just dive into but today in this video I'm gonna talk about Jason Blum's recent comments from entertainment weekly while also going back over some of the more Piles of evidence that point towards Linda not Linda But Chris McNeil's fates in this film as where as where things stand between Chris and Reagan in this movie, too So Jason Blum Talked to entertainment weekly a few days ago about first reactions to the exorcist believer And he said the people who have seen it have said it checks all the boxes of the original He warned that they also report that you come out kind of shaking so be prepared now the key words there Were the people who have those are the key words the people who have not most people because I Highlight that because I'm certain this film is going to be ripped by many critics And I just it's just a gut feeling Admittedly if I have more praises for it then I expect that I'm not gonna be a part of that I have no problem not partaking in Dogging the movie if it again is actually something that is for the most part well written Well made outside of just visually if the screenplay is up to par then I'm gonna come on here and give it praises I'm not gonna rip it. I did the same thing with Halloween ends But Halloween ends of course wasn't a flawless project either the timing of these remarks seem rather intriguing Since the embargo is again is supposed to be lifting this Wednesday at 11 a.m. Eastern Almost as if this comment is an effort to get ahead of the negative reviews that are on the way I know people who have seen it, but I've only heard from one person that has seen the final cut And it was negative just like the test screening reactions were mostly negative and a few positives were sprinkled in I think predominantly you're gonna see a lot more negatives than positives If you don't then you just don't the film has even released five new clips ahead of its release this Friday Which don't look very promising the body in the blood without the appropriate context looks cringe Angela's jump scare clip with Victor are worthy of several eye rolls And we at least did learn publicly from these clips now that Reagan and Chris have a strained Relationship Chris has no idea where Reagan is, but she hopes she can see her one last time a line That's very funny for those that know what's gonna happen to her In fact a site more or less added to the pile of evidence that points towards Chris's fate in this film So first I told you guys in past videos that Chris's expert status That's been hyped is most likely going to be stepped on by how her character is handled like the complete opposite Then the trailer came out the second one to be specific came out more recently and highlighted a portion of what I was referencing a Quick flash of Chris with blood spewing from her eye sockets was shown and we see Victor come to her aid as well It's not a hallucination at all Then a TV spot took it a step further and showed the aftermath of her in a hospital bed with bandages on now The latest thing is that the British board of film classification Highlights that during this movie a woman is stabbed in the eyes resulting in bloody detail I'll leave a link to that in the description and again. Don't forget the line from the clip Chris wants to see her daughter one more time. She's holding out hope for that She's not going to see her because she's not going to have any eyesight. The problem isn't the loss of her eyes It's how she ends up losing them to me from what people have stated multiple people not just one Chris has the worst expert Technique of any person that you would call a expert in this in this regard She just doesn't make very smart decisions that lead to this Unfortunate fate of hers. So that's why people are a little bit frustrated with the handling those people I'm referencing are getting people who have already seen this from test screenings. Yes There's one person I know about who is on Twitter hyping the movie up as if it's the best thing ever I do not trust them. I don't trust them because again They're they're going out of their way to constantly just hype it up as often as they can Something that seems to become a stick for them, but I digress with the actresses believer I am just simply hoping for something that is at least competent enough and when they're saying checking all the boxes Sure, it very well could check all the boxes I mean it has a crisis of faith aspect for the characters it has Scares in it that are not just simply coming from the jump scares that they've made very apparent will be featured throughout and It has the haunting imagery of these diabolical Diabolical faces that we can see on the on the faces of Angela and Catherine Those of course are things that would check boxes for an exorcist movie. However, how are they? Executed. Yeah, you're checking all the boxes, but do you check all the boxes? Well, that's what I'm concerned about That's what I think a lot of people should be concerned about if you're checking all the boxes Well, then I will praise the film if you checked all the boxes in a half-assed undercooked Terribly crafted way. No, it's an immediate write-off. It's an immediate won't be revisiting and it'll just be the end of that Or however, of course, I will turn on the sever because of course the trilogy could get better as it goes on But I digress one other thing I want to make a comment on Linda Blair a hundred percent expect her to show up I've seen a report come out from I think it was games radar. I think that was the site Where the report kind of is indicating I touched on this too in another video It seems that they took David Gordon-Greens comments to suggest that Linda doesn't appear in the movie When all he said was that she does not have a significant role because Linda didn't want a significant role He didn't say that she doesn't have more specifically. He said Linda didn't want a specific role So he didn't say that she doesn't have a role at all. He said she didn't want a significant one Now if he had followed up with stating she's not in the movie which he didn't then I would understand why you would go down the path of saying While it's unfortunate. She won't appear, but that's not the case Reagan does appear in this movie. She's still in the final cut. I had that confirmed a few weeks ago as well So Linda Blair Reagan McNeil, she's gonna show up I anticipate that they will just have her appearance be used to set up a future prominent role in deceiver But that's what you can expect from Reagan's appearance in this movie and again several people from the test screen is they've already seen her And that was one of the positive things so now knowing that in post-production. They didn't cut her out She's gonna be in the film this week. You guys will see Reagan later this week Let me know what you think about this video down in the comment section below Are you looking forward to that's just believer why why not? What do you think about Jason Blum's comments about first reactions? Do you think that that is going to align with most of their reactions? Or do you just think it's a effort to try to get ahead of some of the negativity that is on the way?
