What recent possession movies should horror fans watch instead of The Exorcist: Believer?
Argentine import When Evil Lurks came out the very same day as The Exorcist: Believer, and is as daring, shocking, mean-spirited, scary, and creatively vibrant in all the ways Believer isn’t. It’s now streaming on Shudder. Another 2023 release, Talk to Me, is similar to Believer in that it begins as a story about teens who invite the occult into their lives… and very quickly regret it. From there, though, the energy coming through is one of terrifying unease, and you absolutely won’t guess the fates of the characters like you probably did with Believer. You can rent it on Prime Video.
