I had a chance to watch the pilot of the upcoming The Exorcist series from Fox in a movie theater last night. Back in 1973, the original was the definition of terror and panic and it was most likely revolutionary. But by the time we get to 2016, demon possession is a tired genre. This pilot is just The Exorcist's greatest hits mixed with what feels like a The Conjuring rehash. However, what might keep you glued to the screen are the characters. They give a fresh take on the genre amidst the clichés. And by clichés I mean certain way shots are framed and OMG there was someone standing behind you without making a sound! Anyway, if you're expecting head-turning terror, skip it. I won't keep watching. #theexorcist #fox #theexorcistfox #pilotreview #horror
