The sequel to The Exorcist opens this Friday in theaters. io9 reviews Halloween (2018) director David Gordon Green's latest horror franchise reboot.
2018 franchise for a take on religion through a continuation of William Friedkin’sThis time around demonic forces target two young friends, Angela and Katherine , after they hang out in the woods attempting to conduct a seance in a hidden tunnel. After the girls return from their three-day disappearance, Angela’s widowed father Victor and Katherine’s parents find their daughters changed from the ordeal as they give into the demon that came back tethered to them.
Green’s keen sense of suspense hooks you into the story within the first act, following Victor and his pregnant wife as a tragic earthquake hits during their trip to Haiti. Odom’s performance is a tour de force, embodying a man whose faith wavers after he loses his wife and whose journey carries the heart of the family drama that unfolds around him when his daughter and her friend become possessed.
Overall, it’s a solid first entry in a new planned trilogy that I hope continues to be led by Odom. Green’s film delivers a strong testament to the idea that there are things out there we won’t ever comprehend, but fighting each other over them will only hasten our demise; working together is the only way through. Victor is a man willing to try and fight to believe again to save his daughter’s soul.
