The Rich Tapestry of “Killers of the Flower Moon”
A Gilded Age’s Dark Secrets
The late 1900s marked a time when the Osage Nation’s newfound oil wealth made them some of the world’s wealthiest individuals almost overnight. Yet, with great fortune came great peril. Unscrupulous white settlers, driven by greed, exploited the Osage people. In a world marred by deception and avarice, they used every trick in the book, from manipulation to outright murder.
A Tale of Love and Betrayal
At the heart of this tumultuous backdrop lies the unlikely romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone). Theirs is a story of genuine love entangled in a web of treachery. Alongside Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, “Killers of the Flower Moon” paints a captivating narrative of love, betrayal, and resilience.

Are you ready to be terror-struck this pre-Halloween season? Well, get ready to dive into the depths of fear as The Exorcist: Believer descends upon the big screen, bringing spine-tingling chills and hair-raising horrors. It’s been fifty years since the iconic “The Exorcist” first sent shockwaves through the world of cinema, and now, a new chapter is set to captivate today’s audiences with its relentless terror. Produced by the masterminds at Blumhouse and helmed by the brilliant director David Gordon Green (known for his work on the Halloween franchise), “The Exorcist: Believer” promises to be an unforgettable horror experience.
A Mesopotamian Nightmare Unleashed
In The Exorcist: Believer, Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green push the boundaries of the horror genre once again. This time, they introduce us to the horrifying world of a Mesopotamian demon named Lamashtu. The story revolves around two teenage girls, Angela (Lidya Jewett) and Katherine (Olivia O’Neill), who venture into the woods one fateful afternoon. Little do they know, they’ve unwittingly invited an ancient evil into their lives, plunging them into a nightmarish ordeal like no other.
A Clash of Faiths
The film introduces us to two families with vastly different backgrounds. Angela’s father, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom Jr.), lost his wife during a devastating earthquake in Haiti while she was pregnant with Angela. Since that tragic day, Victor has devoted his life to raising Angela on his own. On the other hand, Katherine’s parents, Miranda (Jennifer Nettles) and Tony (Norberto Leo Butz), are devout Christians with unwavering faith, serving as the pillars of their church. Despite their differences, these two families find themselves united in a desperate battle against the malevolent Lamashtu, aided by their tight-knit community, all working tirelessly to save the girls’ lives.
Exploring Faith and Evil
For director David Gordon Green, The Exorcist: Believer offers an opportunity to delve into his long-standing fascination with religions from around the world. He remarks, “I’ve grown up with a fascination of religions of all sorts. When I see a movie that has a religious theme, I’ll often read more about it, or research it.” While the original 1973 film primarily centered on Catholic interpretations of possession, “The Exorcist: Believer” takes a more inclusive approach, examining the phenomenon from the perspectives of multiple faiths.
Lamashtu: The Bloodthirsty Succubus
The demon at the heart of The Exorcist: Believer is the menacing Mesopotamian figure, Lamashtu. In ancient mythology, she was known as a bloodthirsty succubus, notorious for stealing newborns. As the Harvard Library Bulletin reveals, “By the first millennium BCE, Lamashtu was portrayed consistently with a lion’s head and a woman’s body, while retaining the trait of bird talons for feet.” Lamashtu stands as a stark departure from the demon Pazuzu, featured in the original novel and 1973 film, who served as a protective shield against her destructive powers.
A Link to the Past
As the film delves into the heart of darkness and the desperate struggle of parents to free their daughters from demonic possession, it also connects with a character from the original film. Chris MacNeill (Ellen Burstyn), whose daughter Regan (Linda Blair) was also possessed, plays a crucial role. Chris has devoted her life to helping others understand possession, especially parents who have endured the unexplainable. Now a successful author, her writings come to Victor’s attention through his neighbor, Ann (Ann Dowd). Ellen Burstyn reflects on her character, saying, “Chris has had 50 years of living, and I thought, ‘Who has she become? That interested me creatively. We are, in any moment of time, the sum total of everything that has happened to us and how that has become part of our character. That was an interesting challenge to explore.”
Prepare for the Horror
Mark your calendars for October 4th when The Exorcist: Believer from Universal Pictures International (Ph) takes possession of theaters. The terror begins with midnight screenings on its opening day. Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience that will leave you clutching your seat in fear. Don’t miss it if you dare!

It’s about bonds that go beyond traditional labels, where friends, neighbors, and communities become an integral part of one’s family,” Kerwin articulated during the See What’s Next: Philippines 2023 local title revelation.
