The Exorcist (2016)

The Exorcist (2016) is a propulsive psychological thriller that follows three priests pulled into a terrifying case of demonic possession that threatens a suburban Chicago family and a nearby foster home. When Angela’s household begins to unravel—sleepwalking nightmares, a husband slipping into madness, a withdrawn teenage daughter and a child hearing noises in the walls—the church sends Father Tomas Ortega, a compassionate, progressive young pastor, whose quiet life collides with Father Marcus Keane, a ruthless, Vatican‑trained warrior priest fighting evil on the front lines. As their conflicting methods and the church’s internal politics collide, the series unfolds into a tense, character-driven battle with an ancient force. Viewers can expect a slow‑burn, atmospheric experience mixing intimate family drama and theological conflict with chilling horror: unsettling imagery, mounting dread, intense confrontations and ritualized exorcism sequences. The show emphasizes moral ambiguity, questions of faith and the psychological cost of facing evil, delivering suspenseful scares alongside strong performances and a dark, episodic mystery that keeps the stakes escalating.
