Blumhouse is on a horror sequel craze, but it's time to put projects like The Exorcist: Believer on hold in favor of original projects.
The Big Picture A funny thing happened over the first weekend of October 2023. This is the time when The Exorcist: Believer, a legacy sequel in the Exorcist franchise, debuted in theaters. The title emerged from Blumhouse Productions and was clearly meant to capitalize on the success of Blumhouse's trio of Halloween sequels, right down to Believer being helmed by David Gordon Green, the director behind those Halloween titles.
Still, the flexibility afforded by the innately penny-pinching style of Blumhouse allowed filmmakers like Mike Flanagan, Damien Chazelle, and Jordan Peele to get their original movies made without tremendous creative compromises that would’ve diluted their talents. After all, movies made for $5 million or less don’t need hundreds of millions of moviegoers to see them to become profitable.
Blumhouse’s Reliance on Sequels Makes No Sense Financially or For Diverse Filmmakers There's another creepy and uncomfortable undercurrent to Blumhouse's emphasis on sequels in recent years that needs to be talked about. In 2018, attention began to shift toward how rarely Blumhouse had worked with female directors over the years.
