Mike Flanagan will be the next to try and make a decent Exorcist sequel

From Hill House to Georgetown, Mike Flanagan is stepping into the director's chair left vacant by David Gordon Green

Less than a year after audiences and critics spit pea soup all over The Exorcist : Believer, Blumhouse is baptizing the whole property with fresh holy water. Netflix miniseries-maker Mike Flanagan is taking over the next Exorcist sequel as Blumhouse retools the beleaguered franchise that only produced one good sequel in 50 years.

This is all fine because Green is doing some of his best work on television and some of his worst in horror movies. For his part, Flanagan is using the opportunity to “try something fresh, bold, and terrifying.” He also ensured everyone knew, “The Exorcist is one of the reasons I became a filmmaker,” which should appeal to hardcore Pazuzu-heads, even though he didn’t say he was making this one for the fans and not the critics. This wouldn’t be Flanagan’s first time in the Blumhouse.
