ComingSoon spoke with The Exorcist: Believer's Special Makeup FX Designer and Department Head Chris Nelson about the Exorcist sequel.
. Nelson revealed his favorite look from the film and discussed the various stages of makeup that made for each stage of possession in the movie.
He wanted them to be organic and not really fantastical at all. But aside from the contact lenses, which are obviously a sign of possession and slightly walk that line of fantastical, we wanted them to be very organic. So I based each girl’s look on those tics. Hence, Angela’s character with the convulsions and the head beating. I had her face much more swollen, rounded, and puffy.
Tell me about the stages of makeup that the girls go through while possessed in The Exorcist: Believer. I didn’t want it to just be this giant jump that seemed fantastical, so discoloration in eyes and bloodshot and dilated pupils and things like that.
