10 Most Anticipated Horror Movies Still To Come In 2023

1. The Exorcist

Last Voyage Of The Dementer
Universal Pictures

No matter how much of a horror fan you are, everyone has the right to be sceptical about another Exorcist instalment. We haven't had a good Exorcist film since... The Exorcist... which came out half a century ago.

But the untitled sequel just might pull it off. Originally envisioned as a reboot, it was reworked as a continuation of the original. This time around, a child gets possessed, compelling her father to seek the help of Chris MacNeil, whose daughter, Regan, was tormented by a demon many years ago.

Before you ask, yes, Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn, will be reprising their roles. The follow-up will include many other talented actors including The Handmaid's Tale's Ann Dowd, Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr, and Once Upon A Time's Raphael Sbarge.

But the one element about this project that has fans most intrigued is the fact it's helmed by David Gordon Green, who resurrected the flagging Halloween saga. Because Green's Halloween became the most successful film in the franchise, let's hope his Exorcist sequel rejuvenates the franchise. And since Green has outlined scripts for two potential follow-ups if this movie does well, that's a real possibility.
