As a cinephile with over three decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must admit that Mike Flanagan’s take on The Exorcist has me intrigued and slightly apprehensive. Having grown up watching the original 1973 classic, it left an indelible mark on my psyche, much like a possessed girl spewing bile.
In a candid conversation at New York Comic Con, filmmaker Mike Flanagan, along with his frequent collaborators Josh Horowitz (podcaster), Kate Siegel (his wife in real life), Carla Gugino, and Rahul Kohli, revealed that he feels quite uneasy about his adaptation of The Exorcist. During a live episode of Happy Sad Confused on October 19, Flanagan expressed his intention to create the scariest film he’s ever made, aiming to produce something that truly terrifies him.
As a movie connoisseur, I can confidently say that “The Exorcist” left an indelible mark on my cinematic journey. At a tender age, this film managed to disturb me in ways that few others have since. The numerous sequels and spin-offs may have been attempted, but none have matched the original’s chilling impact. Attempting to remake “The Exorcist” is futile; it stands alone as a masterpiece of horror. Instead, when crafting a new tale, one must strive to create something fresh, yet musically aligned with its spirit, without aiming to supplant it.
In a playful manner, the panelists remarked that “Flanagan’s production isn’t a musical.” However, he did incorporate jazz hand gestures. Flanagan emphasized that the new Exorcist is far from repetitive, stating, “It’s not just a rehash of what has been done before. It’s not a remake or an update.” Instead, it presents something entirely fresh.
Flanagan is delving deeply into William Friedkin’s chilling masterpiece from 1973, not just that, but also his intriguing sequel, The Exorcist III. He finds some concepts within it intriguingly ripe for more in-depth exploration. Moreover, he holds the movie in high regard, stating that it might boast the best jump scare ever recorded in film history. The hospital hallway sequence in particular leaves a lasting impression if you haven’t had the chance to watch it yet.
There’s still a chance – Flanagan needs the script by November 1st. Candy from Halloween won’t ease your tummy troubles.
