How to Watch All The Exorcist Movies in Order

Published on

Since its release in 1973, The Exorcist has become widely recognised as one of the most iconic films in horror history. The darkly foreboding storytelling, blasphemous nature of its content, and shocking moments of demonic evil turned heads (so to speak) when it was first released and continues to inspire filmmakers to this day.

The first Exorcist film was based on William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel of the same name. It introduced audiences to the 12-year old Regan MacNeil, played by Linda Blair, who becomes possessed by an ancient Assyrian demon known as Pazuzu. Doctors and psychologists are baffled by the case, and in her desperation Regan’s mother turns to two Catholic priests — Father Damien Karras and Father Lankester Merrin — to help exorcise the demon.

Watch The Exorcist Movies in Chronological Order

If you want to watch all of The Exorcist movies following the series of events starting from the demon Pazuzu’s original discovery, check out the list below to find out how to watch all the movies in chronological order. The first film, 2005’s Dominion, is an alternate prequel to 2004’s The Beginning. Dominion was originally commissioned with Paul Schrader at the helm, but the studio was dissatisfied with the end product and rehashed it with Renny Harlin to create Beginning. However, after Beginning performed poorly at the box office, the studio later released Schrader’s cut.

The Exorcist II was released as a direct sequel to the original, and takes place four years after the events of The Exorcist. However, the film was poorly received so its sequel, Exorcist III, was made without much allusion to the second film, and could therefore be watched directly after the first. Exorcist III takes place some 15 years after the events of the original Exorcist.

In 2023, director David Gordon Green released The Exorcist: Believer, which he maintained was a direct sequel to the original Exorcist. The story takes place some 30 years after the original, and is expected to spawn a trilogy. The second instalment, The Exorcist: Deceiver, is set to be released in 2025.
