r/TheExorcist

Now I'm asking this, not having seen this movie, and knowing Blatty had done what I'm asking for his "Trilogy of Faith" with Exorcist>Ninth>Legion/Exorcist III. But I'm asking anyone here because I don't recall or know anyone who has gone that far to replace II with this movie. I think it's a no brainer, helps your shelf not be awkward when it goes from Exorcist to Exorcist III. But is this movie even good tow arrant this idea?

What say you?

>Darkness must be hunted. Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist: Martyrs is only in theaters March 12.

>Academy Award® nominee Scarlett Johansson fronts The Exorcist: Martyrs, an unsettling new chapter in one of the most storied titles in cinema history from genre auteur Mike Flanagan, the creator of acclaimed series The Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass, and the upcoming Carrie, as well as the films Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck, Hush and Gerald’s Game.

>Thirteen years ago, New York City detective Julie Miller (Johansson) ended the terror reign of satanic serial killer Father Sunday. The case made her a hero, and she has thrown herself into her work ever since. Now a new killer scrawls her name in an altar boy’s blood on the walls of a church crypt, dragging her back into the darkness she believed she had buried with him.

>Aided by former prison chaplain Father William (Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor), who heard Father Sunday’s final confession, and sharp rookie detective Gina Restrepo (Sasha Calle, The Rip), Detective Miller will discover a filament linking a lineage of serial killers, from H.H. Holmes to the Zodiac, that could corrupt everything, and everyone, she loves with an evil that goes well beyond the mortal.
