The Exorcist: Believer might have flopped, but the Fox show from 2016 remains tragically underrated (and very easy to stream!).
-
Combined, the films represent some of the best that the slasher genre has to offer.
-
Traces of Kenny Powers, Neal Gamby, and Jesse Gemstone can be found in Fred Simmons, Danny McBride's noxious taekwando instructor.

-
It's Cage's sense of abandon, and willingness to hurl himself into the performance that makes him so well-suited to horror films.
-
Now, in another uncertain time in American history, we need a hero like the Wonders' drummer, Guy Patterson (Tom Everett Scott).

-
It's a beautiful, complex, often staggering portrait of a man who breaks and then grows stronger at the broken places.
-
