THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER possesses your collection this December!
Love it or hate it, THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER is coming home to 4K UHD, BLU RAY, and DVD on December 19, 2023! The fan base seems mixed, and now that the film has been streaming on Peacock those who want to add it to their collection will have the chance in the coming weeks. Blumhouse and Universal quickly turned this around, which is great news for those who missed it on it’s short release and don’t have access to the Peacock streaming service.
