The Exorcist: Martyrs Trailer #1 (2027)

Se7en and Mindhunter are turning up in the conversation beneath an Exorcist trailer. Viewers of Rotten Tomatoes Trailers' "The Exorcist: Martyrs Trailer #1 (2027)" are picking out its crime-thriller atmosphere, while others recognize echoes of The Exorcist III.

The upload has reached roughly 430,000 views, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for videos of this length. Its comment section is even more unusual: first-day comments came in at about forty times the normal level. Alongside those comparisons, viewers keep mentioning the music, the silhouette imagery and director Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House.

This is an official trailer for a fictional supernatural thriller. Scarlett Johansson plays New York detective Julie Miller, whose past case returns to haunt her when a new killer leaves a message bearing her name. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Father William, a former prison chaplain with knowledge of the earlier killer, while Sasha Calle plays rookie detective Gina Restrepo.

Flanagan has entered an established horror world before: he directed Doctor Sleep, the adaptation of Stephen King's sequel to The Shining. Here, the synopsis gives his investigators a trail connecting generations of serial killers, turning a police inquiry into a search for something beyond human evil.
