Dear Hollywood studios: How many times are you going to try to replicate the success of William Friedkinâs âThe Exorcistâ by luring viewers with a promising new spin but ultimately falling back on the same old worn-out tropes? Itâs embarrassing, really: In January, it was âThe Cleansing Hour,â a film directed by Damien LeVeck about two digital media entrepreneurs who livestream bogus exorcisms â until one of their subjects goes off script and everything goes to hell ⦠both for the less-than-sympathetic main characters and for the unfortunate viewer who invested time in watching this disjointed debacle. Now, a mere two months later, we have âThe Seventh Day,â a horror film that follows a new priest fresh out of an American exorcism basic training camp. The newbie joins forces with a gruff veteran exorcist who has more in common with Philip Marlowe than Father Damien Karras. âThe Seventh Dayâ was released March 26 by Vertical Entertainment and Redbox Entertainment and is available through various video-on-demand platforms including Amazon Prime, Google Play and Fandango.
