The Exorcist: Believer is the latest installment in the franchise. However, fans, especially those with kids, want to know the age rating of the supernatural horror film. Here is everything you need to know about the film’s “R” rating and why it has the particular rating it was given.
What is The Exorcist: Believer age rating?
The Exorcist: Believer has been rated ‘R’ in the United States.
The “R” rating is usually given to films that contain a lot of adult content, excessive violence, disturbing imagery, offensive language, and sexual activity. This means that fans under 17 who want to see the film in theaters must be accompanied by an adult.
Why is The Exorcist: Believer rated ‘R’?
The Exorcist: Believer has been rated “R” as the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) has deemed the film deserving of the rating. This is because the film contains a lot of violent content, a lot of disturbing images, coarse language, and depictions of sexual content and sexual references.
This can only mean that filmmakers have not held back on the horror elements they wanted to showcase and very likely went all in on the horror and gore to put audiences deep into the heart of terror and did not water the experience down one bit. Moreover, the mention of “disturbing images”, while vague at first, seems to hint that the film will showcase extremely gruesome and horrific things that will be very difficult for viewers to unsee, even after the credits roll.
Thus, those under the age of 17 and very sensitive to horror, even the slightest jumpscare, might want to get their parents or adult siblings tagging along with them to the movies if they do not want to suffer from nightmares after viewing the film.
