Discover what &#039;The Exorcist&#039; director, David Gordon Green, considers his most horrific movie and why it might send him to hell quicker.

&#8220;Will send me to hell quicker&#8221;-‘The Exorcist’ Director Dishes on His Most Horrific Movie

David Gordon Green has always been a cinematic shape-shifter, knitting
emotionally haunting gothic tales with the skill of a master weaver. But then,
out of the blue, he took a sharp detour into comedy territory with Pineapple
Express, leaving everyone’s eyebrows raised. Yet, beneath the surface, his
dramatic flair continued to simmer. Green’s filmography is like a wild
rollercoaster ride through genre landscapes, filled with twists and turns.

His latest, The Exorcist: Believer, boldly steps into the haunting footsteps of
the 1973 classic. The same that once sent shivers down spines across the globe.
In a frank discussion, while delving into The Exorcist, Gordon unraveled the
most horrific movie of his extensive career.


DAVID GORDON REVEALED THE HORROR THAT HAUNTS HIS CAREER

Just as Gordon was venturing into new cinematic territories and dabbling in
comedy, he unleashed a movie with an ensemble cast. With its star-studded
lineup, expectations were sky-high, but reality had a different plan. The movie
received a drubbing from both critics and audiences. When questioned by Josh
Horowitz as to which of his two films, The Exorcist: Believer or Your Highness,
contained more sacrilegious elements, Gordon had a ready response. During an
interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gordon quipped, “I think Your
Highness will send me to hell quicker”.



To make matters even more candid, Gordon went on to assert that The Exorcist:
Believer contained the lion’s share of sacrilegious material. It appears that
the director, known for breathing new life into franchises like Halloween, ended
up digging an even deeper cinematic grave with Halloween Ends which could not
make it to Netflix.

Believer ventured into territory so controversial that it is regarded as
sacrilegious when compared to the original and the initial entry in the proposed
trilogy, clubbing with Your Highness.

No matter how big of a flop Your Highness turned out to be, Gordon has always
maintained a sunny disposition about it to this day.


ALL POSITIVES ON YOUR HIGHNESS

Gordon Green recently defended his film Your Highness during an interview on the
Happy Sad Confused podcast. Despite the movie’s critical and commercial
disappointment, Green humorously recalled how he once believed it would win him
an Oscar. He even showed the film to his children, insisting it was a
masterpiece and questioning why it received negative reviews.



While Green acknowledged that he does not endorse all of his past work, he
explained that he has no regrets. Essentially, this is because he has had
creative freedom without external pressures from studios or benefactors. He
trusts a group of people who provide honest feedback, allowing him to make bold
choices in his filmmaking journey.
