Not nearly as bad as most peoPle are saying
I'm honestly shocked too see so many bad reviews. This movie was clever, disturbing, original, convincing and well-acted. There was nothing pedestrian about it, and it seems most people who dislike it tend to like the average, predictable films there are too many of. Many, not all seem to enjoy these. I for one love scary movies but hate gore, and hate predictable, disposable movies with a passion. I typically agree with the audience when there's a massive number of thumbs-down, but in this particular case, I completely disagree. Someone even said it was "boring". I wasn't bored for a second, so I have no idea what they're talking about, but I guess if you don't like movies about exorcisms or hauntings, you'll dislike this as well, obviously. As far as exorcism films go, it's one of the better I've seen.
Avoid This Demonic Possession Flick
The trailer for this film looked very promising when I saw it last December. The movie was released in early January and I went to see it the day it came out. What a mistake. This is another one of those shaky-cam movies that are all the fashion these days in the horror business. The plot is really unoriginal and very predictable. If you have seen several recent horror films over the past few years, you can probably predict what is going to happen while this movie unfolds. The ending has to be the lamest I have ever seen. The audience groaned through out the theater when I saw it and apparently that was the typical reaction at many other screenings. Don't pay attention too much to the cover art. The woman on the cover appears for only about one or two seconds and is not actually possessed. Sure she looks strange but she is not a major character in the movie. She's more of an extra really. That is a very misleading cover. Save your money and buy a film that you will...
90 minutes of your life you won't get back
I never write a product review but I wanted to write one to warn others about this movie. Everything you need to know about this is in the trailer. The nun on the front is actually a passerby in a scene and nothing to do with the film at all. If you want to see a really poor exorcist meets blair witch then this is for you. I regret watching this as my neither my wife nor myself enjoyed it despite the beautiful italian architecture that it doesn't even appreciate.
