It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This kind of exorcism movie makes you realize that anything else than "The Exorcist (1973)" is a crap, not just for the story or the acting, but for the ambiance of the film. Nothing compares to the old 70s horror movies."The Exorcist" makes any other movie look like a bad remake of it and causes disgust in the eye of the viewer.About Gail's exorcism is nothing much to say. Maybe the fact that she looks to be aware of being possessed and enjoys it every second. She's more like a drunk slut exposing herself to males during blackouts and wakes then up in embarrassment.When possessed Regan MacNeil exposed herself in "The Exorcist" it was anything but attractive, sexy or even obscene. It was probably the most scary part of the movie. I can't remember to have been scared by Gail Bowers putting her hand in her panties.3 out of 10 for the pantie scene.

For a low budget horror, this movie rocks... up until the last half hour which comprises itself of the exorcism chapter of the film, which everything is in essence, building up to. We know it's coming, we expect it to blow your socks off, but it just doesn't.You've got all the staple food of a spine chilling low budget horror.Simple effects used correctly really make your budget work for you. Dario Argento would be proud. The growl when Gail turns her head is a sweet sound byte, I think I'll use that for my "You've Got Mail" wav for GMail.When Gail looks in the mirror, walks away and her reflection stays there smiling at her I thought, hell yeah that's a cool gimmick.Gratuitous nudity is something directors are so afraid of these days, but with a straight to video release one doesn't have to worry so much about ratings, and like the MC from Cabaret would exclaim, these girls are hot, hot, hot! But, that's not enough to make a film other than a porn so we have to put that aside, and get scrutinizing, it has to be done, or as a movie reviewer I simply am not doing a very good job.I'm fairly certain there is no such ritual as the Rite of Abraham in this capacity as the Rite of Abraham actually refers to the act of circumcision. (SEPHER YEZIRAH Chaper 1:2) The place this movie fails in my opinion is two-fold.The blind priest doesn't look the part. He lacked the depth demanded by the part. He looks too young, and the intensity is simply not there. Also the demon is in a word; unimpressive.I cringed when they blatantly ripped off The Exorcist and Stigmata and actually laughed during the exorcism. The finale which consisted of the exorcism, or last half hour were just terrible.It's like the movie was hopeful for the first half but culminated in a complete meltdown at the end.Really it started out as a decent 6, but melted down into a 2... 3 since I'm feeling generous.

We rented this movie because we were looking for something scary to watch, I had seen The Exorcist before so this movie looked like it would work. It was just as creepy as The Exorcist if not more! Some of the scenes in this movie are so shocking, its perfect if you are looking for a movie to watch in the dark and want to get scared! The screams that come out of the people in the movie are bloodcurdling, especially the older sister when she sees what is happening to her younger sister as the possession takes hold of her... it gives you chills!The make-up was really well done, we sat there and saw blood spurting from people and eyes getting gouged out, but it looks realistic enough to where you don't sit there and think about it being fake -- all you think about is how gross and scary it all is...Definitely a movie to rent if you want to get creeped out!

Well, I just saw this movie in the comforts of my own living room, and I was glad I didn't see this one in the theater.WHY: The acting of most cast members was mediocre at best. The special effects could have been a lot better, as for the C.G.I. its non-existent and as for the sound, cinematography and make-up they are all under the normal standard.If you like B-movies this would get a 6 from me, however for what I expected from this movie it gets a 5-.Quality is in the eye of the beholder.I would not recommend this one to my friends.There's only one way to convince your self about this movie and that's to go see it or rent it a the video store.Greetzz yuribear
