The Worst Film Ever

Thanks for the memories!

How sad is this?

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The specific sub-genre of exorcism movies do only dish out the occasional great movie once every now and then, and this movie, however, is not one of those overly great ones.The story here is fairly generic, straight-forward but also somewhat predictable, which ultimately causes the movie to lose appeal and fail to stand out in a sub-genre that is already flooded with less than mediocre movies.The acting in the movie was by definition good enough, nothing extraordinary, and not even a small appearance by horror icon Doug Bradley managed to lift the movie up from mediocrity. However, I will say that the actors and actresses in the movie didn't have all that much material to work with, so it was sort of difficult to shine in this movie.As for horror and shocking moments? Well, don't get your hopes up, because there aren't any. This movie doesn't keep you on edge or make you jump, cringe or cower in any way. I will say that the effects of the possessed Emma was good enough, though I have seen better in other movies.The movie in itself is a good enough attempt at the genre, it just fails to leave a lasting impression and doesn't manage to distinguish itself from so many other movies of the same type.

'Exorcismus' is another very typical exorcism movie, a girl gets possessed, acts a bit strangely and then people start dying. However the twist at the end manages to separate it somewhat from the others. The acting of a couple of members of the family is a little to be desired and the camera-work can seem a little like a teenager with a hand-held but for the budget it does what it needs to.Overall it's another case of where the trailer is far more interesting than the film itself but if this is your type of movie, it's worth watching as a rental.4/10

This movie is nothing new to anyone who has ever watched a film about exorcism(s). Throughout the movie we encounter the standard possession scenes. a demon (or spiritual entity) taking complete control of a person's body for any length of time, remaining dormant at other times. The movie follows your run-of-the-mill exorcism-movie progression… the demon at first seems to only manifest timidly, with more boldness as the film progresses, and finally stops bothering to hide itself altogether, along with a spiritual adviser to try and excise the demon.There are a couple of things that set this movie apart from the others, though, and that was quite pleasing.The first is the complete lack of "jump" scenes, at least from my perspective. There might be a few scenes where viewers are scared or grossed out, but not nearly to the standard found in most movies in the exorcism sub-genre. For me, I found it a bit disappointing… I honestly love shock scenes, and this movie needed a bit more excitement. It would be a good movie for those who are easily scared or unfamiliar with the concepts of possession, but has little else to offer as far as suspense. I might be able to watch this movie with my friends who are not horror or suspense fans, as it holds little of either.Another element that is a bit different in this movie is the exorcist himself. We know little enough about him at the beginning of the movie, but as the movie progresses his character deepens towards the climatic twist; and the foreshadowing is there for those who watch closely. The reasons for events in and around the possession and exorcism are fairly unique; my kudos to the writer for (as far as I know) introducing something a little bit new into the genre, instead of completely recycling The Exorcist.I didn't notice that the acting was bad; it really wasn't. The female lead Sophie Vavasseur did quite a good job in her role, especially in the demanding scenes where she must switch personalities between the teen Emma and the possessing spirit; both in attitude, body and facial expression.Overall, I can't really recommend this movie to any horror/suspense fan unless they are looking for another cookie-cutter supernatural film to whittle away the time.

According to IMDb, I wasted 98mins of my life for this cinematic, genre-sullying piece of drivel. Best suited for audiences who enjoy: 1. Horror movies that are both dumb and annoying 2. Watching terrible acting at its finest 3. Scary movies that aren't scary so they can savour the irony.4. 'Simple' movies post lobotomy operation.In terms of possession movies, the original Exorcist is still the best - by a long shot. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (7/10), and more recently, The Last Exorcism (also 7/10) are better choices.
