Highly Overrated But Still Good

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Let me keep this short with minimum spoilers. Here is a summary of why this movie went downhill halfway through the film.1. The movie started out great with the whole possession scene. The makeup was good and the scene had a tense atmosphere.2. Went to kind of Okay in the middle where Molly gets locked in the padded cell. The makeup degraded in terms of quality from the first possession scene. The CGI bug/insect was not top-notch and felt unnecessary to me.3. Ended with Wow that was lame with the whole occult scene. The Chaplain being leader of an occult (oh, come on!) was ridiculous. And who were the random occult members who just showed up at the end? It boggles the mind.So, to sum it up, this movie had the potential to be 7 stars or more had it been executed better with a few tweaks in the story-line here and there. But instead ended up like Jaws 3D, lame and soon to be forgotten.

This movie was horrible, but hilarious. If the writers had just taken a few steps further into the "ether of hilarity" they could have wound up with the "Evil Dead," instead of this tripe. The sheer lack of knowledge that any of these writer's actually has about the Catholic church or demons makes it funny to begin with.For starters, no priest would be cast out because the host died during an exorcism. He wouldn't be sent to jail, or prison, or hell--lol. Secondly, an upside down cross in Catholicism actually means you follow St. Stephen the martyr, who was crucified upside down out of reverence for Christ's crucifixion, there's actually nothing Satanic at all about an upside down cross. I could go on with all the terrible plot holes and plot writing in this film, but really, it would take me five hours and five pages to write it all down.Just don't bother with this film, as the acting is as terrible as the writing. What kind of cops actually show up 8 hours AFTER someone called to say that screaming was heard in the apartment? What girl, having just committed mass murder of two dear friends, is just gently escorted into an asylum with no serious restraint? No demon is going to say, "hey baby, want to have intercourse" while it's in a host body that's all slimy and puked on etc... Give Satan a little credit for taste, at least. If these producers had just bothered to take the stupidity of this movie and turn it into "hilarity" by tweaking the lines a little (not even that much) they could have had an excellent horror-comedy on their hands. That I would have loved to watch, but this film is laughable only because it's just that terrible. Save your $, don't watch this piece of tripe.

Judging from the number of fake reviews here already (come on IMDb, sort it out), it looks as though 20th Century Fox have got their interns rattling out fake shill reviews to try and make a few dollars out of this tripe. While marginally better than the first Molly Hartley film, this one is still pretty much in the 'utter nonsense' category. The storyline is below weak; preposterously stupid in the most part, the acting is simply dire. I felt offended that anyone would release this garbage for viewing by the public at large. The 'acting' is absolutely shocking. I doubt any of the cast would make it into a High School play let alone (one hopes) another film. As a horror fan I get to watch a lot of bilge, and this one is near the very bottom of the pile. Best avoided. I look forward to exorcising this rubbish from my Hard drive.

I found it to be a pretty good exorcism movie actually. The scenes were very creepy. The acting was quite good. There were only two things that kind of ruined the movie for me. The first was the choice of actor for the exorcist. They would have been better off picking an average looking Joe. Instead we get super model, chiseled, father sexy stubble. The second and worst part was the ending. I'll be honest, the ending was just plain terrible. They had a great twist going and somehow just said to heck with it when writing the screen play. The ending had scenes that made little sense in how they developed, and the writers apparently were just tired of writing the movie.
