Amazing!
I really loved this movie from the start! Do not believe the low ratings! This is perfect if you are a fan of the supernatural genre with possession themes. The plot with the Good vs evil was great with an underlying message. I for once was happy to see a great conclusion to such topics. The lead did a great job and with jump scares I was totally engrossed. The plot twist towards the climax was a surprise! Highly recommended as it has a great plot buildup and character background as well. The antagonist was also scary and creepy. Simply loved it! The whole vibe of the movie is perfect for a scary movie night. - tonypeacock-1 - 3 December 2023
Generic..tick, Jump scares...tick but keeps you engrossed all the same
Now what can I say about this little low budget film. It is your typical possession film that has touches of the magnus opus of horror cinema, The Exorcist (1973).
In fact quelle surprise it is the story of exorcism and the religous conventions and has a small girl (like the aforementioned The Exorcist).
However when you get over the generic nature of some plotline and the inserted jump scares it does have some neat plot twists that keeps the viewer interested. Also look out for some neat special effects that show how cinema (even on a low budget has advanced since 1973).
The film explores some feminist issues in that only male priests are usually trained in the Exorcist schools, however a nun is involved centrally in the plot.
