Fringes of Horror: Exorcismus (2010)

The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Exorcismus (2010)

Starring: Sophie Vavasseur, Stephen Billington
Director: Manuel Carballo

Premise:
A teenage girl thinks she is possessed and the family calls upon her uncle, who is also a priest to perform a secret exorcism.

My Take:
While there is a lot of familiar territory in this film, there is also a couple of nice surprises. The special effects are kept at minimum allowing the characters to build. For most of the film, the focus is on how this family is dealing with the possible possession instead of the act of the exorcism.
Also look for a quick cameo from Doug Bradley, but not as Pinhead.

Rating:
In the Middle (with lots of to like)
