This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Realizing that their daughter's strange behavior is being brought about by a demonic possession, a family hires their troubled priest brother-in-law to perform an exorcism that should drive the being out.There's a lot to like with this one as it manages to get a lot right in here. One of the film's better examples of this is that this manages to contain all the necessary ingredients for the possession early on, practically in the first few minutes. The early signs here, from her cutting herself, hearing voices and vomiting really make sure that what's on display being nothing more than typical adolescent behavior, which really makes this stand-out by virtue of her drug use and scandalous behavior around her friends, is perhaps why this works so well. It's not until the psychologist interview that any sign of what's happening becomes remotely supernatural, and the clincher of her kitchen levitation being quite an effectively chilling scene sets things in motion really sells this idea nicely and continues the parts of her being overwhelmed by what's going on. As the scenes showing her possession are a great deal of fun, with these being brought along here as well as her crazed behavior, unnatural antics and bodily distortions give this a pretty creepy feel which makes this just fly right by. The quick pace is for the most part a major feature here at injecting this with some energy and momentum that lets this one get into its main selling point in the fact that the exorcism scenes are quite extensive and really fun. They follow through the usual motives here with the distorted eyes, constant swearing, hysterical screaming and burnt flesh that tends to crop up in nearly all of these types of scenes but they still come off a lot of fun and incredibly well, especially once it gets to the later half where it begins again in a far more lengthy, involved sequence that really gets all the usual fun associated for these kinds of scenes. It mixes in plenty of good here with the possessed being out and about in the room instead of being strapped down, which is all the more action-packed with the wrestling around the room, mentally- controlled objects flying around and even the demonic doppelganger getting involved here due to that. Despite this, there's a small facet that holds this one back which is the fact that it stumbles a bit in the last half with an overwrought guilty-conscience/ulterior motive plot- twist that come out of nowhere that inexplicably drags out the final exorcism over the course of several days in several sessions without the use of further help or outside influences, holding up the pace here somewhat that was built quite well in the early part of this. Still, it's one of the few recent-vintage British-themed horror films that hasn't been a complete waste of time.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, drug use and the off-screen death of a child.

So my friend told me to watch this movie , at first I laughed because I thought he is not pronouncing the name correctly but when I googled it found out it is real. Anyways this movie really kept on the edge of my seat almost the whole time. Great acting , I think that girl played the role of Emma beautifully and the role really suited her. The movie I think is very thrilling and gives you a good number of scares while also maintaining the curiosity of what happened and why it happened. It gives exorcism movies a breath of fresh air buy introducing manipulative tactics used by priest and also included typical elements of an exorcism movie.I think this movie deserves a lot more recognition and is really underrated , I found it to be way better than Exorcism of Emily Rose. A must watch for any horror fan.

I only watched this film because it starred 'Sophie Vavasseur'; and I loved her in 'Evelyn', although that was quite a few years ago...Normally I can't stand exorcism movies. They all use pretty much the same story line, scares, dialogue and the same crappy makeup in order to portray the demonic possession. However, 'exorcismus' didn't. Without makeup and effects, the demonic possession is convincingly acted by the character 'Emma'; it is simply fantastic. Her acting, especially with her eyes is all you need to be convinced of her body invasion. I loved it. Sophie Vavasseur is such a talented actress.. even her British accent was flawless, considering she's Irish! Perfection. She's indeed very creepy at times.Obviously, you can't have an exorcism film without a priest, the demon saying obscene things and a few deaths but I feel this film handed these things in such a way that it made it differ from the rest. I liked the twist.. that was good... I also really believed the family dynamic. This film was believable because their lives were so normal and mundane and they were still trying to act that way even though this 'demon' had possessed their daughter. I just found it incredibly believable unlike how it's portrayed in 'the exorcist.'Overall, I really liked this movie. I liked the cast, the script, the twist, the fact it was a British Production; everything about it. I already recommended it to a friend and she thought the same as me.. the acting on Sophie's part was brilliant.Watch it!

Exorcism films are becoming a dime a dozen and this one is close to a penny a dozen. They take the latest fad of making a faux documentary about a 'real' exorcism but the characters are vapid and empty, the footage stupid and ridiculous and the acting is simply terrible. I read one reviewer who said that people who don't like horror shouldn't watch this because then they'll give the movie false negative and that's ridiculous because I LOVE horror...I'm a horror junkie...films like The Exorcist, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose make this utter crap look even worse. The story is weak and contrived and you don't for a minute believe any of it and that is a key point to really getting under people's skin.I won't even bother discussing the cast because honestly they are all just awful. I'm actually really blown away by a few reviews that called out how 'good' the performances were because I just thought they were terrible.The Director, Manuel Carballo, doesn't have a lot of experience behind the camera and it shows in the mish mashed story and silly performances from the cast. The redeeming quality is the very few scenes which do have some pretty intense moments but it certainly is nothing you can't see in any other exorcism movie with a much better story. Even hard core horror fans should skip this one because there isn't much to entertain in this dud. 4/10
