The Exorcism of Molly Hartley (2015)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Fantastic!

An Exercise In Nonsense

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie is basically about a girl named Molly Hartley who gets possessed by a demon and a church father that comes to her aid.When you see this movie you are going to think the same I thought I have seen all of this before. This movie had its thrills, suspense and chills. The exorcism was good. The beginning we may be like it's the same story again and again but it changes. The ending of the movie was unexpected and unpredictable. The actress who did Molly did a good job and not to forget the female doctor.Yes and No I have mixed feelings in recommending this movie to anyone as I feel some might like it some might not. Notable ActingSarah LindGina Holden famous for her movies like Final destination 3, fantastic four, Saw 3d and many more.My Rating 6/10

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.

I created an account just to express my dissatisfaction with this sad excuse for cinema. First, the acting is horrendous and in the best attempts it feels forced like watching a bad play at my kids school. Second, this movie has more plot holes than every story assigned to and written by middle-school students worldwide. Third, it's just lazy. {SPOILERS} The writers made a LOT of assumptions and did no research: 1.) How does a priest find himself in prison after a failed exorcism? Yes someone died, but from an outside perspective there is absolutely nothing he could be charged with that a prosecutor would attempt to bring to trial. 2.) Molly was left unbound after being convicted *(assumed never actually confirmed)as a murderer who is a danger to herself and others. Any actual psychiatric facility would have had the crazy in a straight jacket and padded room immediately. 3.) Why is the only padded room outside of the woman's ward and through the opposite end of the men's ward? 4.) This line "Does my file tell you that my parents were also into the occult?" 5.) And then this line "I'm not insane, Dr. Hawthorne. I'm possessed." 6.) As for the ending well it seems that Matt Venne just got sick of putting this drivel on paper and rushed out the details for a convoluted, nonsensical, plot hole finally. {END SPOILERS}In a sentence, this lazy sequel borrowed(without research) more than it offered.

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.
