Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Argemaluco While Exorcismus was boring me to tears, I was trying to determine why some sub-genus of the horror can use the same formula over and over again without always boring us, while other ones get immediately irritating due to such a repetition. I couldn't reach a concrete conclusion, but I suspect the difference is on the variety. In the first case, we have, for example, the slasher cinema with its infinite variations of masks, motivations and weapons with which an anonymous murderer kills teenagers employing "creative" ways; in the second case, we have the exorcism films, which always refer themselves to the same elements: the teenager of an erratic behaviour, the priest with doubts about his vocation, the parents who can't accept the situation, the classic symptoms of satanic possession, such as vomits, hallucinations, demonic voice, and the disclosure of secrets the victim shouldn't know. The variations between every movie are so insignificant that they only accentuate their monotonous routines; besides of the fact that the religious component of these films requires some knowledge from the spectator. Anyway; all that leads me to the point that Exorcismus is another incorporation to the list of exorcism films which employ those trite elements, not to mention that it also contains bad performances (with one exception), nothing of suspense and a very poorly written screenplay.Due to its style, subject and manufacture, it's easy to put Exorcismus inside the same group of other horror films produced by the Spanish studio Filmax, such as Frágiles and La Monja. Under the precepts of that company, Exorcismus combines the rawness of the modern North American horror genre with the thick atmosphere of European cinema. I guess that those totally different influences tried to increase the film's economic potential, but on the other hand, they make it loose any identity. And if we combine that with a confusing and badly written screenplay, the result is an unbearable film which feels like a genuine waste of time.The only adequate performance in Exorcismus is Sophie Vavasseur's one, because she can evoke the changes of nature her character experiences, and I'm not only talking about the exorcism aspect, but also about her condition of teenager. The rest of the actors bring really horrible performances. In conclusion, Exorcismus is a pathetic horror film, and I really hated it, despite Vavasseur's performance.

Drew Davies 'Exorcismus' is another very typical exorcism movie, a girl gets possessed, acts a bit strangely and then people start dying. However the twist at the end manages to separate it somewhat from the others. The acting of a couple of members of the family is a little to be desired and the camera-work can seem a little like a teenager with a hand-held but for the budget it does what it needs to.Overall it's another case of where the trailer is far more interesting than the film itself but if this is your type of movie, it's worth watching as a rental.4/10

Chaosmetal69 This film is about a girl who gets possessed by an evil spirit and weird things start happening: the usual exorcism story line formula.The presentation of this setting for an exorcism movie though was extremely flawed at some parts though and the first half hour of the movie honestly bored me and felt cheesy at timesThe next half an hour of the movie was the best part of it though, good raw exorcism takes and good demon possession acting made me anticipate more.However the next half an hour the story took a bit of a twist and left me feeling kinda dry and disappointed.Put it this way, if you like exorcism movies check it out...but don't think you'll be watching an amazing new horror movie cause this is not it. If the movie stuck to the pure original exorcism style movie without trying to be different it probably would have been much better.

u992491 According to IMDb, I wasted 98mins of my life for this cinematic, genre-sullying piece of drivel. Best suited for audiences who enjoy: 1. Horror movies that are both dumb and annoying 2. Watching terrible acting at its finest 3. Scary movies that aren't scary so they can savour the irony.4. 'Simple' movies post lobotomy operation.In terms of possession movies, the original Exorcist is still the best - by a long shot. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (7/10), and more recently, The Last Exorcism (also 7/10) are better choices.
