Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

sheridan929 is it just me or ms Taylor Dudley not only looks uncannily like Patricia arquette in stigmata but also has a similar hair cut? i believe it is not correct to quote words of the present pope out of context and use them to support a flimsy history. no matter what your religion is, i consider completely out of place to use any past or present religious leader or their images to make the story credible. At least, The Exorcism (the first one) has not shown such low tricks

leonblackwood Review: This is one of those typical Exorcist movies, with a straight forward storyline, which wasn't that great! Basically, an everyday young girl, Angela (Olivia Taylor Dudley) gets possessed by a demon and is hospitalised, with her dad, Roger Holmes (Dougray Scott) and boyfriend Pete (John Patrick Amedori), by her side. As there is nothing that the doctors can do, she is released from hospital but the on sight preacher, Father Lozano (Michael Pena), knows that there is something suspect about her. Soon after she is released, she causes car crash which puts her in a coma, and when they decide to turn of the life support machine, she comes back alive, to everyone's amazement. While she is in hospital, she wakes up in the night and nearly kills a baby, so they put her in a psychiatric hospital, so she can be under 24hr watch. After a few extremely weird events, which are caused by her, the hospitals psychiatrist, Dr. Richards (Kathleen Robertson) decides to release her, and her father gets help from a Vatican priest, Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson), to perform an exorcism with Father Lazano, to release the demon. After an epic showdown, which goes totally wrong, Angela escapes from the exorcism and later on her life, she starts to perform miracles around the world, with Father Lazano and Vicar Imani (Djimon Hounsou) closely watching her from the Vatican. So basically, the devil girl is roaming the streets getting the public thinking that she is a miracle worker when she is really the devil. Sounds great but it really wasn't! Because the movie broke even, there might be a part 2, which will see the priest go after the devil girl but I won't be rushing to see it. The acting was quite poor from Olivia, because she didn't really play the role convincingly. The rest of the cast wasn't bad but I would have liked to have seen more from Djimon, who was perfect for his role. The storyline also wasn't that great because none of the strange events were investigated by anyone, which I found a bit strange. If they would have looked into her past, they would have known that the random miracles that she was performing were suspect, especially after the police officer killed himself, and I'm surprised that no one looked at the recordings that were made in the hospital. Anyway, the film was badly put together and the sketchy storyline, really needed some work. Disappointing!Round-Up: As I'm quite a fan of Michael Pena, 40, who usually stars in some decent movies like Ant- Man, The Martian, Vacation, Fury, American Hustle, Gangster Squad, End Of Watch etc, I thought that I would give this movie a chance, and when I saw that Djimon Hounsou also was in the cast, I was quite looking forward to it. How let down was I! Djimon was only in a couple of scenes but Michael Pena put in a good performance, even though the script was awful. This movie was directed by Mark Neveldine, 42, who wrote and directed the funny Crank, Gamer, Crank: High Voltage, and the awful Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance. He really didn't make the most out of the decent cast and the sketchy script became predictable and quite boring after a while. Budget: $13million Worldwide Gross: $13.5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their horror/thrillers starring Olivia Taylor Dudley, Michael Pena, Djimon Hounsou, Alison Lohman, Kathleen Robertson and Dougray Scott. 2/10

kosmasp It's not really about exorcism, though it is about possession. And I have to admit, that I am surprised by the low rating here on IMDb. It's very well crafted, has an array of good actors in it and the script is solid. While I would agree that it doesn't reach the heights of some of the best horror movies out there, this is certainly a very good movie.The acting is strong, the story holds up and the ending works too. Yes some characters react strange to our main character, but overall it's not the worst behavior in horror movies (or in the clichés we are used to). I like the mentality of the movie and the director seems to know his stuff. As does the cinematographer (both plus leading actress are on an interesting audio commentary on the disc) too. I was pleasantly surprised by this and maybe you will be too

Avi Bluestein Seriously now - I can't believe someone at Lionsgate actually approved this horrible production.This is one of those movies that you watch and then suddenly the end credits appear and you ask yourself "what the f...". I mean, had it at least been scary. Or surprising. Or anything... No plot, just a sequence of exorcism or possession scenes that are very short, un- scary and not even surprising or mysterious. No hidden message, no good guys or bad guys, just a boring possession. No point at the end, no development during the movie... just people doing things while being shot by a camera and then it ends - with simply nothing really happening or any hint of anything.Quite boring, pointless and the acting is far from convincing.The horror is the fact this film was ever released. It truly scares me that there's someone who actually approved this!
