Exorcismus (2010)
4/10
Ridiculous, contrived, over acted, and piggy backs much better films

Warning: Spoilers
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
