Exorcismus (2010)
4/10
Mediocre and not scary at all...
28 January 2013
The specific sub-genre of exorcism movies do only dish out the occasional great movie once every now and then, and this movie, however, is not one of those overly great ones.

The story here is fairly generic, straight-forward but also somewhat predictable, which ultimately causes the movie to lose appeal and fail to stand out in a sub-genre that is already flooded with less than mediocre movies.

The acting in the movie was by definition good enough, nothing extraordinary, and not even a small appearance by horror icon Doug Bradley managed to lift the movie up from mediocrity. However, I will say that the actors and actresses in the movie didn't have all that much material to work with, so it was sort of difficult to shine in this movie.

As for horror and shocking moments? Well, don't get your hopes up, because there aren't any. This movie doesn't keep you on edge or make you jump, cringe or cower in any way. I will say that the effects of the possessed Emma was good enough, though I have seen better in other movies.

The movie in itself is a good enough attempt at the genre, it just fails to leave a lasting impression and doesn't manage to distinguish itself from so many other movies of the same type.
