Funny thing – when I was walking out of the theater, I heard a great deal of complaining about this film. I found it pretty odd, as it was one of the better found-footage movies I’ve seen in a long time. Sure, it’s the “assembled found-footage” so it takes a little bit of credibility out of the whole thing. But I tried to jump into the story, believing (for a moment) that it’s real.
Exorcism movies tend to get better and better, with young girls being possessed by demons all the time. This one’s a bit different though. This time a mother was possessed, and a daughter tries to find out what had happened to her when vatican snatched her from the US mental hospital. All with her documentary guy and plenty of cameras for coverage. They travel to Rome and meet some priests who will try and help, being all natural and casual and all (too bad they have microphones attached, pretty weird, right?)
But all in all this movie actually works. It’s not overdone, not over-played and sometimes it even looks casual. Plus the plot is written well enough so you won’t guess every moment ahead of time, and you definitely won’t guess the ending. Good watch!
