Exorcism

I usually have the SciFi channel on in the background... most of the movies are horrible on there. This movie, however, I thought was great! It was a bit corny and there was some overacting, but that's to be expected from a budget film. Besides, compared to most other SciFi movies, it looked like a Hollywood blockbuster.

The reason I am rating this so high is because this movie actually had a great message. You usually walk away from a big Hollywood wondering what the heck you just saw... a bunch of fast-paced action or whatever.......

You hardly ever get a movie like this with a good message. Let the other users say what they like. They are just noobs at life. This movie is at the top of its class in my book. Good job!

The 1.0 voting is for the demons' make-up, which was okay, and for the evil nurse, who was the only actress in this dud.

Black and latino thugs break into the house of a whitebread, Christian family. When one of the thugs is visited by an angel, they run away, leaving the perfectly coiffed dad's-jeans father and his virginal blonde daughter in shakes. Meanwhile, the mother is ready to leave the hospital where she's treated for who-cares-what affliction when an eeee-vil nurse warns her of impending doom.

The thugs start to experience evil possession but are saved by a black minister that teaches exorcism-101 to the aforementioned blonde daughter, as you do. Then the whitebread dad admits to his brain-dead wife that he once joined a Satanic cult to obtain wealth and now he fears that his whole family is cursed. That's before he's possessed by the Devil and refuses to leave his bed.

This is a horror film a written by a "7th Heaven" writer, but with less subtlety. It looks like an educational film, with the same absence of style, drama-class rejects cast and a patronizing message. Previous reviewers stated that they thought it was a comedy, which I can relate to. The acting and dialogue are so atrocious that it borderlines on parody. The mother in particular is a hoot, with her xanaxed smile even when the evil nurse clutches the rosary beads from her hands.

This goes highly recommended to bad-movie lovers. My eyes were glued to the screen, mesmerized by the nullity of everything, but still I couldn't turn it off. It's fascinating that someone, somewhere financed this.

Usually I give a film at least a few scenes before praising it or condemning it, but I must say this one was horrid from start to finish. If this is the best Mr. Baker can do perhaps he should take up a job in road construction or something. The acting was lousy on everyones part. Many seemed to be reading poorly written cue cards. The dialogue was stomach wrenching. Mr Baker must have had a typewriter on set cranking out lines as they were being filmed. The only redeeming feature of this film (at least to the male viewers) was the eye candy provided by Nichole Dionne. Alas, that was not enough to salvage any facsimile of entertainment from this reel of wasted cellulose because the "actress" Karen Knotts was stuck to her like a conjoined twin with a performance that should have won her an anti-Oscar. As for the rest of the cast. It would seem that they agreed to do the film if their photos were placed in the IMDb. Unless they put them there themselves and cheated themselves out of the cost of a Waffle House breakfast. Mr. Baker also played casting director in this little field trip selecting them as well, proving that he truly has no place in the industry. Period. One thousand words could not present the injustices of this film. So, I will wrap up with, avoid at all costs.

I feel it was a good first attempt for this writer/director/producer/casting director, but if he would have done less maybe it would have been tighter. It seems more for kids and is aimed at getting them back to God and the church. It does get preachy, but I think it is more a religious film than a horror film. That is why I felt the humor at parts was important and good; it could have even used some more. I enjoyed it and the story. I know many people that do have a true fear of God.

Some of the actors were good, some not so good. I think the casting of the mother was intentional. She was over the top and campy - it was fun. I enjoyed the special effects, one of the best scenes is a scene with an evil girl and a thief in a car. She turns into an animal/demon right in front of your eyes and scares the hell out of guy. I liked the makeup for the monsters and demons also - very cool.

Again, it was a good first attempt and congrats on getting it done and out there. It has a positive message and is good for children. If it puts one troubled kid back on track then the film has done it's job.

I honestly thought this movie was a spoof on all of the exorcism movies, so I guess the joke's on me; I laughed my head off! If it was intended as a comedy, then it was at least a 9 out of 10; the overacting was superb, as was the plot line. I especially loved the ghost walking through the house, as well as the guy with the frothing mouth in the chapel; both were hilarious! :-)))))))

Anyway, if one truly wants to watch a horror movie, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) better. However, few horror movie spoofs could touch the plot lines and acting of this one! The only thing that would have made it better would be the inclusion of Anna Faris in the cast! She could have done a mean possession scene!
