Eli Roth Presents: The Legion of Exorcists

I might be jaded, I love horror movies and I don't know if this is supposed to be fun and cheesy. It feels like it is trying to take itself seriously but REALLY missing the mark.

The first few episodes have truly unreal bad acting in the "reenactments". There's also this forced intensity with the Legion of Exorcists telling the stories. This show has been fun but it is definitely something to just have on in the background while you're doing something else; like chores. I don't know. Not something I would suggest going out of your way to watch but still fine if you like watching schlocky horror.

Super irritating actors narrating super lame stories and I *should* know better because, Eli Roth...not sure if I'm more annoyed with him, Netflix or myself for having wasted precious minutes on this pap. What never fails to baffle me is the lack of coherence the "exorcists" display. Anyone with even a modicum of exposure to the topic knows the supernatural rules of engagement and why try casting out demons when the individuals affected aren't adherents to any kind of relationship deterrent, ie. Becoming Christians = incompatibility with the demonic. What sort of "pastors" are these people? Did they get ordained online? I am decided, I am most annoyed with myself for being lured in by boredom. Eli Roth score 1, me - goose egg.

I'm not sure how you make a documentary series about exorcism that ends up this dull. Although it does not seem truthful. I have seen documentaries about the history and belief of exorcism and there are a couple facts that don't line up with this show. First off exorcism is very rare in the modern world especially in the modern U. S. Yet this show makes it seem so common. An exorcism can only be preformed by an exorcist, it is special training separate from any and all other training in the Catholic church. Yet when you watch the show they are listed as pastor or bishop but none are listed as exorcist, IMDB has them listed as actor and when you go into the profile it says they have been acting for the past 20 years or however long they have been doing it. So none are actual exorcists and even if the claim is they were reading off actual files from real exorcists it's doubtful because they never got permission. An exorcism cannot be performed unless you receive authorization from the Catholic Church and I believe that authorization comes from the Vatican not your local church either way none of the stories mention contacting the Catholic Church for approval before performing an exorcism.

Even if it is all true how the stories are told is just dull, slow and mostly boring.

How can Eli Roth be allowed to get away with this rubbish?

First he tries to tell us they are true stories. Where's the physical evidence?

Then that this, so called, Legion of Exorcists are Bishops, Reverends etc. They are actors, look at the credits.

Sadly there are a lot of people who believe this rubbish and making fictional programmes and try to pass it off as real, is dangerous.

The acting is atrocious. The stories weak.

The only positive is I had a really good laugh watching it, even though I'm sure I'm not supposed to.

I don't think Eli Roth does his reputation any good with these repeated poor quality fictional programmes.

Well 1st off the Pentacles are a sign of protection that dates back befor catholicism and Christianity ever existed. And it doesn't mean witchcraft. And the upside down pentacle represents The Horn God we is father dark the 2ed half of the year when nights are longer then days.

NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVIL remember it pre dates before catholicism and Christianity.

People need to stop being so stupid and believe what you see in movies and hear on the news and tv shows do the research for once.

Well Blessed Be May the Gods and Goddess Protect you all and your families
