I only watched this film because it starred 'Sophie Vavasseur'; and I loved her in 'Evelyn', although that was quite a few years ago...

Normally I can't stand exorcism movies. They all use pretty much the same story line, scares, dialogue and the same crappy makeup in order to portray the demonic possession. However, 'exorcismus' didn't. Without makeup and effects, the demonic possession is convincingly acted by the character 'Emma'; it is simply fantastic. Her acting, especially with her eyes is all you need to be convinced of her body invasion. I loved it. Sophie Vavasseur is such a talented actress.. even her British accent was flawless, considering she's Irish! Perfection. She's indeed very creepy at times.

Obviously, you can't have an exorcism film without a priest, the demon saying obscene things and a few deaths but I feel this film handed these things in such a way that it made it differ from the rest. I liked the twist.. that was good... I also really believed the family dynamic. This film was believable because their lives were so normal and mundane and they were still trying to act that way even though this 'demon' had possessed their daughter. I just found it incredibly believable unlike how it's portrayed in 'the exorcist.'

Overall, I really liked this movie. I liked the cast, the script, the twist, the fact it was a British Production; everything about it. I already recommended it to a friend and she thought the same as me.. the acting on Sophie's part was brilliant.

Watch it!

I'm twenty one and went to see this movie with a friend. To be honest, we only went to see it as we had a 2 for 1 voucher but nevertheless, we were in hysterics at this film and we found ourselves quoting it days later. The last stop-frame animation movie I saw was Coraline, and that was both creepy and genius. ParaNorman was both genius and hilarious with a hint of darkness and creepiness towards the end.. "I don't want to go to sleep, and you can't make me!!!" All of the voices were well cast but I especially like Tucker Albrizz as Neil and Anna Kendrick as Courtney. Pretty hilarious.. With some teen/adult humour for the older ones and the obvious laughs and humour for the younger ones, this film is a must-see! It may be a little scary for small sensitive children but mostly it's fun to watch and trust me adults, you will have the occasional laugh. I give this movie 10 out of 10 because a lot of hard work was put in to this picture.. and they did a great job. Check out some of the films B -rolls on youtube too.. pretty interesting.
