Menendez: Le jour du seigneur

The Day Of The Lord: Menendez (Juli Fábregas) is a former priest, a boy died during an exorcism and he was imprisoned. He drinks whiskey, has nightmares, people appear to him, he speaks to a mysterious person on the phone. It's difficult to tell his realty from his delusions. A friend he met in prison visits and tells the ex-priest that his teen daughter Raquel (Ximena Romo) is possessed and begs him to perform an exorcism. Eventually Menendez agrees and the girl arrives at his house. But is she possessed or just an ordinary teenager acting up. Menendez uses a violent form of exorcism convinced that she is plagued by a demon who is taunting him. A violent and disturbing film, there are some scenes which might even distress a hardened horror fan. All of the film is shot in the priest's dark and gloomy house and there is only a thin vein of humour to relieve bleakness of the proceedings. Good performances by Fábregas and Romo. Directed and Co-Written by Santiago Alvarado. On Netflix. 7/10.

Some scenes were so funny. It made me laugh really. Overall not a good movie. When it finished, I asked myself, what did I watch? Too much violence, even more kind of pedo and incest scenes made me disturb..i am not sure about second part..

This is litrally one of the best excorcism movies I've seen since the last great excorcism foreign movie I watched well done part 2 please

After a long time finally something good from Netflix in horror genre... Thoroughly enjoyed and twists kept me on my couch until the end. Good flick on Halloween and must watch for horror movie lovers....

Starts off slow with lots of dialogue in the first hour, but the last half hour or so more than makes up for it. I personally don't believe in demonic possession but I do watch these type of movies for entertainment value.

If you think about it, a demon is not going to easily release a person from possession after being read a few passages from the Bible. So I like the fact that this movie went where most won't...infliction of real pain on the possessed to loosen the demon's hold, in graphic detail. At times I wasn't entirely sure whether the priest was a sadist or a real exorcist. Watch and you'll find out !

If the first hour had been paced better, I would rated the film a 9. Still liked watching it though, for its originality and acting by the 3 main characters.
