Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes

Another bad choice by me! I chose this one from the video store and hoped to see a good "exorcism" movie.

The blurb said it has real footage and that it wasn't doctored. Well within 3 milliseconds anyone could tell this was scripted and acted. And badly! I turned this off after 20 minutes and I so very rarely do that. Enough said.

Seems that after all of the recent exorcism movies that someone thought it'd be a good idea to put out another. They were wrong.

So, anyone who is thinking of hiring this stinker I can save them the time and let them know ....don't!

I've watched this just a few moments ago and I don't believe how people are trying to copy/paste the real life's of people like Anneliese's real story. If you want to know the real life and what really happened to her go and watch the documentary, or read it on Google.

The Exorcist Tapes is the third movie in the very loose Paranormal Entity/Investigations franchise and is made by infamous production company The Asylum (Who I'm sure I don't need to introduce).

It tells the true story of Anneliese Michel and the case of her supposed exorcism and the two warring factions who tried to decide her fate. The doctors who wanted her to go to a hospital and seek medical treatment and the parents/priests who deemed her possessed and demanded she be subject to an exorcism.

The movie plays out as if it's real footage of the event which I find a tad exploitative and in bad taste considering the true story, what happened and the fate that Anneliese was finally dealt.

In true Paranormal Entity and Asylum tradition the movie looks ugly, has no budget behind it, has a mediocre cast and people behind the camera who must have just graduated amateur film school.

If you want to know the story of Ms.Michel then google it, maybe watch the documentary but leave this nonsense in the cold where it belongs.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Rather bad taste pretending it's real footage based on what actually happened

Everything is just so poor

Incredibly boring. I genuinely thought the movie was repeating at one point. If you're trying to intimidate a neighbor into moving, play this loudly up against the wall. That's the only use I can think of for this absolute waste of time.

Complete rubbish, more acting than real events, one for the rubbish bin I think. Why film studios persist in spewing out these lame movies is beyond me, but they do have an audience, but if your tricked into thinking this is for real, then look away, it's nothing more than a poorly constructed fiasco. The last few years have seen an influx of rubbish like this, telling the viewer that what you are about to see is real........surely movie-goers are not so easily lead these days ? Well maybe they are, because this is available on a shop shelf near you, but do yourself a favour and keep walking, if you don't you will wish you had !!!
