Acerca de esta película

In her final year at school, Anthropology student Lorraine decides to film her final project – the subject of exorcism within the Catholic Church. Recording interviews with priests from the local diocese, she stumbles upon Fr. Byrne, an older priest who is currently helping a young mother whose daughter is apparently possessed by a demonic force. The curiosity of Lorraine, along with her camera operator, Cathal, leads them down a dark path of discovering the terrifying truth, and things go from strange to worse as all involved become entangled into a frightful journey to save a little girl’s life.

I like the genre and this one is typical not good but watchable for me. There are many examples of the makers not understanding pace, or things that needed cutting so one example will do. A diary is found by someone alone with the camera. The diary can be seen very well. But the person says they should do a closeup to see it better. The CU is blurry so they go back to the original distance and say that looks fine. 20 seconds of nothing. It's amazing the simple things the makers don't understand.

If you like the "found footage" genre you may enjoy this. I am giving it a 3 out of 5 rating though. It was extremely hard to understand the dialogue with all of the shouting and screaming and everyone doing it at the same time. The movie does not show the exorcism itself, but there are a lot of "jumps" in this movie.

I watch a ton of these movies, there were places they could have gotten a scare out of you, but they just lost the momentum and focused on something else. Left to much hanging. I thought the ending was poorly done. Could have been done in a more suspenseful way. Left me disappointed.
