Wow! Such a good movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The film makers let us know there has never been a film about Exorcism in Ireland, so they felt compelled to make one...not that there was any demand for bad found footage tapes of Irish exorcisms. Of course nothing says Irish like making your possessed person look like Sadako.Lorraine (Aislinn Ní Uallacháin) let's us know she is doing this as a post graduate project for an unnamed University. Aislinn Ní Uallacháin looks very good and polished narrating on camera, however her screams and whines that come later are simply annoying as was the jerk cam. Indeed, the camera work was bad for a project and at one time we get to watch the inside of the car door and air vent. Perhaps this was homage to Exorcist 2 and the air demon Pazuzu, whose name begins with the same letter as "Poppy." Skipping the first 30 minutes would be time well saved. The characters themselves were never really developed as we only see them in short camera segments. What I did find interesting were the facts involving increased requests and performances of exorcisms. It is on the Internet so it must be true. Bonjour.Now growing up I did see one exorcism performed in a Charlotte NC church. It seems a young girl got "caught" and claimed she was possessed by a demon. It was exorcised in about 10 minutes or so and she got her virginity and good name back. It really didn't fool anyone except for my friend Doc, who eventually married her...and divorced a year later. Not too much of a shocker there.On top being a bad film, there is no swearing, sex, or nudity...just a PLOT SPOILER...another daddy issue. Jeez.

Oh no I thought....not another found footage film. 10 seconds in and I'm hooked.Hollywood has tried on so many occasions to reboot horror classics, not always successfully. When big budget spectacle distracts from the actual story the realism can fade out. This is certainly not the case in An Irish Exorcism. Fantastic performances from Irish actors in a well executed production. A seemingly ordinary documentary suddenly descends into a tense and disturbing nightmare for all involved.A low budget production with no extravaganza of special effects still manages to thrill via some immersive camera work, clever editing and sounds that haunted me. This film is a dark occult journey, and will leave you exhausted at the end.If films like Blair Witch and the Omen appeal to you give this little gem a try. You wont be disappointed.

Oh dear--another bad "exorcism" movie. Caught this one on On- Demand. I was not paying attention or I would have never bothered. This is yet ANOTHER "found footage" POS that bores you to death to start with and has you rolling with laughter at the end. Scares? Puh-leeze. If you thought this was scary, you probably also thought "Paranormal Activity" was a fright-fest.A blow-by-blow snooze-fest which has a whole lot of talking and very little action. Even the "priests" in this movie didn't want to be on camera and can you blame them? There is no question as to where this movie is going, what's going to happen before it gets there, and how it will end. I'm not going to bother you with details, but let me say this. There will only be ONE exorcism movie, and that's the original "Exorcist." You have to do more to scare me than have a girl shuffle around a floor with her hair covering her face (probably a good move on her part), have someone fake-growl, and the "crew" running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Good grief; I've been more scared at a local "haunted house." Not rated, not worth wasting your time, and not recommended.

What is the difference between an Irish exorcism and any other exorcism? The Irish exorcism is completely frustrating! There is nothing brilliant about this piece of digital movie making. Whoever rated this movie above a 1 was possibly possessed of some evil entity. It was evil to portray this movie in the likeness of a competent coherent found footage piece. The only redemption for this film is the nagging college student who finally shut the up! Horrible premise! Horrible script! Horrible acting (if you want to classify this dribble as acting)! Despicable camera work! Audio - bad! Editing - beyond bad! There is nothing scary about this film except that someone, somewhere, and I am guessing here, wants an audience to take this "poppy-cock" seriously! Quit film school strictly for the sakes of any other human soul experiencing having to plow through a crappy compilation not worthy of even a Razzie Award! I wanted the devil to claw my eyes out! I would have sold my soul just to have been relinquished of my despair in renting this piece of aborted film "work!" Don't waste your time! Jesus save us all! Especially those who made this film...because one would have to have an evil spirit to think this was anything other than hatred for your fellow man! Serial killers are kinder than anyone who contributed to the production of this film!!! I'll even go back to church if this director and actors promise they will never make another film! I truly will!!
