View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
View MoreHere's a short and sweet review. I'll sum it up.SPOILERS AHEAD.Emma, the beautiful bimbo gets possessed by Satan, why does Satan waste his time on some random person, who knows. So she is a brat to her brother, Mark. She tries to drown him, but fails. She also manages to kill her psychiatrist, and put her cousin in the hospital. May I remind you that she had sex with her cousin.....yeah, I won't dwell on that. I guess that's okay over in Europe. So the convenient uncle is a former priest, and comes in to do a series of exorcisms. But he has no success, at least that's what we are led to believe.The film was pretty goofy throughout, but one event made dark all of a sudden. She gets her brother run over with a vehicle. Damn, that was mean. And if that wasn't enough, she confesses the truth that she called upon Satan to "free" her, because she's a b-tchy teenager who misbehaved, and got in trouble. BOO-HOO. And that's not even the best part. It turns out her priest uncle was the mastermind of the whole possession. He used her to bring Satan into the real world. He recorded it all, so he could show the truth to the world. So the father dies, Satan just leaves for some reason. The uncle kills himself, and the family is completely destroyed. Well something positive had to have come out of all this. Nope, the tapes are gotten rid of, and the mother goes crazy. Wow, that whole film was pointless.I must say it was pretty entertaining, there wasn't that many bad things I could say about it, it was just okay. I would recommend it, it's worth one watch.
View MoreExorcismus is set in London in England where teenager Emma Evans (Sophie Vavasseur) lives with her mom Lucy (Jo-Anne Stockham) & dad John (Richard Felix) & younger brother Mark (Lazaro E. Ortli Ortiz), she should have a good life but Emma is unhappy. Emma feels that her parents are restricting her, not letting her go out, not letting her go to a proper school & making her look after her little brother (I can sympathise with Emma here though, Mark is an annoying kid) so Emma rebells & takes drugs, cuts herself & generally tries to be as awkward as possible. After the usual argument Emma collapses & has a fit on the living room floor (lucky they never had guests around) & is taken to hospital but is given the all clear, Emma then has anther fit & pukes up blood & starts to look very ill. Medical science has no answers so John calls in his brother, a priest named Christopher (Stephen Billington) who is convinced that Emma is possessed by the devil & only an exorcism will save her...This Spanish production was directed by Manuel Carballo & if you haven't already guess Exorcismus is a complete rip-off of the all time classic The Exorcist (1973), & a pretty bad rip-off as well. Just look at the similarities, the title Exorcismus is also the same as The Exorcist (not quiet enough for Warner Bros. to sue though), the central story of a young girl being possessed by the devil, the way that the Church steps in to perform an exorcism & the effect that it has on the girls immediate family. Sure, there are differences & the script throws in a lame twist at the end which has virtually no impact at all, the twist reveal is pedestrian & is not the dramatic height of the films as it should have been but rather a damp squib that left no impression on me at all. The script is slow going, at almost 100 minutes long Exorcismus drags & very little of note actually happens. It takes ages for anything to happen & the big problem is none of it is surprising, nothing in Exorcismus is particularly original or new. The events of Emmas possession are also really tame, she speaks in a deep voice, she has a fit, she pukes up some blood & that's about it, in fact it's surprising how readily her parents accept that she must be possessed by the devil despite the lack of any convincing evidence. Where's the foul mouth obscenities? Wheres the green vomit? Why doesn't her head spin round 360 degrees? Exorcismus feels like some sort of soap opera where some rebellious teenage girls acts weird for forty odd minutes, there are pointless flashbacks as well to nothing of any great significance.Filmed under the title The Possession of Emma Evans the makers go out of their way to play down the exploitation & horror, in fact the whole film is far too subtle & forgettable as it deliberately goes for a low key realistic ordinary suburban setting & feel. There's no blood or gore that I could remember, there are a few scenes where Emma hallucinates seeing hordes of Cockroaches emerging from various places including her boyfriends mouth in just about the only straight horror sequence in the entire film. A few people are stabbed, there's a bit of blood but nothing else worth mentioning. The makers of Exorcismus seem to refuse to build up any scares, any tension or generate any creepiness & as a result the whole film is very bland & dull. This whole low key realistic approach just doesn't do the subject matter or story any favours & in fact makes it difficult & boring to sit through.With a supposed budget of about $1,800,000 this was made in English by a Spanish crew, despite Doug Bradley getting a credit on the titles he's only in it for about two minutes. The rest of cast are average, I can't say I was particularly moved or impressed by any of the performances.Exorcismus is a total rip-off of The Exocist but manages to fail to even equal it let alone better it, it's a drab & dull film that offers nothing new or memorable. Not recommended.
View MoreEmma has an argument with her mother because she wants to go to a concert in London with her friends. She has a convulsion and her family take her to the hospital, but the doctors do not find any physical problem. Her father tries to convince his wife to send Emma to school, instead of homeschooling, but she prefers to keep Emma at home. Emma is sent to a psycho-analyst, but she asks her friend Rose to record her session of hypnosis. When Emma listens to the tape, she believes she is possessed by the devil and asks her parents to be submitted to an exorcism with her uncle, Priest Taylor. Her mother is against the ritual and recalls that Chris was responsible for the death of a teenager, in the past in an unsuccessful exorcism. But when Emma levitates in the kitchen in front of her family, her parents call Chris....If you could imagine a cross between the Exorcist, and Eastenders, with the now increasingly annoying found footage 'novelty' thrown in, you get this boring mess.It's a well trodden road when watching this, but the Priest wants to profit from the tapes, so there has to be a twist. Sadly there isn't anything to write home about, and it's as if the film makers haven't a clue either.The film ends with the girl in hospital, and special guest star Doug 'pinhead' Bradley, sitting by her bed and saying something of no relevance.It's boring, bar a few good moments from the lead, and it also offers nothing new.Bit boring really.
View MoreI 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!
