Beautiful, moving film.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Let me keep this short with minimum spoilers. Here is a summary of why this movie went downhill halfway through the film.1. The movie started out great with the whole possession scene. The makeup was good and the scene had a tense atmosphere.2. Went to kind of Okay in the middle where Molly gets locked in the padded cell. The makeup degraded in terms of quality from the first possession scene. The CGI bug/insect was not top-notch and felt unnecessary to me.3. Ended with Wow that was lame with the whole occult scene. The Chaplain being leader of an occult (oh, come on!) was ridiculous. And who were the random occult members who just showed up at the end? It boggles the mind.So, to sum it up, this movie had the potential to be 7 stars or more had it been executed better with a few tweaks in the story-line here and there. But instead ended up like Jaws 3D, lame and soon to be forgotten.

I don't have a rational excuse to having watched the sequel of The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a film I absolutely hated and which I frankly doubt was successful enough to guarantee a sequel... in which the original actors don't even participate. But for some reason, I had some curiosity in finding out how the hell they would continue the story, or why someone thought it was a good idea to try it. To my surprise, The Exorcism of Molly Hartley ended up being better than I expected... despite shamelessly copying concepts, situations and even entire scenes from other films about demons and satanic possession, from The Exorcist to The Omen, with brief scales in Prince of Darkness, Rosemary's Baby and The Possession. On the positive side, the cast makes a good work in their roles, highlighting Sarah Lind and Gina Holden. The special effects also left me a good impression, either on their practical (Molly's makeup during the possession, the occasional gory moments) or digital (the obligatory insects which always accompany the demonic presence) variety. So, The Exorcism of Molly Hartley doesn't have a pinch of originality, but it kept me entertained thanks to its competent direction and solid performances, and I can give it a moderate recommendation as a decent horror film. Besides, the ending leaves the door opened to another sequel set in a high school, something which would return us to the premise of the original film. Good narrative symmetry. Leaving that aside, there truly aren't any important connections between this film and The Haunting of Molly Hartley. It could have been titled "Exorcism at the Asylum", and it would have been the same... but maybe, if that had happened, I wouldn't have had the curiosity to watch it. The Lord has strange ways... and also B-horror cinema does.

Judging from the number of fake reviews here already (come on IMDb, sort it out), it looks as though 20th Century Fox have got their interns rattling out fake shill reviews to try and make a few dollars out of this tripe. While marginally better than the first Molly Hartley film, this one is still pretty much in the 'utter nonsense' category. The storyline is below weak; preposterously stupid in the most part, the acting is simply dire. I felt offended that anyone would release this garbage for viewing by the public at large. The 'acting' is absolutely shocking. I doubt any of the cast would make it into a High School play let alone (one hopes) another film. As a horror fan I get to watch a lot of bilge, and this one is near the very bottom of the pile. Best avoided. I look forward to exorcising this rubbish from my Hard drive.

Matt Venne is the writer behind "The Exorcism Of Molly Hartley" and he does a nice job respecting the first film's story line. He picks up on the established mythos surrounding Molly's fated pack with Satan. Where the first film was good at masking the true story behind a playful haunting of a emotionally troubled high school girl, Venne exploits the demonic aspect to create a familiar, and obvious story line that pulls from all the possession lore available. It does, at times seem too cookie-cutter and expected, but "The Exorcism Of Molly Hartley" maintains the initial "truth" of Molly's situation established in the first film so I actually enjoyed watching this all play out. The cast and directing are stellar, both Lind and Sawa give great performances, Lind as Hartley-a victim of circumstance, and Sawa as her savior-who is also soiled by his dealings with the devil as a "failed" exorcist searching for redemption. It all could have been too hokey, redundant, or too contrived, but with Venne's script and Monroe's steady direction, "The Exorcism Of Molly Hartley" manages an enjoyable, creepy possession flick. Of course I love pretty much any film or story that revolves around exorcisms and demonic possession-next to Satanic cult horror-it is one of the few Christian themes I do enjoy in pop-lore.The special effects stay a steady blend of CGI and practical effects magic. The CGI is done with consideration to how "real" it will look on film so I didn't mind it. It actually works well here, plus there is enough practical, visceral stuff in "The Exorcism Of Molly Hartley" that I have to give props to the FX department. And I always enjoy seeing the creature make-up effects when creating the demon face of the possessed. Even if it all just looks so "Reagan- esque". The soundtrack and musical score are the expected creepy tones, and even though it isn't original, it isn't disposable. Overall "The Exorcism Of Molly Hartley" gives a nice demonic possession story with a solid story arc, it does seem a bit familiar-there are moments when it falls into the overplayed themes scene in these types of horror films. But-that being said-the movie has a nice devil cult aspect added to it when gives the ending a nice dark ending filled with both the spectacle and the flare of evil agenda that I enjoyed. There is one moment that is more laughable that thrilling-you will see it and know it-but most of the film stays serious, dark, and focused on the demonic fate of Molly Hartley in a more thrilling way than the first film.
