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.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
miltonmogarty I watched this movie the other day and in an age where films are being remade and regurgitated it was good to see someone throwing a new angle on the exorcist genre. I liked this movie. It kept me watching and thinking from start to end as to how it would unfold in the end.I'm not a film critic and would find it very difficult to see the cracks in how it was made/shot/written etc. , obviously though on a budget but this gives it an extra edge more than anything else.It's really worth a watch if you get the chance.I'm not being a biased Irishman on that.The acting especially from Paddy Courtney is very good.The whole concept was well thought out.I'd like to think in future more people in the higher end of Hollywood would use more imagination like what I saw here.
heratyplant What a shame!!This started off so well, it just looked like it was gonna be quite good. The lead actress is great and the filming style good. Then halfway through it all goes wrong. The weirdest thing is when the previously confident 'reporter' suddenly starts heavily breathing at everything, I almost turned off right there, it's really annoying & there's nothing scary happening to make her do that. Then you realise that they've got nothing, nothing is going to happen, there's no money for a couple of cool special effect shots, no real creep factor, the plot falls apart, the actors become annoying and you hardly ever see the poor bedeviled one, even up until the end - what a terrible waste of time for all.Was gonna star 3 but as I nearly turned off 3 quarters through but trudged on to oblivion, it's a terrible 2 ;(
Joey Justiss 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!!
Nigel Holt I saw an Irish Exorcism at this year's New Mexico Fright Fest. I wasn't expecting anything very special. However, the resulting movie was a great surprise. The movie is presented as a documentary film made by an Anthropology student investigating exorcism. Although a 'found footage' movie, the movie feels more like a thriller, it's mood is very claustrophobic and the acting is all round good, however some actors are outstanding particularly the female lead Aislinn Ní Uallacháin, but Brian Fortune and Paddy C. Courtney also put in great performances.The mood of the film is underpinned by the Irish countryside who is almost a character itself in the movie.The story is very believable and suggests that the research is good. The writing is smart, engaging and knows it's onions. The viewer is treated to a movie that understands genre and understands economic use of story telling. It could be argued that Catholics make the best horror movies. There are frights but there is also a good intelligent story, this is more The Exorcist than The Heretic. Check this film out, it's cool
