Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

tresm87 This has a very interesting concept about evil/possession/exorcising within the subconscious realms and Aaron Eckhart puts everything he has into the character he plays. The horror cliches however are some of the worst I've seen. The unconvincing demonic effects like black/red eyes with pitiful cgi and the demonic voices that sound like funny drag queens are 2 of the dumbest aspects of this already very poorly written film. At least put more thought into your production value than what scares 5 yr olds. The twists are ridiculous and the scenes meant to be terrifying are laughably bad especially the one in the park. At least Overall this was a pretty abysmal film but Eckhart deserves some praise.

brutal-ketamine I was very skeptical in seeing this movie, because in the last years all of the horror movies (except for few titles, and believe me, I devoured the horror genre since I started watching movies) were extremely disappointing, with a very generic scenario and lots of cliches, not to mention poor dialogues, lots of plot holes and so on. But today I decided to give this movie a chance, because the main idea of how the victims are "exorcised" got me intrigued. It was a pleasant surprise to not see the ordinary Bible, Holy water and prayers involved in an exorcism, but something that's rather scientific and psychological. The action is very intense, not because of jumpscares and loud soundtrack, but because of that intense psychological battle between Dr. Ember and the victims.At some point the scenario is even puzzling you as an audience, because you cannot tell which of the characters are in the real world and which ones are living the illusion within the possession. As I don't want to give much spoilers about the movie, I can tell you that it is worth your time. It is not the mother of horror movies, but it brings a new idea for the whole possession concept.

timtousley For a movie panned by almost all critics and the majority of fans, I only watched this because I was idling at the computer and wanted a distraction. Also I usually enjoy Aaron Eckhart in his craft. After about two scenes of worthy dialog in I became latched and realized why it had some buzz (script, cast).The story-line has worthy elements, and it competes well with other 'possession' films. I do not scare from horror, but enjoy digesting it for social understanding of what gets beneath the skin of common folk. I really enjoyed The Order and The Rite as well if that helps.The cast was great and I feel they exceeded the quality of its worthy script -- the best part of the final product.This movie will likely not be your favorite movie in any level of context... movies generally, dramatic horrors, films about possession. I still believe it's worth the view for anyone who is into any of those things or any of the primary cast as they all bring the value.My biggest complaint is the director and / or the editor... there were some early shots scenes and music scores that almost convinced me to turn it off and move on. Horror doesn't need help from 'camp'. Because I weathered those I got to bits that mattered and then the meat of the film proved interesting (atheist, raised Catholic, if you feel that detail matters).Special kudos to Eckhart's agent for finding yet another off- the-beaten-path script for him to bring his talent to. He will always be remembered for Harvey Dent of course, but for me films like "I Frankenstein", "Thank You for Smoking", and this one are roles I will ultimately most cherish him for.Understand this up front, this film is *not* for everyone. My ratings / appreciations are my own and I tried to express my appreciations in such a way that the folks who would appreciate it will know who they are up front.

LeonLouisRicci Ignored after Completion and sat on a Shelf for Three Years. Finally Released to Recoup Revenue, it Shows its Neglect by the way it is Unhandled.Devoid of Post-Production Tweaks that might have Improved the Viewing Experience, like Editing, Exposition, or Anything to give it a Chance to Compete with its Genre Cousins.The Film Looks Flat, at times Dull and Confusing, and at other times it Intrigues with Intellect only to be Shuffled Off to some other Scene in a Scenario that Veers in Different Directions in a Heartbeat.All of the Side-Plots and Set-Ups are Abandoned before they get started. The Vatican, the Scientific Blood Formula, and the Estranged Domestic Triangle is the Background but Hardly Imperative to the Proceedings. It's all a Muddle.Worth a Watch for Aaron Eckhart's Good Effort thru Intensity, but the rest of the Cast is Wasted for No Good Reason. They just don't have Anything to Do or Say that is Interesting. Blame the Script. It is Inherently Indecipherable and Incoherent most of the Time.Some Creepiness, but Not Enough, some Scares but Not Enough, somewhat Interesting Story, but Not Interesting Enough.The Movie Suffers from Neglect and Abandonment and is left to Incarnate or Not on its own... Un-Cared for, it's a Feral Film.
