Production is done well, acting is good. This takes a more realistic perspective in the idea of demon possession and exorcism as it uses the Eastern European background and culture to spin doubt well. That being said, the story is somewhat standard and thus bordering on perfunctory in terms of the tropes that are consistent within all possession films. Otherwise a decent watch.

Effective film with a more realistic take.
Her faith made her give up hope
Nicole Rawlins (Sophie Cookson) who has issues with her own mother's death works as a reporter. She travels from NY to Romania to cover a story about a priest accused of murder while performing an exorcism on a nun. She visits everyone involved in the case who have no trouble talking to her. She does some of her own investigative work as she begins to doubt her skepticism.
This is another skeptic comes to Jesus film with a possession and exorcism. Nothing great, low action.
Guide: No swearing. Brief sex and nudity.
Another possession ... or is it?
It is a horror movie, but it does have a non-believer in the lead. Obviously it tries to keep this as real as possible and if I'm not mistaken this was based on a real story. I can't and don't want to keep up with this stuff. It shouldn't matter unless you care about that label (most do in a negative light).
But there have been worse horror movies and while it does serve the clichés (with jump and false scares aplenty),it does have decent story to tell. The motivation of our main female character is somewhat comprehensible and makes sense most of the time. Not every (bad) decision she makes, just her drive behind why she wants that story. Acting is OK, and overall it is watchable.
