Decent film and worth a look, especially if you read something about the true story. I think a lot of comments condemning the film are overly critical, it is what it is, a lower budget film but not without some good qualities. Not every film is going to win awards and be another 'Citizen Kane'. This was a decent effort and I get tired of reading scathing reviews from arm chair wanta be directors who think they're the next Alfred Hitchcock...

Not all of the following is in the film but most of it is, these are some excerpts from this terrifying true story, some of the more intense paranormal phenomena that occurred during this 23 day long exorcism were: Anna exhibited inhuman strength, required sometimes up to six "athletic" nuns to hold her down. Anna levitated, completely off the ground, on more than one occasion. Anna leapt from her bed in the 'lying down'position, ONTO the wall above the door, where she held on, and maintained her position of crouching, apparently defying gravity, while holding on to the side of a wall. While Anna was unconscious, voices would talk, blaspheme, and verbally assault everyone present, but not through Anna's mouth, they came from her throat, but her lips never moved. She vomited, spit, drooled, urinated and defecated inhuman amounts/quantities of solids and fluids. It was reported that Anna was urinating buckets worth of liquid, and this is at a time where she was not eating hardly anything at all daily.

Approaching an old priest friend of his, a man convinces him that his wife has become possessed once again and needs another exorcism, forcing the priest to turn to a doubting colleague to follow him to the asylum where she's being held and exorcise her before its too late.

This was an underwhelming if still somewhat watchable genre effort. Among the most obvious flaws featured here are the utmost cliche setups that come about in just about every genre feature. The doubting priest who questions his faith and finally comes back to see the light is so common it's an insult, and the confines of the exorcism itself falling into the usual traps of speaking in tongues, the temptation with personal knowledge, and unearthly body contortions are all brought into play. Since everything in the genre utilizes these tactics, to see these at play again is either par for the course or lack of originality for some to sort out for themselves. As well, there's such a dreary and bleak pace on display that can cause this to slow to a crawl at points. This is mainly caused by the first half here going through the usual motions of finding the cause for her to be possessed as worthy of being exorcised so all the fact-gathering aspects have to be featured. From the torment of the staff at the hospital to the backstory about the couples' married life before the possession which includes endless visits with friends and family together, this information while also featuring the cliche doubting priest to further the slow down of the plot. Overall, these are what hold the film down for the most part. The film does have some positive features. Like most genre features, this one gets a lot to like with the painfully obvious storylines and actions here which signal her possessed state. The deformed appearance, with the body full of cuts and scratches, forked tongue, and glassy eyes give enough of a psychical clue but the other scenes here are quite fun. Taunting and tormenting the other nuns, throwing them around the room and all the usual antics commonplace for these films to denote the person's become possessed are all featured here to the point of becoming quite clear of who she is and what's to be done with her. Likewise, the final half here featuring the fun of the exorcism taking place has a lot to like. With the usual standbys including shouting profanity, splashing holy water on everything, and using crosses while quoting the expected Biblical passages, it's no less fun despite these expected qualities which carries over nicely into the final twist. Turning the possession around into a Biblical curse coming to pass and featuring several encounters not usually seen in these kinds of films, this apocalyptic finish has quite a lot to like which does lift this one up somewhat over other exorcism efforts.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Contains plot spoilers, although for some strange reason exorcism movies all have the same plot.

In the opening we are explained Passover, as read, and are then subjected to seven minutes of credits with church organ music as Anna (Tiffany Ceri) makes slow motion snarly faces at the camera. Knowing this is the scene the director wanted, I dared to watch on as we discover Anna was once possessed at 14 (what kid isn't) and this is a repossession (minus Linda Blair),with a demon seven times that of a normal immortal demon.

Anna of course is Catholic, the favorite of Mr. "S" himself and is going to be exorcised by Father Richard (Lee Bane) an atheist priest with his own "demons" sort of speak. During this time we get the Cliffs Note version of the theology of both "The Exorcist I and II." Every time Anna moves her neck from side to side we hear bones crack as if moving your head from left to right is somehow unnatural. Perhaps the worst aspect of the film was the soundtrack at the end during the various closing possession scenes as we hear what sounds like a muffled lawn mower getting louder and softer. Granted Ave Satani has been overdone, but it always works.

Tiffany Ceri has not mastered the sinister possessed laugh. It was funny to watch her do it. Her friend Laura (Melissa Bayern) was given terrible lines that neither she nor the director knew what to do with them.

Anna does the whole potty mouth scene but stops short at sex or nudity. Heck, not even a decent up skirt.
