Customer Reviews

I put a spell on you.

And now you’re mine. Antony Hopkins was possessed by playing the part. Colin O'Donoghue spends most of his time walking around looking confused. Alice Braga is too cute for the part and almost distracting from the spooky scenes. The story itself is just the old rehash of belief and disbelief. Of a coming-of-age story for many involved. Parts of the dialog are tongue-in-cheek as they refer to the original exorcist movie. Lots of spooky ambiance and not an overdone soundtrack. It is the acting and actors that give a good rating to this presentation. Remember, possession is nine-tenths of the law.
