It seems like there’s another horror movie aimed at teenagers, but it's unlikely to satisfy viewers seeking something substantial. The current trend of teen horror movies appears to be firmly established. I don’t find myself enjoying these kinds of films; for me, a horror movie either genuinely creates fear or doesn't earn the title "horror." However, if the filmmakers intended to attract young couples to theaters hoping for some awkward moments when someone gets startled, or just to see who jumps easiest in a group setting, they may have achieved their goal. Having spent time involved with the Catholic Church and knowing many priests, I struggle to understand the fascination surrounding exorcism. While it’s true that even devout Catholics are often unaware of this ritual due to its secrecy—designed to protect those undergoing it—informed Catholics recognize it as a unique procedure performed under specific conditions and with care. It's not presented as a spectacle like you see in movies. The real practice is effective, and the person performing the exorcism isn’t an eccentric figure; they are a priest who has received extensive training for their role. Cinema tends to turn religious rituals into exaggerated displays that bear little resemblance to reality but can still be entertaining for audiences. Mark Neveldine doesn't come across as a director deserving of serious consideration, having only produced questionable films so far. The movie does feature some talented actors—Djimon Hounsou, Dougray Scott, and Michael Peña—but their abilities aren’t utilized well. The script is weak, the characters are poorly developed, and the plot feels like just an excuse to include exorcism scenes. The inclusion of VCRs is also a tired horror trope that brings to mind several films that are honestly better than this one.
