Warning: Spoilers
Are you a fan of exorcism films? If the answer is yes then more than likely your interest in seeing this is strong. I don't want to give away anything for obvious reasons so I'm just gonna sum up.

The plot to this movie is undeniably original, so much so that it will keep you glued to the screen waiting eagerly to see what will happen next. The story involves a showboating preacher that has performed many "phony" exorcisms until a recent tragedy forces him to call it quits even though he really feels that he helps people like a holy, over the top psychiatrist.

He decides to perform one last show and invites a documentary filmmaking team to record it. This isn't a spoiler, this is the plot that the viewer is already aware of. The girl that he chooses to be his last is where the actual plot revolves. It's easy to see just how exciting this screenplay can be.

The actor playing the priest is great, very convincing, and the same can be said for the girl in question. They did a superb job with both characters. The suspense is very good. The film is finely constructed.

This is hard to put into words. This review I'm giving honestly is a good one not a bad one. I really, REALLY was waiting for all hell to break loose. It should have. I wanted more. This was way to well put together. Something was missing. I definitely recommend it, but something was missing. My final impact was like I only watched half of a movie, a damn good first half. There is a twist at the end that should have been left out and available as a special features alternate ending. It was unnecessary.

They should have concentrated solely on the girl.

This is a positive review with a rating of 5. Hopefully the sequel will bring everything to a sharper focus.
