Diário de um Exorcista - Zero

This film popped up on Netflix and I've been starving for a decent exorcism film lately. I checked IMDb and it had a rating of 6.0/10 (209 votes) which isn't bad for an obscure foreign horror flick and it had yet-to-be reviewed by critics or users, so I was hoping to be the first to write a glowing review. Unfortunately this is yet another bog-standard entry in the demonic possession genre.

Considering that it's clearly a relatively low budget independent film, the production values aren't too shabby. Sadly the acting, the effects and the dialogue fluctuate between good and bad. I noticed a lot of grammatical errors in the subtitles. You expect that sort of thing when you're watching a dodgy pirate copy but obviously you expect more from an official Netflix release. The demons are like watered-down Deadites from The Evil Dead. They display all the usual demonic clichés such as body contortions, sticking their tongues out and asking priests to f*** them :p

There were a couple of twists but they were nothing we haven't seen before or couldn't smell coming from a mile away. I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Exorcism even though the ending was a bit crap and the sequel was a lot crap. The last decent exorcism flick I saw was The Devil Inside over 5 years ago. I'm aware that it has a low IMDb rating and the reviews are wildly mixed but I consider it to be a 9/10. The ending was lacklustre but it left me hoping for a sequel. You may wanna consider watching or re-watching The Devil Inside before giving Diary Of An Exorcist a go... unless you're Portuguese :D

Interesting story that succeeds at being quite horrific. The effects were well done considering the obvious low budget. Definitely a legit exorcism movie.

I enjoyed it with the subtitles turned on. It kept me interested even though it was somewhat predictable at the end.

A better than average Exorcist move...with subtitles.

Different possession film. It frightened me in certain places, but there are some things that I do not like. For an independent production, without money, they did a miracle. I enjoyed watching, I felt afraid, in some parts not, but it was good. Congratulations to the filmmakers. Go on, you have talent.

I really liked the movie. Surprising for a low budget movie. The effects were very good, have their problems, but this is good. I liked the performance of Father Lucas, an excellent actor.

Recommended for those who loves scary movies.

Congratulations !!!

This movie tells the story of an exorcist whose family is afflicted by demons.The main character is a Priest tormented by his father suicide caused by a possession. Although is a low budget film it has impressive effects and a lot of jump scares. Recommended for those who loves scary movies.
