An Irish Exorcism (2013)

Best movie of this year hands down!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

So I went into watching this like most of the cheesy horror movies, thinking it wouldn't be very entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The lead actress did very well for an unknown, she was very convincing. The story itself wasn't all that original, however the documentary style of filming made it very believable and definitely gave it that creep factor. It's similar to the style of Blair Witch, in that the film didn't need a ton of special effects. It used the environment very well to solidify the creepiness. I will however say that I wasn't a a huge fan of the ending necessarily, a little anti-climactic for my taste, but overall a very good film.

Oh no I thought....not another found footage film. 10 seconds in and I'm hooked.Hollywood has tried on so many occasions to reboot horror classics, not always successfully. When big budget spectacle distracts from the actual story the realism can fade out. This is certainly not the case in An Irish Exorcism. Fantastic performances from Irish actors in a well executed production. A seemingly ordinary documentary suddenly descends into a tense and disturbing nightmare for all involved.A low budget production with no extravaganza of special effects still manages to thrill via some immersive camera work, clever editing and sounds that haunted me. This film is a dark occult journey, and will leave you exhausted at the end.If films like Blair Witch and the Omen appeal to you give this little gem a try. You wont be disappointed.

Just what the world needs. Another wobbly camera adventure, a mysterious house and one very distressed damsel. That was my first reaction when I heard the description however this flick came highly recommended so I pressed on with caution. I love when a movie surprises me and this one delivered. There are a lot of exorcism movies and the reason people keep makin em is simply because they are fascinating. The story here feels real and that in itself is pretty dam scary. The lead actors are very convincing which helps faten up the creepy factor. Ireland is the perfect location for this sort of religion born supernaturalness. I was engrossed in this movie until the end credits, when like all good Horrors it spat me back out to reality feeling bewildered and a little uncomfortable.... Job done! Fellow Horror Fans....Get Watching.

Oh dear--another bad "exorcism" movie. Caught this one on On- Demand. I was not paying attention or I would have never bothered. This is yet ANOTHER "found footage" POS that bores you to death to start with and has you rolling with laughter at the end. Scares? Puh-leeze. If you thought this was scary, you probably also thought "Paranormal Activity" was a fright-fest.A blow-by-blow snooze-fest which has a whole lot of talking and very little action. Even the "priests" in this movie didn't want to be on camera and can you blame them? There is no question as to where this movie is going, what's going to happen before it gets there, and how it will end. I'm not going to bother you with details, but let me say this. There will only be ONE exorcism movie, and that's the original "Exorcist." You have to do more to scare me than have a girl shuffle around a floor with her hair covering her face (probably a good move on her part), have someone fake-growl, and the "crew" running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Good grief; I've been more scared at a local "haunted house." Not rated, not worth wasting your time, and not recommended.
