Starts off slow with lots of dialogue in the first hour, but the last half hour or so more than makes up for it. I personally don't believe in demonic possession but I do watch these type of movies for entertainment value.
If you think about it, a demon is not going to easily release a person from possession after being read a few passages from the Bible. So I like the fact that this movie went where most won't...infliction of real pain on the possessed to loosen the demon's hold, in graphic detail. At times I wasn't entirely sure whether the priest was a sadist or a real exorcist. Watch and you'll find out !
If the first hour had been paced better, I would rated the film a 9. Still liked watching it though, for its originality and acting by the 3 main characters.
