I remember watching the haunting of Molly Hartley years ago, which was alright and me being me I had to give this movie a shot. It was pretty good up until like the last minute which was a typical ending for this type of movie. Now it had its moments of originality but a lot of scenes made me think The Exorcist, green vomit stains around the mouth, the discoloration of her face, letters forming on the skin then it disappears,the breaking of the restraints and rising above a bed. This movie was not bad but not good either. To me this movie wasn't that scary and kind of predictable, but it still had some interesting scenes. I thought it was kind of slow but had its moments for me to keep watching until the end. I gave this movie a 5 out of 10 rating because like I said it wasn't absolutely horrible but not a terrifying exorcism movie

I give it a 6 but until the last 15 minutes I would have given it a 7. Too bad that the end and more specifically how the main character suddenly appear to save the day.It is a flaw not only happening in this movies but in most movies. Only in movies do the bad guys think it is wise to bring their mortal enemy to the big boss at the crucial moment...unrestrained. And in this case the doctor suddenly appears in the middle of a room to stick a bar through the evil head priest in a room (one door only) filled with people and nobody notices it...A pity because just before that bad written ending started I kinda though that this movie will not end well for the heroes and the world. But of course for some reason a bad ending is not allowed in a movie...But overall the movie is good to watch and not boring...

A possession film better than expected and sustains interest. Molly Hartley(Sarah Lind)was possessed by a demon on the 18th birthday. In spite of her personal suffering, Molly was able to lead basically a successful life. Graduating from college early and making partner in a company at a young age close to her 24th birthday. Six years, six months and six days after her original haunting/possession, the pretty young woman suffers a total mental breakdown and placed in a mental hospital.Dr. Hawthorne(Gina Holden)witnesses proof of Molly's demonic possession and asks another patient, John Barrow(Devon Sawa), who is institutionalized following being defrocked of his priesthood for participating in a botched exorcism. Barrow in his personal search for redemption, decides to rid Miss Hartley of the evil spirit that has taken control over her.It seems that 20th Century Fox spent the majority of the budget on special effects, which by the way are graphic and at times pretty damn scary. Disturbing scenes with religious themed obscenities. Fallen priest versus the devil. Worth watching, but the finale goes flat with a confusing ending scene.

I created an account just to express my dissatisfaction with this sad excuse for cinema. First, the acting is horrendous and in the best attempts it feels forced like watching a bad play at my kids school. Second, this movie has more plot holes than every story assigned to and written by middle-school students worldwide. Third, it's just lazy. {SPOILERS} The writers made a LOT of assumptions and did no research: 1.) How does a priest find himself in prison after a failed exorcism? Yes someone died, but from an outside perspective there is absolutely nothing he could be charged with that a prosecutor would attempt to bring to trial. 2.) Molly was left unbound after being convicted *(assumed never actually confirmed)as a murderer who is a danger to herself and others. Any actual psychiatric facility would have had the crazy in a straight jacket and padded room immediately. 3.) Why is the only padded room outside of the woman's ward and through the opposite end of the men's ward? 4.) This line "Does my file tell you that my parents were also into the occult?" 5.) And then this line "I'm not insane, Dr. Hawthorne. I'm possessed." 6.) As for the ending well it seems that Matt Venne just got sick of putting this drivel on paper and rushed out the details for a convoluted, nonsensical, plot hole finally. {END SPOILERS}In a sentence, this lazy sequel borrowed(without research) more than it offered.
