Synopsis

In a highly secured vault deep within the walls of Vatican City, the Catholic Church holds thousands of old films and video footage documenting exorcisms/supposed exorcisms and other unexplained religious phenomena they feel the world is not ready to see. This is the first tape - Case 83-G - stolen from these archives and exposed to the public by an anonymous source.

Michael Ledo The film opens as if it going to be a documentary on the various exorcism tapes collected by the Vatican, but in the first few minutes Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) knows this is going to be an anti-Christ/exorcism film from watching Angela (Olivia Taylor Dudley) move her lips, perhaps giving away too much too soon. And we know how these things end. The anti-Christ either dies or it don't.Yes, we can all say "been there done that" and was done better. I particular liked how they did the first hour of the film and Olivia Taylor Dudley did a convincing job.Guide: No F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Some sex talk.
Mymsy I was looking forward to watching this film, it seemed like it had so much potential, but I was very disappointed. I found the characters jarred against one another and the most believable was probably the raven. I feel that the bulk of what the film was really about all slumped to the latter end of the film, which made it seem rushed and inconsistent. What a shame.
kosmasp It's not really about exorcism, though it is about possession. And I have to admit, that I am surprised by the low rating here on IMDb. It's very well crafted, has an array of good actors in it and the script is solid. While I would agree that it doesn't reach the heights of some of the best horror movies out there, this is certainly a very good movie.The acting is strong, the story holds up and the ending works too. Yes some characters react strange to our main character, but overall it's not the worst behavior in horror movies (or in the clichés we are used to). I like the mentality of the movie and the director seems to know his stuff. As does the cinematographer (both plus leading actress are on an interesting audio commentary on the disc) too. I was pleasantly surprised by this and maybe you will be too
Avi Bluestein Seriously now - I can't believe someone at Lionsgate actually approved this horrible production.This is one of those movies that you watch and then suddenly the end credits appear and you ask yourself "what the f...". I mean, had it at least been scary. Or surprising. Or anything... No plot, just a sequence of exorcism or possession scenes that are very short, un- scary and not even surprising or mysterious. No hidden message, no good guys or bad guys, just a boring possession. No point at the end, no development during the movie... just people doing things while being shot by a camera and then it ends - with simply nothing really happening or any hint of anything.Quite boring, pointless and the acting is far from convincing.The horror is the fact this film was ever released. It truly scares me that there's someone who actually approved this!
