2. Summary

   Good 3.0

   Intense docu-thriller about an evangelical minister who performs theatrical exorcisms – believing they do good even though they aren’t real – simply because of the psychological benefits. Well, in this film he gets in over his head as he and pair of film-makers are overwhelmed by creepy behavior that gets over their heads. Creepy “Blair Witch Style” filming, nonstop suspense and unexpected twists make this movie a sure horror-crowd pleaser.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Patrick Fabian as the reverend Cotton does a great job. Reminded me a bit of Woody Harrelson, but with a more down to earth appeal. Ashley Bell is awesome as the possessed Nell. Linda Blair would be proud!

5. Male Stars Very Good 3.5

6. Female Stars Very Good 3.5

7. Female Costars Very Good 3.5

8. Male Costars Very Good 3.5

10. Film

    Good 3.0

    The film deviates a bit from the exorcism formula by shooting in the herky-jerky documentary style, and twisting the ending in a way you might not expect. Good job.
