CRITICAL

Rarely premieres on board criticism, but I think this film deserves.

First, I have to tell the whole story and history of this film seemed like an absolute lack of control and a mix of information and nonsense about exorcisms typical American terror. I did not like anything the performance of Hopkins, as I expected much more of a man in which there are cinematic works such as The Silence of the Lambs, which is immense. But since the sequels and prequels Hanibal has accustomed us to an interpretation flojucha for him and sometimes boring and repetitive.

Have not worn a hard locations and scenarios, as the film takes place almost four rooms and the few "breaks" open chamber and plans are overshadowed by the dismal performance of lead actor, Colin O'Donoghue.

But not everything is bad, the truth is that the subject of demonic possession treat him as a credible and in fact according to reports from the Church, without explosions ( The Exorcist: The Beginning ), without politicking ( Stigmata ) but, Of course, nowhere near the masterpiece and acme of terror, The Exorcist, William Friedkin Mr.

In short, I think the best chance to play this production was the appearance of Mr. Hopkins, and have given a good account of it on posters and trailers (just leave nothing but your face all over the merchandise).

I highly recommend that if what you seek in such classic horror films and theme is diabolical immediately recurráis classics like The Exorcist or Possession, Timothy Dalton, and shall not stop and inn in this snafu that got bored to tears in spite address one of my favorites in the horror genre.
