Don't waste your time. This movie is simply just a recycling of exorcism clichés with annoying camera work, bad acting and a poorly developed story line. The set up premise that her uncle showed her intricate diagrams in the hope that she would memorize them, get ticked off over something and invoke Satan on her bathroom floor all so he could prove Satan exists is absurd. Teenagers may be stupid but how many really would cut themselves open and call for Satan to possess them just because mommy grounds them and their life sucks. And then the fact that the audience needs this explained by her in a ten minute monologue outside her mentally slipping mothers bedroom door was lazy spoon feeding. There's better ways to make the audience understand what happened. Piece it together over the course of the film. Have flash backs that extend beyond the bathroom scene. Something... And the whole possession moments were horrible. Sophie Vavasseur might be able to pull off annoying angsty bratty British teen with a serious attitude and a death wish maybe but she is laughably bad trying to play the devil. Half the time the voice didn't even correspond to her mouth movements!The scenes between her and her brother seemed forced and stilted. The scene when he dies was especially terrible. Bad acting and way overdone build up to something you see coming all along. So bad in fact that I actually thought hmm maybe there will be some twist where he doesn't die because they are milking the anticipation of his death SO much that they cant possibly just kill him. But nope... He dies... Exactly as you would predict he would... In fact a lot in the movie seemed forced just to create particular situations (see explanation scene mentioned above). I blame this on the writing. Very little flowed naturally or organically. Tension building was minimal which is not what you want from an exorcism movie. And I had a real issue with them letting a possessed teenage girl run around all the time and not have her locked up somewhere after the first time she acts like the devil and tries to kill people. Why do you think they kept Linda Blair locked up in her bedroom! And she was only 12! An angsty 15 year old with a bad attitude to begin with ALSO possessed by the devil?! Chain her in the basement! But no we'll let her wonder around, go in and out freely, interact with the public and her little brother who shes already tried to kill once, eat breakfast with the family thats left, etc. It made no sense. Oh and if you are going to have an intense scene where you cause a terrible car accident because you hallucinate leaving your friend/cousin(??) appearing very much dead leading to an overly dramatic NO NO NO! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME! crying moment in the middle of the road, don't have the very next scene be oh wait he's going to be OK. No harm done! Yuck...

Exorcismus is set in London in England where teenager Emma Evans (Sophie Vavasseur) lives with her mom Lucy (Jo-Anne Stockham) & dad John (Richard Felix) & younger brother Mark (Lazaro E. Ortli Ortiz), she should have a good life but Emma is unhappy. Emma feels that her parents are restricting her, not letting her go out, not letting her go to a proper school & making her look after her little brother (I can sympathise with Emma here though, Mark is an annoying kid) so Emma rebells & takes drugs, cuts herself & generally tries to be as awkward as possible. After the usual argument Emma collapses & has a fit on the living room floor (lucky they never had guests around) & is taken to hospital but is given the all clear, Emma then has anther fit & pukes up blood & starts to look very ill. Medical science has no answers so John calls in his brother, a priest named Christopher (Stephen Billington) who is convinced that Emma is possessed by the devil & only an exorcism will save her...This Spanish production was directed by Manuel Carballo & if you haven't already guess Exorcismus is a complete rip-off of the all time classic The Exorcist (1973), & a pretty bad rip-off as well. Just look at the similarities, the title Exorcismus is also the same as The Exorcist (not quiet enough for Warner Bros. to sue though), the central story of a young girl being possessed by the devil, the way that the Church steps in to perform an exorcism & the effect that it has on the girls immediate family. Sure, there are differences & the script throws in a lame twist at the end which has virtually no impact at all, the twist reveal is pedestrian & is not the dramatic height of the films as it should have been but rather a damp squib that left no impression on me at all. The script is slow going, at almost 100 minutes long Exorcismus drags & very little of note actually happens. It takes ages for anything to happen & the big problem is none of it is surprising, nothing in Exorcismus is particularly original or new. The events of Emmas possession are also really tame, she speaks in a deep voice, she has a fit, she pukes up some blood & that's about it, in fact it's surprising how readily her parents accept that she must be possessed by the devil despite the lack of any convincing evidence. Where's the foul mouth obscenities? Wheres the green vomit? Why doesn't her head spin round 360 degrees? Exorcismus feels like some sort of soap opera where some rebellious teenage girls acts weird for forty odd minutes, there are pointless flashbacks as well to nothing of any great significance.Filmed under the title The Possession of Emma Evans the makers go out of their way to play down the exploitation & horror, in fact the whole film is far too subtle & forgettable as it deliberately goes for a low key realistic ordinary suburban setting & feel. There's no blood or gore that I could remember, there are a few scenes where Emma hallucinates seeing hordes of Cockroaches emerging from various places including her boyfriends mouth in just about the only straight horror sequence in the entire film. A few people are stabbed, there's a bit of blood but nothing else worth mentioning. The makers of Exorcismus seem to refuse to build up any scares, any tension or generate any creepiness & as a result the whole film is very bland & dull. This whole low key realistic approach just doesn't do the subject matter or story any favours & in fact makes it difficult & boring to sit through.With a supposed budget of about $1,800,000 this was made in English by a Spanish crew, despite Doug Bradley getting a credit on the titles he's only in it for about two minutes. The rest of cast are average, I can't say I was particularly moved or impressed by any of the performances.Exorcismus is a total rip-off of The Exocist but manages to fail to even equal it let alone better it, it's a drab & dull film that offers nothing new or memorable. Not recommended.

I only watched this film because it starred 'Sophie Vavasseur'; and I loved her in 'Evelyn', although that was quite a few years ago...Normally I can't stand exorcism movies. They all use pretty much the same story line, scares, dialogue and the same crappy makeup in order to portray the demonic possession. However, 'exorcismus' didn't. Without makeup and effects, the demonic possession is convincingly acted by the character 'Emma'; it is simply fantastic. Her acting, especially with her eyes is all you need to be convinced of her body invasion. I loved it. Sophie Vavasseur is such a talented actress.. even her British accent was flawless, considering she's Irish! Perfection. She's indeed very creepy at times.Obviously, you can't have an exorcism film without a priest, the demon saying obscene things and a few deaths but I feel this film handed these things in such a way that it made it differ from the rest. I liked the twist.. that was good... I also really believed the family dynamic. This film was believable because their lives were so normal and mundane and they were still trying to act that way even though this 'demon' had possessed their daughter. I just found it incredibly believable unlike how it's portrayed in 'the exorcist.'Overall, I really liked this movie. I liked the cast, the script, the twist, the fact it was a British Production; everything about it. I already recommended it to a friend and she thought the same as me.. the acting on Sophie's part was brilliant.Watch it!

I am giving this film 10/10 because I was highly entertained. The background music score is OUTSTANDING! The acting, cinematography, SFX are professionally done.The plot of the film is based on demonic possession. However this film differs from most exorcism films in the fact that in this film, the person himself performs a satanic rite that allows her body to be possessed.Plot: Emma Hawkins finds herself doing uncontrollable acts. She often faints and goes into seizures. Her parents are concerned and she is taken to see some specialists. However they find nothing wrong with her. Later on she has a seizure in front of her family in which she levitates.So Emma calls in the help of her uncle who is a priest to drive out the evil spirits. Watch this film to see what happens next!Verdict: this film is in a class of its own. If you enjoyed the Exorcist series of films, than this one is for you. If you decide to buy it, it will make a worthy addition to your DVD collection.P.S. Doug Bradley(role of Pinhead in Hellraiser series of horror films) makes a cameo at the end of the film!
