Ah, victim of the hype.
My friends went to see this last year in the fall and said it was a very scary movie.
I love scary movies. Finally, I picked this up for $8 in the bargain bin at Blockbuster.
Trish, Eric, Vero and Mike assembled to have their socks blown off by this fright show.
Was it super scary? NAH! It had its moments but I was thinking a full out creepfest.
Was it a good movie? Sure it was! I enjoyed it. I wouldn’t say it’s a must-own but it was interesting to think that its based on a true story of exorcism. You don’t really see that around these parts that often.
I especially liked how the exorcism moved from the bedroom (ala The Exorcist) to the barn. I thought it was a wink and nod that they started out the bedroom scene for Exorcist fans.
I’ll give this 1 1/2 thumbs up for the sole fact that my friends hyped it too much. Much like how I hyped up MI:3 and Mike and Melissa didn’t think it was the greatest.
Oh, I almost forgot…I woke up this morning to Running with the Devil by Van Halen. Nice touch after watching this movie.

More creepy than scary. I think you forgot to mention the fact that Véro laughs when she is scared, which probably detracted from the overall effect. :o)
When I saw this in the movie theatre I was afraid to walk home afterwards.
I’m sorry I ruined it for you people cause of me laughing at the scarry parts…
By the way, I DID dream about it…ouff, so real!
ya, it was nothing like… say..
The Blair Witch

Ok, you might not beleive me here but last night I thought I got over it, but I woke up, looked at my alarm clock (an action I wasn’t courageous enough to do the first night) and it was….
…..EXACTLY 3:00 A.M.!!!!!
So freaky!
Oh come on Matt! I thought the Blair Wich was so crappy! It was nothing compared to this!….
Vero – Ya, I know, it was more of an inside joke.
Ask Palmer about Blair Witch 😉
Ha ha, I know Ryan was pretty scared after seing that movie, I was like “No way! An other one who thinks that movie was scary? I can’t beleive it!”
😉
yes and Trish was so scared that it cut the circulation off in my arm!
