Exorcism: The Possession of Gail Bowers (2006)

When the picture falls off the nightstand in Gail's room on the first night, you can clearly see a stagehand's arm in the lower right corner of the screen.When the covers are pulled of Gail, her shirt goes from a pale pink to a white floral short-sleeved Henley with no explanation.There is no way that the house is "100 years old." The floor plan, building materials and the fact that the house has a garage are all indicative of the 60s or 70s.Why would the demon/devil manifest in the television? Especially when Gail is asleep and oblivious to its presence?If the writers had studied possession lore, they would know that only very devout, practicing Christians (usually Catholics) become possessed. In truth, possession is not real, does not happen, and can simply be attributed to cases of dementia and/or mental illness (particularly schizophrenia and religious delusions).Stigmata on a possessed person? Are you kidding me?!So, I guess all women sleep in white pajamas with blue flowers? Both Gail and her sister do.Boobs, three sets of them. A decent, yet interrupted, sex scene.Motrin IB product placement.How exactly did Gail lie down and wrap herself up in her coverlet in half a second then levitate? Word to the wise: ALWAYS leave an impaled object in until you reach the emergency room or receive other qualified medical attention. The object may be the only thing preventing you from bleeding to death.There are some scary moments, but they are mostly cheap, predictable scares using quick flashes of action and/or creepy/loud noises.The blind priest needs to have a few more lessons on how to act more convincingly blind. The way he felt his way around the bed was very "sighted" in its execution.The wall-walking scene was pretty neat, I have to admit. I loved the priest-on-priest murder scene, too. That was unexpected. It kept getting better and better toward the end with chaos, murder, and mayhem and I was loving it! Then, it ended. Roll credits. Lame.

This title doesn't bother to come up with its own ideas, it just steals them all from one of the best horror movies of all time and adds a bit more sex. Most movies take ideas from other films, but not 3/4 of a superior film to which they will be compared unfavourably.Acting and special effects are as to be expected of a low budget production, but while those can be forgiven, the lack of any originality can't. I'm sorry there was one original idea but it was so laughable it barely counts. A blind exorcist in sunglasses that make him look more like a biker than a priest. "Yeah I'm a bad ass priest, not like those other little pussy priests who couldn't drive a demon out of a wet paper bag."

I have probably seen every horror movie from excellent FX and totally stupid to low budget and actually good. Well, this is one of those low budget but and actually good. I have read many comments and a lot of complaints about the acting. No one is going to win an academy award, but the actors did a good job considering that the sound was probably not the best in the world and they were having to speak louder, which makes the acting not as good as it should be. I think if this movie had a descent budget it could have been actually really good. It was good considering the obstacles the actors had to go through and it was a good attempt to try to try a new idea.All in all, I would definitely recommend this movie. The nudity was not as bad as in many soap operas I have seen and the talk was not near as bad as the Exorcist or any stupid male bonding movie. I have heard worse.

Within two minutes you can see this is going to be bad. It's appallingly acted. I have seen better performances at a school nativity play. The music and photography immediately shouts soft porn film. There is absolutely no need for the three pairs of breasts to be shown in the film or for Gail to spend most of her time in her underwear. You didn't need to be possessed to know that some show of breasts was coming later on. The make up was incredibly bad. There was a large pink drip clinging to Gail's cheek whilst she wrestled with the her yellow contact lenses, had she been possessed by a demonic blancmange? I need to plead to the people who appeared in this film. GET ANOTHER JOB. You will never be going to the Oscars......unless you can drive a limo or know something about stage lighting. I am sorry to be so mean but I am being cruel to be funny. At least stick to doing commercials ONLY.........that require no speech (a commercial containing a finger pointing at a product would be ideal).It's bad horror, it's poor porno, it's laughably bad. If you like good looking women showing their breasts then this film is still not for you.
