Project Terrible - EXORCISM: THE POSSESSION OF GAIL BOWERS

Whoops, another terrible film from Michele which actually isn't that terrible. I'm deeply sorry for giving her the abysmal "Don't Go Near The Park"...

EXORCISM: THE POSSESSION OF GAIL BOWERS

German Title:
Exorcism - Die Besessenheit der Gail Bowers

USA, 2006
Director: Leigh Scott

4/10





Quite a surprise: this low-budget rip-off of "The Exorcist" and "The Exorcism Of Emily Rose" is far better than I expected. It's not a good horror movie but it sure is one of the better Asylum-flicks I've seen so far.

 
I enjoyed...
...that the whole movie is pretty atmospheric, especially in the first half.
...that the movie is consistently entertaining without getting boring.
...the 3-4 unexpected scares that really made me jump.
...the supercool blind sunglasses-exorcist, the neat-looking make-up effects, all the nudity and all the hilarious possessed-Gail-talks-dirty dialogue
("Come on Clark, lemme suck your cock." / "He said that you won't let him fuck in the ass... that you tried once and it hurt." / "Fuck me, Clark! Fuck my tight pussy!" / "Clark has a hard cock. Last night I could feel his hard cock on me." etc. etc.)
.

I disenjoyed...
...the acting which ranges from mediocre to horrendously bad.
...all the scenes where they shamelessly ripped off "Poltergeist" (face peeling, girl watches static on TV), "Stigmata" (girl has stigmata) and of course "The Exorcist" (girl levitates to the ceiling, spider walk).
...how incredibly cheap the whole movie looks and sounds (poor photography, poor sound quality, unimaginative camera work, lame soundtrack).
...the so-so direction and the incredibly predictable script.


Overall, a fairly ok exorcism movie. I've seen worse.

  2. You suck.

    You might even suck more after I watch the movie you gave me. We'll see.

  3. @Craig:
    Check it out. It's definitely better than Transmorphers or the Mega Shark flicks :)

    @Michele:
    I guess you will hate me like poison me after DGNTP :)
