Does the job!!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2013)

OK, so first off, I haven't seen the original! So I wasn't going in with preconceptions of what the film should be. I think that's where all these 1 star reviews come from, because there is always going to be a massive amount of added pressure to please the first generation of fans when remaking a 'classic'. No, this film isn't original, the back story all happens very quickly, but this is done to get you to the catharsis asap! this ain't no drama! What happens to the characters from then on is gripping and intense, you won't get a moments rest. It is hard to take the film completely seriously, because of the situations the characters find themselves in, but its all part of the fun, and what comes with dealing with gory demonic possession. Although there were plenty of moments where I was able to suspend my disbelief and experience the intensity of what the teenagers were experiencing. So know what to expect when going to see this, You wont find interesting plot, clever dialogue or Oscar nominations. But you will get an entertaining, fun, gory ride to hell and back!
