One of the most real horror movies for me

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2015)

Presenting a story based on factual events, this movie did enough justice in dramatizing both the story and the horror aspects. What I really like about this horror, which is quite unusual for me since I don't really dig into horrors, is that the movie doesn't glorify the devil portrayed in it like other horrors do. The main proponent of that is that the demon doesn't win at the end. This movie falls into the exorcism sub genre of horrors, but it feels like none of the same, because it actually shows that the power of God is the thing that kicks out the demon from possession, not the Latin liturgies or the holy relics. Like this movie showed us, the demon or devil doesn't have to win on the end for the movie to have a sequel. The acting overall is decently good. Patrick Wilson seems to be finding a new home as a horror actor after mediocre roles in action and romances. Vera Farmiga played out her clairvoyant role well enough to give the ability enough realism.
