Anthony Hopkins is really strong in this movie, the story is pretty good but not any big surprising elements, and a happy ending.
It was pretty good worth watching 2 times
I went to this movie a few weeks ago and I have to say I thought it was very well done, even for a PG-13 film. It was disturbing and the best "exorcism" movie since you know, the Exorcist.
I reviewed the movie here:

if anyone is interested in reading a review.
hopkins needs is stuck to his "lecter-face" for good.
man you were awesome. pelase retire or you will end reminding me derek zoolander and his "blue steel"
In 2009 & 2010 was the PATHETIC 3D trend, now we have another trend: POTENTIALLY GOOD or VERY GOOD HORROR MOVIES WHICH RECEIVE PG-13 RATINGS.

Let's face it, there hasn't been a good movie about exorcism for 35 years, and that one was rated R, coincidence? But hey it'll make money and that's all that matters. All the little high school fucks who went to see The Ring, The Grudge, Shutter, The eye, etc... they will have something to look forward to now. For the rest of us, a lot more waiting is all there is.
Unfortunately I have to disagree. I enjoyed Exorcismus quite a bit.
YAY another good movie ruined with a PG-13.
Can't wait for this one, looks like a genuinely good movie, as well as scary as hell... fingers crossed.
hmmm, hope it is "awsome".
omg an exorcism school with Mr. Lecter himself as Boss-Preacher???
Guess he'll eat the possessed girl at the end.
this is going to be awsome.
This is going to be awesome... just saying.
