The Exorcists (2023)
6/10
Kid-friendly exorcism adventure.
7 October 2023
Guessing some youngsters will get a kick out of sharing this movie with their friends until someone's parents complain. A very little not sexy kissing, some tastefully presented violence and one instance of bad language when the senior (living) priest, in the fight of his life and under a lot of pressure refers to the demonic forces as a "crafty bugger". Not much budget, and not good enough so that discerning audiences will be at all times unmindful of this, but it gets better as it goes on. A couple of good locations (shot so that they appear like way more than they are), a bunch of actors, plot followed by more plot, some makeup and other effects and there you have it. After a while it becomes apparent that even semi-innocent bystanders are not safe from the supernatural terrors, and the violence escalates in the last half hour or so. How will this increasingly complex mystery of a plot resolve itself? Sometimes the adversary just kills everyone in these movies and things get resolved that way. The last ten or fifteen minutes are actually pretty dramatic and enjoyable. Won't tell.
