Directed by William Brent Bell. Written by Bell and Matthew Peterman. Starring Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quaterman, Evan Helmuth, and Suzan Crowley.
Plot: 20 years after her mother supposedly murdered three people, a woman becomes embroiled in exorcisms to find out why.
In 1989, Maria Rossi (Crowley) kills three people – all from her church. After, they ship her to Italy because the murders apparently happened during an exorcism. Now, 20 years later, her daughter, Isabella (Andrade) wants answers, so she goes to Rome to find them. There, she meets two young priests, Ben (Quaterman) and David (Helmuth), who suggest that she see a real exorcism to understand more effectively. They perform exorcisms illegally because the church is hypocritical.
Isabella is really whiny in the beginning and it’s a bit annoying. But the acting was quite good. The movie was as realistic as a movie about exorcisms is going to get. And the effects were really good. I recommend a watch, but DJ’s not sure. The end really shit the bed for him and he doesn’t want to put anyone else through that.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
