5/10
Repent...?
1 June 2013
I had my doubts about this Movie, but I do not feel any repentance

watching it. Part one is mostly shot in POV which is, I Think, very limiting dramaturgically since you are forced to tell the story through the person holding the camera. Part two, however, is shot in conventional third person.

Plot: possessed girl from part one struggles to reintegrate into society, but pieces from her past make it difficult.

The problem with this sub-genre is that it is hard to reinvent and to make it look "fresh". Disregarding the title, the devilry, so to speak, is fairly subtle, at least more subtle than my countryman's (Mikael Håfström) the Rite which is over the top but otherwise well-made. There are some illogical moves as well, for example how the girl is approached by the supposed exorcists.

However, all in all it is a good low budget flick with descent acting and sfx.

I'll give it 5 out of 10 since it lacks real suspense and that the Movie fails to create sympathy for the lead role.
