When the credits started rolling at the end of this film, half the audience screamed, "I want my money back!" So lets start there, the movie was only 80 minutes long, which isn't any huge surprise with Hollywood these days, but this movie could've used the extra time to develop the story. The plot was clear in the beginning, but still beyond ridiculous. A girl is trying to have her mother brought back to the US from a sanitarium in Rome. Mom was the subject of an exorcism and killed everyone that was attempting to exorcise her. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity and, for some reason, was sent to Rome. This is the beginning of the stupidity. The daughter is trying to visit mom, and bring her back to the US. Because why wouldn't she want to bring her deranged mother, who doesn't remember her, and is a murderer, back to the states. No reason as to why she's trying to pull that off. She meets with her mother and realizes she needs another exorcism, with no other information given, she just knows mommy needs to have another chance to murder a bunch of people. Are you following this? Its so stupid I almost got up and walked out. She finds a few rogue priests that like to perform their own exorcisms, without the consent of the church, to help her with her mother. Just writing this crap makes me want to throw up, which I did after paying $10 for this garbage. The exorcism is real awful, nothing scary whatsoever. Then, one by one, everyone that witnessed her exorcism becomes a new host for Satan. This could've been a great film, but the acting is atrocious, the plot was shaky at best, and the ending is simply a joke. Again, when everyone in the theater yells out they want their money back, your best bet is to go see something else. Awful, awful, awful.
