Fifteen year-old Emma Evans has an argument with her mother Lucy since she wants to go to a concert in London with her friends Rose and Alex. Emma immediately has a convulsion and her family takes her to the hospital, but the doctors do not find any physical problem. Then her father John tries to convince his wife to send Emma to school, instead of homeschooling, but she prefers to keep Emma in the family-based education. Lucy sends her daughter to the psychoanalyst believing that she has psychological problems and Emma asks her friend Rose to record her session of hypnosis though the cellular but the doctor dies during the session. When Emma listens to the tape, she believes she is possessed by the devil and asks her parents to be submitted to an exorcism with her uncle, Priest Christopher Taylor. However her skeptical mother is against the ritual and recalls that Chris was responsible for the death of a teenager, Ana, in the past in an unsuccessful exorcism. But when Emma levitates in the kitchen in front of her family, her parents call Chris.

| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersWhile it had its moments, and while the performances, especially from Vavasseur, were borderline exceptional, the movie itself is just far too routine and familiar to achieve the thrills and chills it is going for. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergNot even a few third act plot contortions can salvage the flick from its fairly shameless intent to color within the established lines. |
| Horror.comStaci Layne Wilson...once the actual exorcism commences you should find yourself reasonably invested in Emma's dilemma and will actually care how it ends. |
| User ReviewLuciana GMuy buena!, si les gusto el rito esta les va a encantar! altamente recomendable! |
| User ReviewAndrew Aexcellent plot twists and hidden events, you don't expect the outcome to happen, and you get to see everything around her fall to pieces because of this. absolutely brilliant |
| User Reviewcindy bin my opinion ... the exorcism off Emma Evans ... is the best horror movie i have ever seen ... i'm passionate about exorcisms saga ... i found this film both an exciting and well suspended ... |
| User ReviewJessi CIt was similar to other exorcism movies but I thought it was pretty interesting and well done. Not as creepy as I would have liked, but decent. |
| User ReviewLauri AThis film in my opinion shocks. It looks like a shitty film but like a book with a bad cover it proves you wrong. There's alot of things that makes you think "oh shit! did that just happen?!" all in all its a great film, especially for IFC standards |
| User ReviewStevie JEven tho the title sounds like some bizarre holiday... hey everyone, put up the Linda Blair dolls, it's Exorcismus, it's not. It's actually solid flick, that gives a cool take on the Exorcism genre. Solidly acted, and mostly competently directed, I was quite pleased with my 1hr40min. Check'r if you can find'r. |
| User ReviewMartyn MWhen it comes to horror movies The Exorcist ranks as one of the best in most film buffs lists. This is The Excorcist updated to the 21st centuary. Where it mirrors The Exorcist is in the idea of the child being possessed and the exorcising priest existing on the edge of social respectability in a world that has turned profoundly secular. So when our heroine Emma becomes possessed by Satan himself, and she is judged by her elders to be suffering from psychosis of a scientific kind, she is met by inverterate disbelief by her parents. Our girl is not a sweet child as was the case in the original Exorcist, she is a strong-minded, independant, death metal goth. She is also sexually active, despite being only 15 (although this is only implied at during the film). With her dark ideas comes a risk when she dabbles in the dark magic arts, setting a course for a terrifying ordeal for herself and her family. And in places this, being a horror film, is extremely graphic. But it is not a hack and slash gore-fest. It is a vey well written and well acted story that, when it diverges in plot away from it's more illustrious predecessor, is certainly it's equal. In many places it excels, despite a constraint on budget feel to it. Sophie Vavasseur certainly gives a commendable performance of the emotionally dysfunctional Emma. I like it. |
