SPOILER ALERT!!!
The mythology and science of exorcism was well researched in the making of this film. From the opening scene depicting a common African tribal exorcism practice (which is often and easily faked) straight to the basic "faith vs fact" argument, then to an authentic paranormal research procedure, a LOT of information was given and was portrayed very well.
I say this as a life long student of world religions. As a connoisseur of gory, crazy B flicks...PEOPLE...ITS a B FLICK!!!
That said, two points were deducted first for the horrendous, repetitive, too loud...can we even call it music??? Even for what it is, that was just TERRIBLE and a constant distraction from...
The second point. As generally well acted as it is (for a B flick) there are too many holes in the plotline, too many extended dialogues and too much time between any actual action that, in my opinion, even crossed too many lines for even a B...
So C+, whether you watch it for the crash course in exorcism or the just the typical gore fest fun, its a decent waste of 90 minutes.
