Title: The Most Unsettling Film of the Year!
Review: I really, honestly have no idea why this movie was bashed. From the very beginning I was curled up in my theater seat, knees to my head. I was petrified. Just when i thought it was safe to put my feet down, I put them back up in horror. Also, the film was downright disturbing. The scene with the butterflies on the wall and the supposed "exorcism" scene with the bent back fingers had me cringing and my cousin, who was sitting right next to me, screaming her head off. She's scared very easily, but my other cousin and I were both petrified and we find it extremely hard to be scared. Why the critics and audiences bashed this, I'll never know. I personally thought it was a lot more straight-forward scary than the original 'Exorcist' film. Definititely not as disturbing, but it delivers a lot more thrills that are needed now-a-days to scare the desensitized modern audience. It certainly worked, and I don't think critics realize that.
Is the review positive or negative?
