Title: Fascinating case, terrible movie
Review: In this Showtime TV-movie, based upon a supposed real case of exorcism, Timothy Dalton plays a priest who becomes drawn into a situation with a young boy supposedly possessed.The performances are stone serious or absurdly childish, there is no suspense to be found in the writing, effects or production design, and it left me disappointed that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't take the film seriously. It isn't delivered in a believable way, and becomes lost in mediocrity.I can't recommend the film, but I can somewhat recommend the book, which is at least a somewhat interesting, if not all too convincing read.
Is the review positive or negative?
