I watched this movie last night, as it's been in my 'not watched yet' dvds. I agree with aborted, the inverted crucifixes were visually good, but apart from that and the last 5 minutes, I really didn't like this movie AT ALL.
I actually got up to go to the toilet and didn't put it on pause, which is something I never ever do.
The main bloke Ithough was doing his best Russell Crowe impression throughout and I was at a loss to figure out why the 2 kids and their dad had english accents? Maybe I missed something?
Once I realised this movie wasn't going to be directly related to the original exorcist, I decided to try and enjoy it as a movie in it's own right. But this is kinda hard to do when both posessed chicks look so similar.
For me, half the reason the original was scary was because it was a young girl; a middle-aged slut didn't quite do it for me...
Maybe I'm missing a huge big of the plot, but I thought this movie was forced and wouldn't have made the box office if it wasn't riding on the success of the original.
