Ranks with the best of the bunch, given its spooky storyline that fuses religion with down-to-earth characters.

Possibly the funniest movie ever made about Catholicism. It confuses the phenomenon of stigmata with satanic possession.

This serious if assaultively stylish meditation on faith uses traditional elements of religion-based horror in a way that's more innocent than calculating.

Busy, over-stylized mess of a movie.

Can anyone but a lapsed Catholic possibly be interested in this unpleasant, anti-Papist creepshow?

It's a very competently made movie. The story, although cliché and predicable, was interesting enough, the acting was more than decent and the cinematography was very good. Unfortunately, none of these things could save the movie from being extremely boring. The weird romance between the main priest and the possessed woman was also very weird and unnecessary. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody, even if you are a fan of possession movies.

I honestly do not see how anybody can enjoy this. The story is ok, it could be really good, if it weren't for the disgusting and nauseating cinematography. Freakish looking people, ADD/ADHD style editing, it looks like a LSD trip clip made for MTV. I always wonder what the life of directors looks like who make these films. They cannot possibly be normal and functioning people. Otherwise they would not be able to come up with this superweird crap.
