Movie Review: The Exorcism Of God Is Something New And Scary

Movie Review: The Exorcism Of God Is Something New And Scary

I’ve seen at least a hundred exorcism movies, and they were all pretty much the same, and the majority were just plain terrible, always featuring the same recycled ideas shuffled around to try and make a plot look new. When I sat down to watch The exorcism of God I just assumed it would be another low-budget trash version of The Exorcist (no offense). What I got, was shock, it was a new twist on the supernatural that left me impressed. I should probably tell you a little about it before we go any further. In the film, from director Alejandro Hidalgo, who co-wrote The Exorcism of God along with Santiago Fernández Calvete, comes the story of a priest, Father Williams, who while conducting his first exorcism briefly became possessed and did something terrible. He has spent his life trying to find forgiveness within himself while striving to be the best priest he can be. His life seems ideal until

Home Release Date Announced For The Horror-Thriller ‘You Are Not My Mother’

You Are Not My Mother, from writer-director Kate Dolan, spins a dark tale inspired by Irish legends on Blu-ray and DVD this Summer. Starring Carolyn Bracken (“Dublin Murders”), IFTA Award nominee Ingrid Craigie (“Blood”), and Dublin International Film Festival Discovery Award winner Hazel Doupe (Kathleen Was Here), You Are Not My Mother takes viewers on a frightening, yet authentic coming-of-age journey through the dark history of the folks in Ireland. In the film, set the week before Halloween, Char’s bedridden mother, Angela, has mysteriously gone missing. All that remains is her abandoned car parked in the middle of a field. When Angela returns home to their North Dublin estate the following evening without explanation, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same, but Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and frightening as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force. As Halloween approaches, a night steeped in

Short-Film Reviews: “Talisman,” “Wendigo,” “SMAHORROR,” and “Spare Body” (National Film Festival for Talented Youth)

Short-Film Reviews: “Talisman,” “Wendigo,” “SMAHORROR,” and “Spare Body” (National Film Festival for Talented Youth)

Talisman One person’s belief system is another person’s superstition, and director Reangsei Phos’ Talisman (Canada) finds school-age Yi (Sean Lu) torn between those two schools of thought. His family has just moved into a new house, and as his mother (Qingqing Yang) tries to protect the home against ghosts, his father (Danny Liang) admonishes her not to fill the young boy’s head full of nonsense. Strange things are indeed happening inside the house, which leads to shocking acts of violence. Phos balances solid family drama with well-paced suspense, including some blink-and-you’ll-miss-it occurrences which should keep viewers’ eyes glued to the proceedings. The cast members, including Pascale Behrman, all turn in solid performances. Wendigo The animated short Wendigo (Ireland, 2021) is an intriguing take on the North American First Nations mythological creature combined with other eldritch occurrences. Charlie (voiced by Marc-Ivan O’Gorman) is an inquisitive young man who wants to investigate first-hand what remains of the Olsen manor, site of some

Greece’s Horrorant Film Festival Returns to the Big Screen This May

After a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 virus, Athens, Greece’s Horrorant Film Festival is set to welcome audiences back to its shiver-inducing in-person cinema experience. This May, the fest will serve up 63 delightfully dark features and shorts. Following is the official press announcement. During its first 6 years of life, Horrorant Film Festival has been acknowledged as one of Europe’s most up’n’coming genre fests, and the ever-growing and hungry for exciting cinematic experiences for which fans respond more and more enthusiastically. Unfortunately, that was when Covid-19 hit and everything froze up. For two years, entertainment was considered almost banned and movie theaters paid a hard price. The “easy” solution of online screenings was never an option for us, due to our belief that movies belong in the cinemas. At last, the nightmare seems to be reaching its end, and — carefully but confidently — Fright Nights are ready to return. This two-year hiatus was an opportunity to reconsider
