Absolutely Brilliant!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I used to believe in things like this but after watching this "joke-umentary" I can't say that I do. I put up more of a fight at the age of 5 when the nurses tried to give me a shot to knock me out for surgery and I am sure the language and grunts coming out of my mouth were a lot scarier than this womans. If she was possessed then why didn't she head but Father Amorth and bite those holding her down. She was compared to a caged animal? Try this tactic with a monkey. William you should be ashamed for putting this thing together. I love how you were only allowed to use your camera yet there was one in the room showing you filming it. Wasn't it convenient that you didn't have it at the end? You must have learned that trick from the Bigfooters. I also love all the extra people in the room after stating that the devil (demon) sometimes transfers to the next person, If it was a true demon no exorcist would allow that many people in the same room during the exorcism in the fear of containment. This is the worst documentary that I have ever seen.

Spoilers aheadWhen Christina's parents were blessed by Father Amorth, she became violent with possession again. Why didn't Father Amorth focus on her again? Why did he just continue to bless her parents? If the case of possession is so unique, devastating and devastating to her, why just leave her with it while blessing other people? The narrator even mentions that she is more violent than before, but no one does anything about it? How did Father Amorth, a very holy Father, just die from pneumonia?Why was the extremely dramatic meeting in Alatri not even filmed or recorded? When you call Christina and she sounds angry on the phone, you can assume that you might have a chance to film something that is exactly what the documentary is all about. Wait, what was the documentary about again? This confirmed for me that the whole documentary is fake.

Friedkin does try his best to make this somewhat credible, I'm not religious in the slightest but went into this with an open mind. The build up was fun, hearing these accounts from Christina's family about the horrific things that had happened, oh boy, I'm very interested in when we get to the 'real' exorcism, then we find out this is Christina's 9th lap around the holy field and at that point is where any optimism left me, this is simply religious propaganda. Go to mass and holy ceremonies because this is how you'll get the devil anGerY, then you'll know you're possessed.The 'fact' that Christina has been exorcised 8 times prior to this recording is just an easy way to dismiss the far more extreme symptoms she allegedly had in the previous exorcisms; which leads me to the damn voice. The. Damn. Voice. It's just post production magic, synthesising the voice, and its blindingly obvious, take a listen back at it and notice how every time Christina's demonic voice is projected, the room goes silent and even when Amorth is speaking, his voice disappears, but his mouth keeps going. I have a lot of respect for Friedkin and his contribution to modern film, but he was in over his head here, couldn't even isolate a track in order to keep background noise over the voice.The documentary is a sham, watch for a few laughs.

The sound of the posessed woman's voice/screams is worth seeing it, though I found the director's story about his later meeting with the woman at the end of the movie even scarier - if only he had filmed that! Amorth comments that the demons can enter a nearby host after an exorcism, hopefully they can't come through the television to you.
