My husband bought this DVD for me for Christmas last year as he knows I like a good horror movie or one that at least makes me jump a bit.

As you may or may not know, he is the ... Read the complete review

Especially vehement were the reviewers in the U.S who accused the movie of being pedestrian, ill conceived and generally, just not very good at all. It was always a worry when the project's first director, John Frankenheimer, died in 2002, prompting the departure of lead, Liam Neeson. This was followed by Paul Schrader’s film being scrapped and Renny Harlin was brought in to re-shoot from scratch. However, given the desperate state of the previous Exorcist follow ups including the simply ... Read the complete review
