The reviewer didn't even mention that this movie is an extreme rip-off of The Exorcist! He deserves to be pimp slapped for that.

No he doesn't because every exorcism movie has been a rip-off of the Exorcist since it came out. Plus in the fifth paragraph he states 'Although the movie's plot has been done before (lets face it, nothing is ever going to live up to The Exorcist). Then later he addresses the prequels to Exorcist. Maybe you should read the review before jumping the reviewer. The movie has its faults but it wasn't that bad and managed a few scares.

I thought this movie was scarier than exorcism of emily rose. There's a lot of scenes to make you jump off your seat or close your eyes. Also this is one of the bloodiest and gruesome movies I have ever seen!

If you thought this one was bloody, then you should watch some of Leigh Scott's earlier films such as Frankenstein Reborn or The Beast of Bray Road. He does like to use the fake blood and gore to help set the mood.

what a bunch of moronsMar 23rd, 2006 - 22:46:56

You think this was a good movie?
This was low budget crap, I had to fast forward through most of the movie...
..the only smidgeon of redeeming quality this movie had was we got to see the actresses tits for about 30 seconds. Better then Emily Rose or Dominion (Renny Harlon) are you serious? This movie looked like it was some college kid's film school project gone wrong.

This may may have been the cheesiest, lamest, low budget joke of a film I ever had the displeasure to see. I like the Exorcism genres, and at least they are going to remake The Omen this summer as well.......but it baffles me how any director can get funding for this piece of crap.

You call yourselves horror fans? You should be ashamed of yourself that you liked this film.

You call yourself a horror fan when you are saying 'at least they are going to remake The Omen this summer.' How can anyone be jumping up and down for a remake of that.

This movie isn't great but it is a damn site better than the prequels to the original Exorcist. The Emily Rose movie is a crock of poop, plain and simple!. It makes Uwe Boll's movies look like Romero's 'Dead saga' for Christ sake. Not one bit of it is able to redeem the cast or crew of that crapfest for their actions in bringing it to us. As I said, this movie aint all that great but it isn't the worst of the demon possession movies, not by along shot.

Hey guys,if you think THIS movie was bad,maybe you should see 'Infested'.I think this movie was pretty good,i would rate it about 4 out of 10...on the other hand, Infested...now that's a lame movie...it can't even scare a 4 yr old kid...crappy effects,lame 'monster',acting was horrible,and the way to kill the 'monster' was just stupid...sad,huh?So...overall,Exorcism:The Possession of Gail Bowers was pretty good,i liked it...hit me back with your oppinion after you see Infested ;)

How can you say this movie is better then the prequels to the original exorcist?

Are you serious? I am not saying the prequel movies are great, but they had an on location shoot, real actors, better story and better effects (because of a better budget) then this piece of crap low budget disaster.

You think this was scary? What the hell are you talking about?

And YES, I can't wait until the new Omen comes out. The original Omen was one of the best horror movies ever at the time. That is a great movie. I am looking forward to the updated version.

Everyone is scared of different things. For me, the scariest movie of all time was the Exorcist. The Shining was also very scary. In recent years, The Grudge and the Ring kinda freaked me out, and were much more scary then this piece of crap movie.

emily roseApr 17th, 2006 - 20:46:11

emily rose was a great movie compared to this.
the thing with emily rose is they looked at the legal implications of what happened and the social implications........it was not just all about pea soup and
crosses in the vagina....the scene in Emily Rose where she is contorted on the ground with her face all messed up was 100% scarier then anything in this Gail Bowers lame fest.

I thought this movie kicked ass! I loved the Exorcist and when I saw Emily Rose was disappointed. Noel Thurman as the sister Anne was the hottest and most solid actor. Gail Bowers dirty little was pretty much of a turn on as well. This little low budg film was a cool new twist! I love Leigh Scott and am going to see Frankenstein Reborn tonight!

This is not so bad. The worst one i've seen to date is a turkish remake of the exorcist... with the unlikely title: SEYTAN.

By the way... Max Von Sydow's character in the exorcist is: Lankester MERRIN and not MIRREN.

I really thought this movie was cool there was all cool effects and the score was excellent. I am curious why some have to give it a bad review or shall I say opinion!Gail Bowers, did a great job. To be honest I thought the acting was superbly done, the older beautiful sister and her Husband totally believable relationship. The priest was a little over done but it still worked well! I will give this a 2 thumbs up!

Sorry about the typo on MERRIN. It has been fixed in the article.

I thought the movie of Gail Bowers was wild, but in all seriousness... since when and in all other films of exorcism have you heard her say 'i want to do this, or you know you want this lil *&$#%'? It just seems wierd to me, but it was as well scary considering it is true and it made me hold my ears. You know what I am talking about. The movies or Haunted houses you go into and you feel more comfortable holding your ears and seeing rather than hearing and not seeing. haha let me know!??????????????
