Possédés : L'exorcisme

This movie is quite awful, I wasn't expecting much but it is very cringe.

The Seventh Day is an exorcist film that makes me wish somebody would steal my soul so that I don't have to witness films like this one. The film tries extremely hard to be scary and unique yet it simply is not either of these things. I struggled so hard to sit through this film as it is chalk full of clichés and tries to hard to be like other exorcism films that are simply, well... better. Now, with all of that being said I am a positive person and do like to see the good in everything. There are some decent moments within this film (though I could count them on one hand) and the acting isn't terrible. Other than those two things I wouldn't recommend that anyone watch this film, definitely not worth it.

While the subject has been explored in other movies, the Rite of Exorcism is, by itself, a very complex theme to reproduce. Some might call this movie a cliché or a waste of time, but it goes through another route altogether. It's not the "goes to the house exorcise demons" routine. If it could have been better handled? Yes, it could. There's some loose ends to the story. However, I did find it refreshing. Above all, never watch a movie with high expectations. No matter the subject, take it for what it is: Entertainment.

I was so excited to see Guy Pearce's name attached to a horror film, esp exorcism related. Unfortunately the film's flow and writing were just below average. The plot twist tho was refreshing. It wasnt the worst (you know the ones - acting is so bad, effects worse etc) but no where near the really good ones. It is a one time watch. I really hope for a upgraded part 2.

2 out of 5 stars.

The Seventh Day is a bad horror film. With dull acting. Boring plot which is no different than any other exorcism movie. Guy Pearce talent is wasted in this film.
