Eli Roth Presents: The Legion of Exorcists

Could have at least got real priests etc with real life encounters..,oh wait they can't cause none of it is real. Horrible acting...Eric Roberts is in this for gods sake how bad can you get! Eli Roth could have at least brought the gore. It is like a bunch of girl scouts telling campfire horror stories, and weak ones at that. I forgot to switch the channel while writing this and it did not get better...Are there Razzies for fake reality shows? Don't open the box Rita!!! I highly recommend you do not waste any time on this crap. I love horror and exorcism movies (Emily Rose.,.awesome) The actors should have watched some good movies and copied the actors.

Super irritating actors narrating super lame stories and I *should* know better because, Eli Roth...not sure if I'm more annoyed with him, Netflix or myself for having wasted precious minutes on this pap. What never fails to baffle me is the lack of coherence the "exorcists" display. Anyone with even a modicum of exposure to the topic knows the supernatural rules of engagement and why try casting out demons when the individuals affected aren't adherents to any kind of relationship deterrent, ie. Becoming Christians = incompatibility with the demonic. What sort of "pastors" are these people? Did they get ordained online? I am decided, I am most annoyed with myself for being lured in by boredom. Eli Roth score 1, me - goose egg.

I might be jaded, I love horror movies and I don't know if this is supposed to be fun and cheesy. It feels like it is trying to take itself seriously but REALLY missing the mark.

The first few episodes have truly unreal bad acting in the "reenactments". There's also this forced intensity with the Legion of Exorcists telling the stories. This show has been fun but it is definitely something to just have on in the background while you're doing something else; like chores. I don't know. Not something I would suggest going out of your way to watch but still fine if you like watching schlocky horror.

I'm not sure how you make a documentary series about exorcism that ends up this dull. Although it does not seem truthful. I have seen documentaries about the history and belief of exorcism and there are a couple facts that don't line up with this show. First off exorcism is very rare in the modern world especially in the modern U. S. Yet this show makes it seem so common. An exorcism can only be preformed by an exorcist, it is special training separate from any and all other training in the Catholic church. Yet when you watch the show they are listed as pastor or bishop but none are listed as exorcist, IMDB has them listed as actor and when you go into the profile it says they have been acting for the past 20 years or however long they have been doing it. So none are actual exorcists and even if the claim is they were reading off actual files from real exorcists it's doubtful because they never got permission. An exorcism cannot be performed unless you receive authorization from the Catholic Church and I believe that authorization comes from the Vatican not your local church either way none of the stories mention contacting the Catholic Church for approval before performing an exorcism.

Even if it is all true how the stories are told is just dull, slow and mostly boring.

Completely missed the mark. Bait and switch for luring viewers on Roth's name and previous work. If I could give 0 stars it would be too much. It feels like they are attempting to retell and reenact anecdotes that are assumed to be truthful and have a somewhat horror vibe. Unfortunately Father Wrong and his cast of misfits just create a mockery of a very personal and very frightening experience for the true victims!!!!! The only thing that was semi inspiring was the amount of Aquanet in Rita's hair. Go into it if you want a good laugh or you make a drinking game every time you notice the huge cyst on that bald guys forehead.
