    BEST movie made in the past 73.5 years!!

    Ever since I was born, I have been waiting for a movie like this!! It truly enlightened me beyond common sense. The camerawork is nothing short of perfection. The sound team did a magnificent job of playing audio clips just as long as they should be and NO shorter. The characters have such depth to them that you feel as if you know them personally. In fact, I have started to worry that one of my own "pickle fam" (people I play pickleball with) will become possessed and kill babies and eat dogs! I am so glad that no shots were reused, which is impressive because that evil company "Marvel" can't even get that right! I am so thankful for more pickleball movies being made. They are my only joy in life after margaret left. This movie is a MUST WATCH!!!

    Best movie ive ever watched

    It so funny its a joy all the way through. Found it while scrolling things and watched it with some friends, laughing the whole time its so stupid and i love it, a absolute joy everyone should watch this masterclass of a film nobody was expecting the dance number and it was absolutely great for a small budget team they did good and i will never forget this movie as it is the funniest thing ive seen in a while the pickle ball exorcists is truly a wonderful film and i want a sequel because its so unbelievably funny, do yourself a favor grab some friends and watch the movie dont take it seriously and its a wonderful experience.

    Absolute Cinema

    Cinema has long served as a mirror to the human experience, offering both escapism and introspection. Over the decades, we've seen masterpieces that reshaped storytelling - from Citizen Kane to The Godfather to Parasite. But no film, not even these titans, captures the raw emotion, surreal imagination, and physical agility of the human soul quite like The Pickle Ball Exorcist.

    By those standards, The Pickle Ball Exorcist doesn't just qualify - it dominates. It is a film that dares to be weird, dares to be sincere, and dares to believe that a good rally might just save the world. It blends the sacred and the silly, the spiritual and the sporty, into something that feels utterly new.

    And in a world filled with sequels, reboots, and franchise fatigue, The Pickle Ball Exorcist stands as a gloriously unhinged original. A cinematic serve that lands squarely in the corner of your soul, just inside the line of divine absurdity.

    The worst garbage I've ever seen...

    Right, well how this 2025 movie titled "The Pickleball Exorcist" managed to land a 4.4 rating on IMDb, in this very moment of me writing this review, is simply beyond my comprehension. This was without a doubt the worst rubbish I have stumbled upon.

    I managed a staggering 14 minutes of the garbage that is "The Pickleball Exorcist" before I tossed the towel in the ring and gave up on writer and director Evan Jacobs's 2025 movie. It was just painstakingly obvious that the movie would not improve.

    Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor on the cast list. Not that I would call what I witnessed in those abysmal 14 minutes as being anything even remotely close to being acting.

    The special effects were exactly that; special. The blood spray effects and sounds were laughable to behold. Not to mention the severed head.

    This is without a doubt not a movie that I will ever return to attempt finish watching. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend to anyone to waste their time, money or effort on.

    I would rate "The Pickleball Exorcist" zero stars, but that is not possible, so I have to reluctantly settle for a one out of ten star rating.

    WTF did I just watch

    A couple of weeks ago I reviewed Waspzilla as possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Well we have a new #1 contender. Totally devoid of plot, acting, effects, and budget I have to say I have no idea what I just watched and I'm actually mad at myself for watching it all the way through.

    There's not much to say. The budget literally felt like around... $50. They couldn't even afford enough fake blood for the murder scenes. They'd toss a little blood on the pickleball paddle and loop the same thing over and over. I've never seen anything so amateurish. Never once does the killers possessed pickleball paddle actually make contact with a single victim. It's as if a blind 5 year old choreographed the kills.

    And when you think it can't get any worse a man gets decapitated and you see a dolls head fly. Another man gets killed holding a plastic baby doll. The baby flies and then you realize the man is the same man that got killed not in different clothes... And then the killer goes to work on the plastic baby... Stock baby crying sounds and all. Oh and then he goes after a dog... I mean you couldn't even get a real dog... Just used well... It wasn't even really a doll of was like a child sewed what they thought looked like a dog and they just said let's use this.

    It's one thing if you're playing it for laughs... And they actually might have been... But nothing was remotely funny. Like my friends and I make better jokes when we're drunk and ad libbing.

    Then there's the detective/exorcist who's supposed to be the comedy relief.. except all he can do is repeat the same lines over and over thinking he's funny when he's just insufferably annoying. I mean the actors in this movie couldn't possibly have ever taken an actual acting lesson in their life.

    Seriously I have no idea how this got made... Well okay it got made because someone had a bad camera and an idea... But I have no idea how this got any type of release because it's quite possibly the worst movie ever made...

    The Pickleball Exorcist -15.7/10.
