Menendez: The Day of the Lord

This is litrally one of the best excorcism movies I've seen since the last great excorcism foreign movie I watched well done part 2 please

After a long time finally something good from Netflix in horror genre... Thoroughly enjoyed and twists kept me on my couch until the end. Good flick on Halloween and must watch for horror movie lovers....

Some scenes were so funny. It made me laugh really. Overall not a good movie. When it finished, I asked myself, what did I watch? Too much violence, even more kind of pedo and incest scenes made me disturb..i am not sure about second part..

I didnt quite expect to see when i first started this devil excorsism alla' mechico. it has as usual a long slow intro, just as the originalos made in the 70's and you get this sound feeling that this must be a hysteric parent that wish to retain power as an adult towards a blossoming, wanna have fun, daughter.

but the excorsist of 70's are minced meat compared to this. i liked the second half very well, because it had so many funny, but also extremely violent phases that it almost came to be like laughing on adrenaline, and you get so confused considering who is the devil among the caracters.

so its demonology at its best, a well acted and produced religiou horror thinks the grumpy old man.recommended

For the record, I'm seeing what looks like, tons of fake reviews, some going so far as saying those that didn't like it is due to culture being "lost" for certain audiences, I strongly disagree as I am of Latin descent and speak fluent Spanish, so nothing was lost in translation here. I figure I'd chime in with a quick review of PROS and CONS of this movie. PROS: Its has the dark atmosphere nailed and at times can be genuinely creepy. The actors are great and the acting is good enough to keep you invested in the characters, especially Priest Menendez himself. CONS: A weak story that could've been told in a 30 minute anthology series. The movie takes itself WAY too seriously given the material and, certain...situations...presented later in the film. Some of the dialogue is downright laughable! Also didn't know a good old fashioned beat down was part of the exorcism ritual, but here it is, unnecessarily brutal and long. As far as exorcism films, this isn't the worst (I hate how the term "worst movie ever" gets thrown around so easily), but there's also plenty better out there. If you need a quick 90 minute possession horror film, I strongly recommend the superior Mexican/Venezuelan production, "The Exorcism of God (2021)".
