Short review.

This film stands alone as a tense addition to the slasher/survival genre. It has some cannon thrown in for good measure amd it's scary and makes you want to shout at the TV. If you like the franchise you'll like this, never seen the franchise but like horror- you'll like this. Good kills, good gore, good decisions made by both the protagonist and the antagonist. Not sure what else you might want ?

After some awfully hamfisted exposition, 4 friends (seemingly only friends because their Dads are mates) decide on a road trip for a very weakly established plot point. Along the way they make terrible decisions and act like they're in a first time community theatre production. I can't stress this enough- this is awful and my best guess is someone did this as a favour to someone who needed money laundered. There's NO reason. For this film to exist. Not so bad it's good, just bad. Not enough substance here to write anything more on the film so I'll end on saying Rasputin by Bony M is a killer track.

Russel Crow told his friends he could do great accents and his mate said 'imagine a film where a kid talks with a deep voice and swears' and the Pope's exorcist was created. It's not funny but it's not not funny either. Fat people riding on undersized scooters that are later used for towing is always a hoot and a kid miming swears to adults is shocking for about 30 seconds and then it's just filler until the end where the movie has an identity crisis and won't commit to being a horror and film and decides it's a campy comedy. Point is that this film is the drizzling sh!ts. Not sure who it's audience is and I don't think it knows who it was going for. As for the plot - a kid gets possessed and needs an exorcist. They look for one, find one and hilarity ensues.
