Another successful "exorcism" streamed online - or so it seems. Can the "exorcist", producer and their team bring the ratings up? Ratings skyrocket, when a real demon gets involved.

————————————————————————-

This film Stays entertaining enough  throughout. It offers twists and turns though for any savvy viewer I beleive they will be able to see where it is headed. It will Keep you guessing throughout. Though by the end feels a bit predictable 


The film sets up the audience early to not believe everything that they see as truth. So it tries to keep that mood of guessing throughout. 


Though the movie has some roles that feel useless and only there to add to the bloodshed and kills. The cast still managed to make you care and believe what happens. So that it keeps you engaged. As it seems relevant with today's times and online atmosphere. 


It has very impressive special effects for the most part. Especially for a film that you can tell had a limited budget.


It might have an opinion on social media but it doesn’t beat you over the head with it oir try to act like it’s above it or smarter. Which is what makes is all the more charnong and actually clever. 


One will admit Kyle Gallner being in this film is what Initially peaked the interest. Another film where he is pretty much one of the leads and is phenomenal. In the rare chance to play a more likable character.


Grade: B-
