There's one topic horror films can't get enough of lately, and it's possession. You've seen one person possessed by the devil, or demon, or whatever and you've seen them all. At the beginning of the film I found it's tongue and cheek sense of humor endearing. It gave the film a Scream-like sense of humor, yet still allowing it to belong in its own genre. I also enjoyed the fact that for the first three quarters of the film we were treated to an agnostic's point of view on the subject of exorcisms. Really, this film lost me at the end when the character has a change of heart in a completely cliché and uncharacteristic turn. But truly, regardless of everything I just said, the only reason to see this film is to see Anthony Hopkins possessed, which was a complete treat.
