Visitor Comments
Ian Douglas: I think the scriptwriters had a good idea until Hollywood got hold of it and called in the CGI boys. I was sometimes confused as to whether the woman was inhabited by Jesus, the dead priest, or some demon. The film is likely to attract some controvesy.

Asishekar Bisseru: The movie is one of the best sci-fiction movies I have seen and the you can see that there is a story behind the movie.

Robert Haynes: Stunningly different Hollywood horror hokum with - yes !!! - a plot. Genuinely disturbing scenes are not lightened up by way of tacky one-liners or irritatingly shallow characters. Beautifully shot and edited like a Marilyn Manson music video - with class... One complaint only - the age restriction - sheesh if I had 13 year olds no way would they be allowed to watch something as sensitive and controversial as this. A must to see on the big screen - you'll thank me...

Madeleine Shama: Very good movie, don't expect to sleep afterwards!

Vanessa Govender: Excellent movie. Sat enthralled throughout the entire movie. Should release more of these kind of movies.

Heidi Corry: This is a very thought provoking movie. It is visually stunning and the cinematography is very well done. No matter which religion you follow, this movie is bound to leave you thinking...

Guinevere Vos (22): This was one of the best films I have ever seen - the film left me feeling good and it restores your faith in humanity.

Tracy Thompson (16): It was a great movie to get you to start thinking.

Emmerentia Chamberlain: This movie had a good and meaningful plot and people's reactions will be influenced by their religious perspectives. I was also confused in the beginning by the identity of the person who was posessing the woman. It's a pity Hollywood tried to present it as a horror - it is misleading.
