Description

Timothy Dalton stars as Father Bowdern, the priest who battled the devil for the soul of a child. Suffering unspeakable horrors and witnessing incredible evil, he must overcome his doubts and face his fears. Based on the actual case that inspired The Exorcist, nothing before has been a shockingly terrifying as the one and only true story!

I enjoyed this film a lot more than any or all of the Exorcist films, primarily because it tends to stick a little closer to the facts in the case (yes it still throws hollywood tricks in to make it more exciting) and details more of the innner life of the priests. Timothy Dalton is great and his camaraderie with the other priest in the story is terrific. When I saw any version of The Exorcist I was always fascinated by the priests and wanted more of their stories and their struggles. This movie gives you more of that and shows them realistically faltering on their own to learn about and perform the exorcism rite. No exorcism film comes closer to the real facts (internet study shows it was not quite so fantastic as this film or any makes out) or is more entertaining than this one.

Possessed, DVD review.......2007-01-12

I purchased "Possessed" in DVD format to replace the old VHS tape my wife would watch EVERY Halloween season! It is a true story, which makes it all the more scary! Everybody needs to watch this movie at least once.

"Possessed" is an unconvincing portrayal of an exorcism that apparently occurred some years ago and was the basis for the classic and seminal demonic possession movie known as "The Exorcist". The acting is very poor in this movie and the movie fails to deliver the goods.

The movie, "Possessed", lacks the substance, style and atmosphere necessary to make any kind of horror movie effective, especially one about possession. The action in this movie comes off as artificial and lacking the essence of the horror associated with demonic possession. By contrast, "The Exorcist" thrusts the viewer into the world of demonic possession and, as a result, the viewer becomes emersed in the story and can actually feel the horror and pain associated with this subject matter. "Possessed" tackles a very difficult issue and does a very poor job of portraying demonic possession and exorcism.

In short, "Possessed" is lifeless and has no spirit which is necessary to present the horrors and trappings of demonic possession and exorcisms. For good movies on demonic possession, I recommend "The Exorcist", "The Exorcist III", "Amityville II: The Possession" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", especially "The Exorcist" based on the novel by William Peter Blatty.

Possessed is not just another Catholic scandel. I am not going to spoil the silm by delving into the intracacies of the plot, but take my word for it, this is a must if you are to understand what innicents have been subjected to by those sworn to protect and provide for the.

I absolutely thought this was a great movie. It was scary yet it had a real feel to it. I think Timothy Dalton is a great actor and he did a fantastic job with the role of the tormented Priest. His remembrances of his World War II experiences were particularly moving. I liked this movie alot...was surprised at how moving I found it. Worth a watch.
