The fate of the world lays on Winona Ryder’s shoulders in this movie where she is cast as a religious fanatic who believes that a crime writer (played by Ben Chaplin) has been chosen as Satan’s body here on earth. This new modern take on the old horror great The Exorcist looks different and imaginative.
As you can guess this is another attempt to bring the forces of good and evil to the big screen and you guessed it evil loses again and the world is saved. Just how come the devil is so evil, but hopeless when it comes to fighting? Also how long will it before he gives up and goes into retirement? You just can’t go on fighting and losing forever.
Directed by Janusz Kaminski (well known for Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List) the film could be better in places. Ryder is miscast, yet it does not show up due to excellent supporting cast including John Hurt.
Overall the film is dull and boring. Avoid at all costs.
