Director and co-writer William Brent Hill shoots in faux-documentary style, some of which works; most of which doesn’t. He brings nothing new to the style, but manages to get the low production values to work in his films' favour at certain points – particularly the underground exorcism. The storyline itself is ludicrous and full of nonsensical actions and plot holes, with characters behaving in frankly unbelievable ways. In addition it has a number of major structural flaws. When Isabella, for example, sits in at “exorcism class” and hears a lecture about multiple possession and demonic transfer and how great a danger that presents to the priest, then you don’t have to be a genius to figure out where the story is heading.
