Not a bad start for a new exorcist trilogy but could have been better. The film did well to keep me engaged but failed in charcter development and scares. The film didn't focus on the girls before the possession and failed to show them through their possession and although the scenes with the two girls possession were excellent, there wasn't enough of it throughout the film. It failed to scare me and although the acting was great the failure to not show the main dad struggling with his beliefs toke me out of the film. I hope the directors cut offers more.
