This movie should in no way be associated with the original masterpiece, it should have been it's own standalone film like The pope exorcist. It was very slow for the first half trying to set up the story but that still didn't create compassion for it's main characters many of whom are unlikable. No real build up or tense palpable fear like the original just a bunch of energetic exorcism stuff in the last 20 minutes. It just didn't work and we end up feeling sad and let down rather than amazed and triumphant.
