First Hi-Res Look at Filmax’s ‘Exorcismus’ Displays the Power of the Cross
How can you not be excited for Manuel Carballo’s Exorcismus? After Filmax killed it twice with Rec and Rec 2, it’s hard to imagine them dropping the ball on yet another exorcist-themed horror film. Starring Tommy Bastow, Sophie Vavasseur, Richard Felix, Douglas Bradley and Stephen Billington, Bloody Disgusting was provided with the first ever still from the film that explores the popular horror theme of exorcism, focusing on a young girl, Suzy, whose erratic behaviour forces her family to bring in a priest to try and resolve the problem through hypnosis. The disturbing results are recorded on a secret camera.
“Emma is sick. Tired of studying at home instead of going to school, tired of baby-sitting his younger brother, tired of their parents. Emma’s parents are overprotective, agnostics and overly strict with their children’s education. Emma wants a different life, wants to be free … Inexplicably Emma begins to suffer strange attacks that parents attributed to psychological problems, but she knows that these attacks have a very different origin. Emma knows that something terrible inside that is gripping it. Emma wanted to be free … Some things are best ever wished absence thereof…”

The official Resident Evil trailer has arrived this morning, bringing a closer look at the nonstop survival horror ride filled with references to Capcom’s classic game series and T-virus gore.
Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
The trailer below introduces Austin Abrams (Weapons) as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Cregger directs from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4).
The trailer keeps its focus on the central human character arriving amidst an outbreak, revealing very little in the way of its mutated threats. The film’s director previously teased not to expect a zombie-heavy film.
Cregger explains, “This movie doesn’t utilize zombies that much. It’s much more focused on the weird creature stuff than the zombies. There’s really only two scenes, maybe three, where there’s proper zombie stuff going on. And two of those three are in the trailer.”
“But other than that… I wouldn’t call this like a zombie movie,” Cregger previews. “I just feel like, you have this opportunity for the T-Virus to do all these really fascinating things to the human body, and to the world around you, and so to just limit it to zombies feels like a squandered opportunity. So I tried to really vary it up.”
According to the film’s listing on the AMC Theatres website, the runtime for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is 1 hour, 35 minutes, making it one of the franchise’s shortest movies.
And we are expecting a very intense, fast-paced 95 minutes from the film.
